No contest here.

#2 I didn't really read it but I saw the word "naked" and pictures of two elderly people. Not a nice mental image.

#3 Hey, you're a slob and you can't write if your living conditions depended on it. Plus you're a whore.

I voted

"In spite of the idea of a 22 year old woman invoking the clich� of "writing the Great American Novel", imagery of bunk beds and minivans have been evoked. There is definitely a clear and urgent need here. Plus I read hers first and didn't bother to read the other two. That is all."

#1: Writers are supposed to struggle. I hear it builds character which will help you write that great novel. Write obituaries or free lance for a magazine about dogs, I personally don't care since it is your fault you picked a major in college that gave you such few job opportunities.

#2: You're 27 and live with your mom and grams. If you need more money to move out get a second job. Anything has to be better than what you are doing now.

#3: Is a whore and in Illinois.

I voted for #3.

Everyone else is out of school and has no excuse for why they can't work and pursuit their other interests.

Wait, writer is worse than whore? Does the type of whore matter? Black whore? White whore?

Oh, an I dare anyone to try an support themselves based on freelance writing alone.

I wish your friend good luck. Yes, I voted. Is it true that you can return daily and vote?

#2 moved in with Granny to save a dime and now he's bitching? Burn in your personal geriatric hell, cheap ass!
#3 Sounds like she likes to tear it up, and she's bitching about being poor. If she considered an interesting new career in prostitution, she could get to stay in a new apartment every night... and get paid! What a deal!

Voted for #1.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
