to the user "engine" at livejournal:
hi aaron. um, i don't know how to ask you this, but ....
i really want a livejournal, and i really really want to use the username engine, but you see, it's already taken by you.
so... i noticed that you've never made an entry ever and may i be presumptuous as to ask if you'd kindly give your account to me?
please? pretty please?
