So I nearly got emotionally burnt out working at the homeless shelters and decided to get out before it really got bad. As a result, I've had to move to Philadelphia, to temporarily stay with my parents. Not exactly my goal at age 29, but it was either that or stay in Baltimore with my cumbersome rent and job that took so much from me...

So you're in Philly now? You should come out for my birthday! Though I don't know where I'm going out yet (have any suggestions?). Regardless, we should get together for some creative writing workshops xD
aniston:
My birthday's this friday.(Sept 14th) Which bars? I was up at school for so long, I don't even know what's going on in philly any more :/ sad times.
I made books. Wrote 'em, designed 'em, printed 'em. You should by 'em.
Deviant, A Novel: An alcoholic with a fractured psyche and a 15 year-old who works at an S&M parlor develop an unlikely friendship, but for both of them, forging a human connection after years of emotional isolation is like returning to a drug after a long period of sobriety: beautiful and terrifying...

So, Dublin. On the Bachelor's Walk, across from the University, check out a wonderful bookstore called "The Winding Stair". Used to serve great sandwiches, too, and super cute girls who love men who read (and adore men who write). Check to see if it's still there and go if it is, you'll like it.

I received all three books today, right in time for the weekend. I will be jumping into Deviant first. Can't wait...
So I pretty much feel like a failure in every aspect of life. I'm not in a good place right now. And I basically need to win the lottery to not end up homeless in about a month. Not good.
Hey, I got my internet back. And I also finished my MFA program. Win-win.
Last night, I should have been killed in a car accident. I should have flipped over a guardrail and ended up dead. I saw it coming as I spun helplessly after being rammed on the highway by a semi. Instead, both I and my car somehow emerged without a scratch.
I can only ascribe this to an act of God.

glad you are okay. fuck.
subrosa:
Wow. Very happy you're alright. Thank goodness.
Well shit, now my marriage to a blowup doll who I traded for a coke addict on "Wife Swap" and later divorced while she was dying in the hospital so I could marry a my cousin solely for the sake of producing a creepy kid who can play "Dueling Banjos" and lure in unsuspecting tourists to a robbery and/or sodomy means absolutely nothing because Maryland...

New title for me: failed author in training.
So let's see, the Colts suck, my job is still royally fucking me (but at least they're using lube now!), I still haven't made any progress on the literary front (though at least I have the excuse of being too busy writing the pieces required of my last year in grad school), I'm having still more money...

I enjoyed seeing ya, even though I was pretty uh, tied up? - most the time! next time hopefully we will get to hang a bit more...
desdmonia:
yes, it was an insanely awesome madhouse!!
As of today, I receive $79/month in food stamps. I'm now officially one step closer to being white trash.

Keep your head up. No one said being a writer is easy. Your break will come. Look at the woman who wrote the Harry Potter novels...
Everyone knows that Republicans are all against government assistance, thinking that Americans should do things for themselves. So why are they so hell-bent against letting Iraqis and Afghans do things for themselves and so insistent that our government's forces remain in their countries? Oh my God, you know what this means? REPUBLICANS ARE CREATING A WELFARE STATE IN THE MIDDLE EAST! SOMEBODY CALL FOX NEWS!...

Silly man, the Republican's are simply providing corporate security to multinationals doing business in Iraq and Afghanistan so that they can successfully rob those countries and enrich the shareholders (who are guess who), but you know this already. The CEO of Fox news is a shareholder, too, as are every member of the board of directors. So fair and balanced, no?
wsoxfan:
I'm so sick of the hypocricy by both parties. I can't believe I wasted so much time and energy arguing with people about politics. It's not like anyone's going to change anybody's mind anyway.
Last night, I made a $5 bet that I'd be famous in five years. At the pub I went to, I noticed several people had left American dollar bills with their names written on them in marker and posted it to the wall. All I had on me was a five, so I signed my name, the date, then added "Future famous author (five years)."...

I would be glad to see it happen. Make it happen naturally, not by chopping off an ear and mailing it to someone. Oh yeah, send me an autographed copy of your first novel...
wsoxfan:
I'd like a piece of your bet. I have faith in you.
So yeah, I'm in Dublin now for a few days; did I not mention anything about that earlier?
wsoxfan:
I don't think so. Regardless, have a great time.
