Eat like a Roman! Taste the same thing the Caesars tasted! Here is a recipe I worked out for an Ancient Roman dessert-like dish.
Tyropatinam: accipies lac, adversus quod patinam aestimabis, temperabis lac cum melle quasi ad lactantia, ova quinque ad sextarium mittis, si ad heminam, ova tria. In lacte dissolvis ita ut unum corpus facias, in cumana colas et igni lento coques. Cum duxerit...

Man, I still cannot figure out what the problem is that's making it so my Crude Furie set has all those random other photos of me in it but forbids me the knowledge of how to get them out of there. I asked for some troubleshooting on that from the models coordinator and was told they didn't know. It's been about a month and they...

I think your set was too artisctic and not enough sexy, maybe.
aristophanes:
It's totally in the hopefuls, and I have no intention of making any sets at the level of "sexy" that seems to be required around here. I don't mind the set being on the site, but there's like 7 pictures that aren't actually a part of the set, and I can't get rid of them -- fellow hopefuls might know the procedure if they submitted the photos on their own, you send in the set and potential profile pics all at once. Somehow, even though I followed the naming procedures for the files, whoever is in charge mistook the profile pics for part of the set and posted them that way. I would make an angry emotioncon here but I would feel tacky doing so in public.

Going on a trip! The whole family, even those cousins I have vaguely heard might exist but haven't seen since being old enough to remember, are going out to LA for my grandmother's 90th birthday celebration this weekend. Going to LA always cheers me up, as does going anywhere that isn't the hideous little hippie equivelent to an elephant's graveyard where I live.
Also, you...

I've just seen your set in the hopeful section.... I love it, really, that's art.
I hope it will be accepted soon

Haha, those are great!
At first, I was afraid this was going to be a recipe for garum -- man, that stuff is foul.
