May 23 is the official due date. If you're posting a response after the unveiling announcement on May 23 please copy the link to your comment, click on the 'set 123' tag, and reply to the post 'Set 123 Responses Unscreened' with the link to your new comment-response.

Oh, I just really, really enjoyed it. It captured so much of Vala's voie--casual, flippant, but earnest, like these are just truths that everyone should pretty much accept.

A girl deserves a break, you know? Of course no one is going to give you that break, so you just have to make it yourself.

And I really liked that, the sense of independence and self-reliance.

And then this was just funny:

You can never con a honest man

No really, you can’t. Dishonesty is what makes a mark a mark.

As was the idea that it leads to all sorts of problems. :)
