(no subject)

So I'm looking for an address list we brought back from Germany, which means I have to go through that stack of frightfully important papers and large manila envelopes on the closet shelf (you know, the one with the passports and stuff). I find the address list okay, but not until I've waded through things like interesting sketches on the backs of shopping lists, and old housing contracts and stuff like that. And rejections. (I know. I should throw them away. But I think I keep them to prove to myself that a) I am submitting stuff, and b) I'm hoping someday to prove it all wrong) Anyhow. I entered an art contest a while back, not because I thought I was going to win anything, but because I needed to paint something and it was a nice goal to work towards. I got a rejection, as predicted, a couple weeks ago. So yesterday I open it to look and see what that paper was, and I realized it was addressed to some other person with my same last name. So I'm sending it on. Not a nice holiday greeting to get from someone you don't know, but maybe at least they'll have closure?

I'm sure I have my own rejection out there, sent mistakenly to someone else...
