.:And so it Begins:.
Setting the mail on the table, Lily began the laborious project of filtering through the myriad of papers in the vain attempt to find something not offering pre-approved cards or buy one get one free deals. Her pale hand paused from it's auto-pilot motion of table-to-trash motion, staring at the hand written letters.
"Who the heck is.." She paused to read it again, "Joesph Thomas Alexander XV 1/2?" Looking around the room reminded Lily that her roommate was out. Shrugging to herself, she opened it and scanned the first few lines.

Oh. Right. That.
Blinking in surprise that she actually got a reply, Lily felt herself sit down on the couch. Pulling out the paper behind to see what form to fill out, she felt a blush slap her upside the face. What if she filled it out and got a reply? What if she got a
date? She gave a short laugh, shaking her head and grabbing for a pen. Not like she would. She'd fill it out just for fun. Nothing much would come out of these cheesy match-maker wanna-bes anyways.
