Yeah, I looked up bukkake earlier today. That was a mistake.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I left my younger brother speechless when he discovered I knew about bukkake before he did.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
How does this sound (mind you, she was an excellent applicant, and it really was a tough decision, and we know each other from a convention, and through networking of mutual people):

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I think that's a great letter, omnis, insofar as these things ever can be.

A heavy heart, omnis? You're not telling her her grandmother just died. But other than that, it looks fine.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
If it can be done, some human has not only done it, but gotten off on it.
Don't forget "and written fic about it on the internets".

A heavy heart, omnis? You're not telling her her grandmother just died. But other than that, it looks fine.Well, she's trying to find a job in the arts in this economy. If she doesn't find one soon, she gets sent back to So. Korea. So ya, a little heavy on the heart. But that's just me. I'm a pushover.

Agree with Sean on the heavy heart -- it's florid where you want sympathetic but businesslike. Change it to "Unfortunately". And in the next sentence, you hope your paths cross because you'd like to work with her on some future project (or the like). Just "I'd like to work with you" leaves the person wondering "well, why the hell didn't you hire me", whereas the second version leaves the door to "it wasn't the right time/position/circumstances".

Yeah, that stood out to me too.

Eep.
