the betas. they are coming. no, i mean the ones that i owe people, i know i'm wayyyy behind and shit. sorry. i'd also like to take this very public forum to thank *my* betas - Kassie, Hope and Fay because they are all that and some strawberry jam.

i admit that everwood is my guilty pleasure and i want to see eminem live, very badly. oh, and did i mention that someone made me an offer unlike anything else i've heard recently...

a friend of a friend (you know how that goes) very much wants to get a greencard to stay in the country. the deal is for $20,000 in exchange for a marrriage. yeah, no this is real, not greencard, the movie.

i said no for a variety of reason. not that my ass couldn't use 20K - still without a car and all - but the downside far outweighs the benefits. married to some guy i don't know, forced to live together (oh, hell no), and all that lying and work. maybe if there was another zero involved i'd give it actually *thought* but you know. even i have some principles -- just not a lot of'em.

there are some things that money can't buy.

A friend of mine did this very thing and she ended up regretting it for the sheer hassle. She had to stay married to this guy for like two years and they had to have a joint bank account and he used to harrass her for all kinds of stuff to help support his case...like getting pictures taken together and getting mail delivered to her address and just generally being a major pain in the ass. Not to mention the huge deal of trouble you'd be in if Immigration figured it out.

*nods* I agree [if that's of any worth]. It's interesting, because most people dont' think about these things - either a running, screaming NOooo!!! or a, why not? so few people get the in between.

I'm so glad you liked my little ficlet. :D
I look forward to reading more of yours!

I tend to be much more of a gray-area type person. Good and bad on the same spectrum, as are right and wrong. I think that shows a lot in my writing - as for the offer I mean I immediately said no, but then I explained why.
