I think Freud would say that you alien fantasize about getting the kind of "sandwich" Utah gets.

i just woke up. not enough coffee. immediate need for lots of information and caffeine.
closure, shed your anonymity.
be my facebook friend. or email friend. SOMETHING! finally, it seems, you have a definite lead and i can breathe. it's been an awesome round, very exciting!!
and i can also now admit i was listening to pop/dance on Pandora when i wrote my story - that's what i always listen to when i write. i need positive beats that don't interfere with my brainwaves. so i open my ears to pretty much anything Timbaland was involved in, and Lady Gaga. don't judge. any of you!!!!

I can shed a bit of anonymity - I made a post in the sound bank thread so you can see what I look like and hear me speak.

Yeah, I like someone's comment over in the 'War improvement' thread about some sort of respite period to account for the logistics of administration and retooling, but without compromising the valuable weekends so much.
In other words, ending voting on Thursday night or Friday morning so the prompts can go out to the lucky fuckers going on to the next round (fuckers).
