300 love letters... a rather public declaration of love, don't you think? So I'm telling this boy, one of the boys that lots of these love letters are to, about this project. "I'm writing three hundred love letters and sending them to strangers. The letters are going to be glued to the outside of the envelopes, so that the mailman, and presumably whoever the recipient lives with, will be ... Read full entry

Buy your crush a hot coffee and get lucky
