Happy Birthday, Deena!
Congrats, paperdol!
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
Aaaand Andrew Sullivan just published my letter on independent publishing.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Excellent letter, paperdol! (Tep, it's here.)
And, from a jaw-dropping link Sullivan provided in an earlier entry on the publishing industry: Jane Austen - not so publishable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Whoot!
In super-dork news, I was watching Ace of Cakes last night, and Mary Alice (my favorite!) was going to Asbury Park, NJ, and said, "Ooh, maybe we'll see Bruce Springsteen!" So I emailed her to tell her that when I went to Baltimore last weekend, I totally said, "Ooh, maybe we'll see Mary Alice!" And she TOTALLY WROTE BACK.

Speaking of cake, I am so craving a piece right now. I think because yahoo had a picture of a piece of delicious looking Red Velvet cake on their front page earlier. There's a store called Cupcake in my work neighborhood but, criminally, it is a clothing NOT a cupcake store. rip off.
