who the?! hey the?!

So I'm reading this novel by Mrs Gaskell and it's nearly 700 pages long and I'm totally into it and I'm all "What's going to happy with Molly and Roger?!" even though I know, really, what's going to happen with Molly and Roger, but I want to see it, you know, I mean because now I've been living with these people for nearly 700 pages, so I stay up til about 2 in the morning reading and reading and then I only have a few pages left and I turn the page and the last chapter is called "Note from the Cornhill Editors" and it turns out she never finished the book! She died. What the fuck!? Shouldn't there have been a warning label?

I don't know if you can see this. But half of this lovely tattoo is a line from my book. Holy crap! This is from the back of a student of NEG's. I think it's so cool and weird. He must be a really insiprational fucking teacher. I think I want to include it in my bio from now on. Like...her work has appeared in blah, blah, blah, and on the lower back of a young female co-ed at the University of Colorado, Denver. Or something like that. I haven't quite got the wording down yet.

Grrrr

I am CRANKY. And I have no friends here so I have to be cranky by myself (woe, woe!) or else be cranky with Marty who is at a meeting at 5:30pm on a Friday and therefore likely cranky himself.

So: I demand nonsensical stories. Gossip. Movie reviews. Etc. Get commenting!

Much love,

Who has the cutest niece? Me!
