  1. Damn UT! Okay, I'll throw something together at the last minute... I'm not gonna win. It will be fun. Or maybe I'll be busy. Still. Business is overwhelming me. *sadface*

    PS thanks for the book, it will be great to read it when I am not so busy. *sadface* maybe when school starts again ... Dear me.

  2. Fake your death, shoot your video and read the book...then reintegrate yourself into society with your deepest apologies.

    It's the only way ;)

  3. You are a genius! I may even have enough time to WRITE a book! But imagine the amount of flowers my grave would have gotten. I'd be overwhelmed! Death by grave flowers isn't the most dignifying way to go. I'll prepare for that. Thank you JR, you saved me.
