Is that going to turn out to be a euphemism?

I don't do euphemisms, AJGO. I'm world renowned for being incredibly innocent.

As a Pratchett fan you should know the answer to that!
No comment. On an unrelated note I just handled a small prick most impressively
Yeh Ben must be feeling quite humbled.
I'm bored just put in 3 elance bids, ones for a guy giving a best man's speech infront of P Diddy.
Maybe bored enough to bid for the guy paying people to write letters to God.

This sounds brilliant, what's the brief?
Panicking more about essays than I have ever done before. Hoping it's just because it's third year and my last lot of grades were a bit pants, rather than because my actual essays are any worse.
You should post them on elance.
Some one from Bangladesh would write them for $25
or for $200 I could fill them with jokes about fannies (in the non derogatory sense of course).

These things are horrible but not gross.

I expect it's because they're the last ones you're ever handing in!

The $5 amount is a placeholder amount, as I have no idea what to charge for this type of service.
In times of strife, pain and loss, people are often looking for sources of hope or understanding, or simply to feel less alone, or more normal. I've gone through this myself and in due time, I've realized that silence is poison and have become inspired to provide an outlet for others.
As a result, I am writing a book and am looking for submissions for "Dear God letters". "Dear God letters" are letters or e-mails addressed to God that address a particular aspect of your life or life in general. I feel that the knowledge of God and universal themes of life are relatable to everyone and submissions can be from Christians, Jews, Muslims, atheists, agnostics or anything in between. They can be signed off by the letter writer, a pseudonym, or they can be anonymous. The letters can be long or short, funny, insightful, or heartbreaking, about life, death or anything in between; all I ask is that they're honest, and can't have been published, uploaded or submitted to anywhere else. By sharing these letters to God, it is my intention that people will gain insight and find strength, peace in their personal struggles, knowing that they are not alone and finding hope in the experiences of others. I will be pitching the idea and book to literary agents, with the intended goal of having a selection of the letters published in a book.
If interested, please include the following:
1) What you want to be paid for one letter
2) The subject(s) you think you'd likely write about
3) The number of words likely in your letter
4) I only want inquiries from people who have been through something personally, not from people that have only worked with others that have gone through hardships. These stories need to be personal, and it's infinitely more personal if you've actually gone through things yourself. Thanks for understanding!

I keep ramming my plug socket with my wheely chair and having to replace it
I have just had to cover the mirror by my desk with a scarf. It is NOT good to be able to see yourself while you're working. Or indeed doing anything.
The scarf is pretty though. It has pink skulls on it. Much better.

AAAAHHHH!
Hee. Oops.
Um. *tries to distract Robyn with shiny things*
I am just so tired and bored of it all. I wish my deadlines were later, but then I'd have to look at these stupid essays for longer.

Depends how long you're planning to make it and/or spend on it.
Would I feel guilty for making something up? Would I? It'd have to be under a pseudonym
