1. Good news: I won a writing contest.

Bad news: I have to fill out a W-9 form to collect the prize money.

Can you say "confusing"? Because I can, and I bet whoever created this damn thing can too. It's sitting in my inbox, now, but I swear I must have been just sitting there staring at it for an hour, capped pen in hand, too terrified to write anything less I screw it up, which I will. In fact, I'm not going to touch it at all. I'll make my mum fill it out.

2. I have purple hair! Or at least, streaks. Vaguely purplish ones. Actually, they're really more of a burgundy color, and not very noticeable unless I'm in the right light and have parted my hair to the left, but hell. I like them anyway. Whoever invented Special Effects: Atomic Pink should be given a medal, just as whoever invented Special Effects: Burgundy Wine should be shot. The former lasts forever; the latter lasts for about a day. If you're lucky.

Congratulations on winning a writing contest! :D That's awesome. And yeah, W-9 forms can be confusing, lol.

Agreed. What is a W-9 form, anyway? Like, why does it exist? What is it used for? Why is it even necessary?

It's like, for taxes and stuff. Or something. It's probably best if your mom fills it out anyway if you're still a minor; she probably claims you as a dependent.

I must say, that is a highly appropriate icon for this situation.

Oh, well, that's a relief then.

Congrats on the writing contest!
Ugh, that DOES sound crazy. I hope you figure out that form. D:

Thank you! I must say, I was very surprised to win; it was kind of crap entry. It was an feminist essay on Doctor Who and Crime & Punishment, though, so I suppose it had the novelty factor. Just goes to show: never underestimate the power of bullshitting!

Oh, sweet!
