6 Things that rock my sparkly socks:
1. Space heaters, with adjustable fan control and a safety shut-off feature, so it won't ignite the carpet when the cat knocks it over.
2. Teaching English overseas. I've got plans in the works. Last chance to talk me out of it.
3. STORY WEEK! March 12-17. Writers, editors, readings, panels, drinking. Yay! I should camp out at school, set up a little tent on the 12th floor.
4. Cheap Chinese food. (No comments about cats and dogs.. you know I don't order the meat.)
5. My Sister's Continent, by Gina Frangello. Awesome. Complex and scandalous. It gets to your brain and your feelings, the way good realism should.
6. My little blue car. Still running okay after 11 years, 146,000 miles and 5 crashes. (As pictured in lame, suburban driveway. No, my house is not a trailer.)


















6 things that make me sicker than milkshakes do:
1. Drinking so much coffee, your heart does tae bo.
2. While on the subject, tae bo. STUPID!! We had to do that shit in high school gym class. It's traumatic to look that silly in front of your peers, at age 16.
3. Professing your deep and undying love.. on Myspace. To someone who lives 500 miles away. Pffft! What's become of our generation?
4. Managers on a power trip, handing out "write ups" and firing people right and left. No.. my boss isn't like that at all.. heh..
5. My dad's mean spirited, unfunny, drunk-failed-lawyer jokes. "The legal clerk, he flunked out of law school, heh, then he gave out the wrong deposition.. haw haw!"
6. Boys who never call/ Boys who bug you every hour, like a telemarketer/ Being young and having to date boys, instead of men because the only men who will date a 22-year-old are emotionally defecient with hints of pedophilia and/or a frustrated paternal instinct.
(Are #5 and #6 somehow linked?)
