You would send this just now. I've been laying out a page all evening for a new
stringer I just met in Manhattan who has a wonderful name: livia sian llewellyn.
Turns out we lived in the same dorm 17 years ago too. But the point is: Every
time I try to force the name into capitals it just stares at me and grins and
pokes out it's tongue every time I turn my head. Livia Sian Llewellyn. I've
tried to make it stand up straight and proper all night, cap'n, but she's jes
not havin' it. I best think this one's jest noot cut out fa da Ahrmy. livia sian
llewellyn. ahhhhhh much bitter.
