Dear Neonsugar,
You are an admirable woman.
Your endurance through the bullshit shows your maturity and strength. You have a worthy goal, and I look forward to seeing you reach it. So many people go to school to acquire a talent and passion that you already possess. And Blacksburg is an amazing place — because that is where you are.
I love you.

My results: Res Ipsa Loquitor
You are a spritely individual who likes to run around and cause mischief. You are lively, rambunctious, and tortious.
