If Laura Llew's last post was about clarification, then this is about explication. First of all, Laura Llew was snogging* some boy on the train platform to Long Island. She knew this person**. This = romance. The date was arranged hastily.*** This = whirlwind. Therefore, Laura Llew had a whirlwind romance that she knew all about. She was just being modest. She's all hott and desirable like that. Second of all, THANK YOU for all the lovely things you've said about me in your Valentines Xchange emails to me. *flutters eyes* Bless your hearts, Y'all are just so sweet. Extra special eyelash batting goes to S. Lord and Elle Belle, who volunteered to help. Wings, arrows and nappies will be distributed forthwith. Third of all, anyone who HAS responded should have gotten a terse little email verifying the info you sent me. LET ME KNOW IT AUGHT IS WRONG IN THEM. I'll also assume the email address I sent these to are the proper ones for troubleshooting issues, so when presents don't arrive, YELLING WILL OCCUR. Fourth of all, if you still want in (DEADLINE = 31 JANUARY) just email me off-list. Fifth of all, it's been a lot of fun. Some amusing facts: The UK and Australia are tied for Most People Sent In (4 all). So far, 4 of the 7 continents are represented. Longest address (no surprise, this) : Kieran Devaney Shortest address : Kerstin Hammes (ever efficient, the Germans) Girls outnumber boys And can somebody explain why the English have such damn long addresses?
