I Can't Keep my Eyes Off Of You...

"Cause it's you and me
and all of the people
with nothing to do, nothing to prove
and it's you and me
and all of the people
and I don't know why...
I can't keep my eyes off of you"

I love that song so much. I swear, it's definitely going to be ONE of the 10 wedding songs I have picked to be played at my wedding (why stop at one? Haha )

Anyhoo, I have four contests running at the same time, and it's so very exciting to see how I'm going to judge them all, with school and friends and all. But, no matter, I'll manage

You know how most contests don't allow chat speak? The usual: OMG, LOl! Well....THIS DOES! What I want this time is a story told entirely in either e-mail, text messaging, or instant messaging. How is this possible, you ask? That's for you to figure out! Just kidding. In case you're confused, I have an example:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1920691/1/Love_Letters

It was the only one I could think of, off the top of my head. If you want, you could make it a letter, either your character (or you) writing to themself or to someone else. Or maybe a memoir of sorts.

If you need a prompt, whether it be a picture, song, or quote, just let me know.

Rules:
1. Don't make the entire story pointless chatter. i.e.: "OMG, How are you? I'm good! Cya L8ter!" Somehow, plot has to be incorporated into the story.
2. Swearing is allowed.
3. Sexual content is allowed.
4. DoNt WrItE lIkE tHiS oR iLl KiLl YoU
5. Put the name of your favorite
6) Not exactly a rule, but HAVE FUN! Feel free to take this any direction you want.
7) Word limit: 50 words. No max

********BROWNIE POINTS*********

1) Teenage characters
2) Humor and romance
3) If you can make me cry, or smile, or laugh out loud, or feel any kind of emotion.
4) Anything gay related! I have this weird obsession with gay men, so gay is WONDERFUL in my book, and encouraged.Rock on, as always! (That's not to say I won't read anything else. I'm pretty open minded)
5) If you can somehow add imagery to your story, that would be incredible and I would forever love you.

    That's an OK song. Honestly, when I saw the contest title I thought it was going to be Frankie Vallie. Much better song, BTW. At least that's what I think.
    For rule 5, do we just name our favorite anything?

    Rule 5?

    In rule five you said, "put the name of your favorite" but didn't specify what exactly. Just thought I'd ask. I've entered two chapters from my current project. I'm writing it with my boyfriend at the moment. In order to get the gist of the story, both halves of chapter one are necessary. It's written in a two-party perspective, [which is why the chapters are split into two parts]. It's a teen romance, angsty...tragic [in some ways] love story. There are many more chapters to it posted, so even if you don't choose it for the contest, feel free to read it any time! Thanks, Linds.

    My story is a journal entry, but it's also kind of like a letter from my character to himself.

    I hope that's okay
