I need help with something. Will you help me?
-- You need to be a nice person.
-- You need to be able to keep a secret.
-- You need to like me, at least a little bit.
-- You need to be forthright.
-- It's probably better if you don't know me in person, although that's optional. I guess real-life friends are welcome, too. But strangers are the best.
-- It might be a little bit fun.
-- This is a favor I'm asking, not a job.
No, it's nothing illegal. I just don't want to write about it on the web right now, because it's sort of just taking shape in my head.
If you're willing to help me, please shoot me an email and/or leave a comment with your contact info and I'll send you details, as I figure them out.
[UPDATE 4/28. Still accepting helpers, until tonight when I go to bed, so don't be shy just because others have signed up.]
[UPDATE 4/29. All set, thanks.]
Reporting for duty!

will this favor get me out of chicago or law school?
Posted by: anonomous | April 27, 2005 at 04:38 PM
I'm intrigued, willing to do anything that will take me away from the monotony and scariness that is my last few weeks of law school, am always happy to help a fellow Mainer, and can't tell anyone but the library carrell.

This sounds like something interesting. Sign me up! (This is the Christina who asked you about your opinion of Valentine's Day on an All Request Day awhile back.) Also, thanks for sharing about your weekend! I can attest to the difficulty of a long distance relationship; I understand your apprehension. And I too battle a bit with blogging about dating/relationships . . .

Happy to help unless the distance is a problem!

It looks like you've already got an army of volunteers, but if you need one more, you can e-mail me!

This is very mysterious and I'll be happy to help if you are still looking for volunteers.

I should be framing some buildings, but this sounds like more fun. Let me know.

Just found your blog and have been reading it. I'm a nice person, I can keep a secret, and I like you already. Count me in if you still need more help.
Posted by: LLS | April 28, 2005 at 04:04 PM
Sounds fun. Count me in.

I'm sorry I missed this before. I would have been happy to help (I certainly have no trouble meeting all your criteria). Hope it worked out well!
