I've recently become horribly excited about it all.
You're an author! Pretty soon you can drop lines like, "When I published my first book..." at cocktail parties.
Murk: But you're a God! The Sacred Glorificus! Glory: I'm a God in exile. Far from the Hellfires of Home and sharing my body with an enemy that stabs my boys in their fleshy little stomachs!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Everytime I say, "I'll discuss it with my agent," I feel like a huge poseur.

Well, practice the cool pose with a cigarette in one hand and a cocktail or your sunglasses in the other.
No matter how you feel about it, the fact is that you are an author and you do have an agent. It's a fact. Like your awesome hair.
Allyson has awesome hair.
Allyson is a writer.
Allyson's book is being published this year.
Allyson has an agent.

What is even happening?
I think you're only a poseur if your agent is imaginary.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I'm a poseur when I say I'm going to discuss something with my agent. Really, of course, I mean Allyson's agent.

It really is a small world, right?
She wrote to me to say that she met Kat n' Lori, and that they seemed so familiar, and suddenly she was all, "Gay Wedding Tree! OMG!" And she felt like a big fan.

Whoa.

A survey by researchers at Villanova University has found that 85 percent of Roman Catholic dioceses that responded had discovered embezzlement of church money in the last five years, with 11 percent reporting that more than $500,000 had been stolen.
85%!

So cool, Allyson.
So traffic was HORRID (3 accidents) and I got home late and UPS just left another freaking postit. I didn't sign it in the right space. Save me from anal-retentive UPS people.
I checked, and holy crap, MK is probably 14. At his adoption in 1995, they guessed he was 2. And he'll have had diabetes since summer of 2003. Devi'll be 10 this year.
And lisah, I know you have huge cats, but that picture of dog-sized Swifty next to Frank? HUGE ORANGE CAT.

That's cool -- they're two reporters whose stuff I pay attention to, because one has the religion beat, and the other has nonprofits. It's like a crossover!
