"Yunnie" makes it to the pages of Overheard in New York. In a scene about subway sex. Nice one.
Everything you wanted to know about the Bellevue psych ward's conversion to a luxury hotel but were afraid to ask. [NYM]

Well, I'll be damned - I actually submitted that exchange to Overheard (seriously)! It was about six months or so ago - these girls were just loudly chatting away about that subject in the middle of a rush-hour train.

ha! i wondered if the writer of the overheard would surface. i found it because you made a bunch of people google "yunnie," trying to figure out what it meant. thanks for the extra traffic.

sad you didn't get the cupcake box.
