Happy ML Appreciation Day!
Thank you for threatening me and chasing my (remarkably cute) butt through this 50k, and for the random, inappropriate conversations that kept me distracted so you could catch up.
Thank you for organising the kick off (even though I more or less hid in the corner) and thank you for organising the write in today that I'm going to be late for if I don't leave now.
You guys are awesome. Even if Mel now reminds me of reversing noises and traffic cones, and Stina might be hiding anatomy I didn't know she had.
<3
- Feel free to jump in with your thank you's and appreciation, guys. I've done the ML thing before and it can be a surprisingly large amount of stress sometimes on top of trying to get your own novel done. They need our licks and love so they don't implode by the time they organise our TGIO party!

Yeah, thanks a bunch guys. It's been really good having you organise everything. I wouldn't have gotten through these 8 days without knowing that people were doing it here in Adelaide. You guys make it seem so real.

Lots of hugs... because well... It's 1:15... and well... i'm too tired to list how wonderful you are because everyone else has already done it and apparently Stina's head is already getting too big (apparently...)
So hugs... licks all that other fun stuff... oh and lots of V... and permanent texta :)

You're totally using the wrong soap. I've been using some lush soap. Whipped the texta right off my arm last night and the bits I couldn't reach properly were totally gone in the shower this morning. :D Although. I had no blue on me. Only green, purple and the two pinks.

LOL I went to this convention in Melbourne earlier this year. They made us write on our feet in permanent textas. I swear it took FOREVER to get it off. :D

Thank you! It does take forever! Especially when it's in the middle of your BACK in UNBELIEVABLY HARD PLACES TO REACH D:

Why do you keep letting people draw there then?
And yeah... Mel's right... it shouldn't be that hard to get off your arms. Maybe you should try scrubbing more

You're very welcome!
And I can imagine; it was hard enough for me when it was my feet!
----------But it will come off.. eventually.

I scrubbed until my arms were bright red. Should I have kept going until it bled? :P
I like to be drawn on. DON'T JUDGE ME!

Haha... definitely the wrong soap then... i've never had a problem with it.
I am definitely not saying to stop the drawing because i love being drawn on too... so no judging here... just perhaps limit it to places you can actually reach to scrub at without dislocating something...
