Dear the staff and patrons of the Social Science Library, University of Oxford,

You are love. Seriously.

Sincerely,

~Raven

Dear Every Contemporary-Or-Otherwise Writer On Rousseau Ever,

Je ne parle pas francais parce que je suis bete et je voudrais aller a la maison maintenant s'il vous plait.

In other words, it may be a crime against humanity to study eminent political theorists in translation, and I get the distortion in meaning thing, truly I do, but please: I DON'T SPEAK FRENCH.

love,
~Raven

Dear self,

Regardless of the above, it is not big and it is not clever to type up sections of Rousseau and feed him through Babelfish. Kindly cease and desist.

Sincerely,

~Raven

Dear foulds,

You are lovely, and I apologise for hitting you on the head with The Social Contract. For you, because Kaylee and strawberries are indeed love:



I hope you like it, it's the best I could do fairly quickly.

love,

~Iona

Dear flist,

You are just fantabulous, and yes, I will stop spamming you now.

love,
~Raven

Love you too. [huggles] Squee! Captain Tightpants and the adorable and delicious Kaylee. :D

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

*hug* Oh, I adore Mal. His bitching about Mal, in fact, was why I was hitting foulds on the head with The Social Contract.

I wish I had a DVD player and could see more than just the first six episodes of Firefly. I have the box set, and it's sitting next to me, taunting me by its non-playability.

Most of all, I think, I love that there is no noise in space. Spaceships do not make noise in space, and FINALLY someone has made it so that it matches, you know, reality.

I do love Kaylee so much.

Have you, too, hit Jon with a book? *beams*

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

A thin paperback, but he wailed a bit. *beams brightly back*

[jacinthsong.livejournal.com]

OH GOD FUCKING ROUSSEAU. *cries, hugs, cries some more*

The SSL should be declared a sovereign nation. With a flag and everything.

It is joy distilled, filtered and concentrated

[foulds.livejournal.com]

Yes, all the cool kids are bullying me; isn't this just great

[thecapitalc.livejournal.com]

Foulds, you don't happen to go to St John's do you? I think I may have met you yesterday.

[foulds.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am here, right now, sitting at the top of TW, lamenting the fact that I had breakfast too late, and am not hungry, and will have no food with which to make lunch later when I am hungry.

Yesterday... *thinks* I didn't do anything yesterday, just hid inside translating Petronius... mysterious stranger, I don't know thee who thou art

[thecapitalc.livejournal.com]

You ARE in TW, then. It wasn't you who went to borrow a hole- puncher from a Scrubs- watching medic?

[foulds.livejournal.com]

I am indeed in TW7, but have not, to the best of my memory, ever asked to borrow a hole punch from a medic, as my entire filing system is done with paper files, and thus I have no need for a hole-punch.

I came to you thanks to metaquotes and then spotted that you know chains_of_irony (as well as foulds, withiel et al) and so felt compelled to say h'lo.

If The American Girl's name is Lydia I might just break from all the coincidence.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

American Girl's name is Joyce, sadly, but I admire the coincidence nevertheless! Do I know you, perhaps? You're an Oxonian, I take it...

[natchdan.livejournal.com]

Actually, I'm from little old Leicester, from whence I know Jen. I visited her once and met... Um, as I recall: foulds, chris_venus, withiel, jacinthsong, elethiomel and no doubt more whom I sadly cannot recall. XD

[thecapitalc.livejournal.com]

Damn, sorry, guess your name isn't Jack then! You're definitely on the same staircase as my friend though. That was really random, sorry :)

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

So glad to hear it. *g*

[insaneizzi.livejournal.com]

Dear Raven,

We love you too!

Love, flist

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

*smoooooch*

[darksideofstorm.livejournal.com]

Hey, I tracked you over from metaquotes simply because the pineapple incident reminded me so much of my own friends and I was intrigued. Do you mind terribly if I friend you?

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Hey, of course not! Good to meet you. *g* Pineapples all round!

[darksideofstorm.livejournal.com]

*grin* spread the pineapple love! ^__^

[wavesandmoon.livejournal.com]

Hi. I came over from metaquotes and read a ways back in your journal. I really like your writing style and enjoyed your entries. Plus, Firefly love! Would you mind if I added you?

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Of course I wouln't! I'm glad you enjoy what I write, and it's nice to meet you.

Dear Every Contemporary-Or-Otherwise Writer On Rousseau Ever,

OH GOD

COBBAN

FUCKING COBBAN

YOU READ HIM TOO RIGHT OR AM I JUST SPAMMING HOPELESSLY

*STAB*

Re: belated

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Yes! That's him! He's such an ARSE!
