I'm peeing here, and not in the "for the other person" way. I also have a nonstop free-association going on in my head, even when. I cannot stop seeing my life in the third-person.

Hilarious.

2012-05-31T06:02:22.428+08:00

Fuck me. That was easily the best thing I've read this month. I really needed that. The image of a handjob walking blithely down the beach is better than vicodin for what ails ya.

Ha! That is an awesome list!

Ha! That is an awesome list!

I missed this when you first published. I don't know how I missed it but I did. And that makes me ridiculously sad. I'm not quite sure why. It sounds like you're running hard - are you running from something or toward it?

Hi, Lisa, it's nice to see you here =) Ay, I can so relate to this! I don't have the word 'bored' in my vocabulary anymore. Since I've started blogging, I've missed an entire season of Grey's Anatomy (I know it's not an award-winning show or anything, but it tugs at my heartstrings and makes me cry); all those episodes are on my DVR untouched, and I'm not

I was so appreciative of the lengths of these. It made me feel like I could comprehend them a bit more. They were weird though, I'm reading about the house and then information about lives ending are sprinkled about. It made for interesting reading I guess, wondering who she'll blindside me with next.
I like what b3o3tilly says about this too.

Also, Mindy is indeed gorgeous, well at least the part of her shiny hair I can see.

Ok. I got really really intimidated and freaked the fuck out with chapter 17 and seriously lost my mojo. Like, it just overwhelmed me with it's word packed neverendingness. So finally I skipped it and skimmed these 2 chapters. My goal is to go back and read this entire book in it's entirety at some point, so I will address that chapter then. Maybe if I ever get knocked up again that&

2012-05-30T05:19:54.196+08:00

Oh jesus christ I love these. I think I have searching blocked for mine or something. I would die of paranoia if I got 22,000 clicks in a month. "THEY'RE ALL WATCHING ME."

2012-05-30T04:48:41.459+08:00

wow that was awesome. cant wait to see if you come back and flesh this out.. it's got some great characters and some sad truth, beautiful job with the prompt!

Last week, I saw that someone searched my blog with this: [Insert my full name] Crazy Bitch. I blocked them. Remind me never to look at the search terms again.

Nobody would guess you had a rough winter from that list there!

This took me three times to read through to grasp everything. Very raw, very real. This is one to definitely "flesh out"!

2012-05-28T14:31:54.605+08:00

I'm glad the 100 word challenge is back ... I always love the things you produce for it. I shall have to carve out 40 minutes of my own.

2012-05-28T11:10:06.721+08:00

Had this discussion recently - self-editing, etc. on the blog. I really like Anne Lamott as well. I would rather think that the stories she is talking about telling would be for a bigger audience than the blogosphere. Sometimes the bigger audience is ourselves.

Yeah - 100 words are never enough to tell that story. Well said, nonetheless. Thanks for sharing

2012-05-28T09:22:39.714+08:00

I need to think more on that quote. I think it's dangerous, when it comes to blogging. Self-publishing. You know? Everyone has their own story, and reality is perception, for sure. But we need to be responsible with it.

As for the rest, 100 words just wasn't enough. Thanks for your comment!!

2012-05-28T08:51:16.328+08:00

Oh, they want you to write warmly about them. But they seriously think they can achieve that if they aren't nice. I'm pretty fond of that quote. I'm pretty fond of Anne Lamott. I want to know why you hated her more. That feels like the true heart of the story.

2012-05-27T19:35:27.554+08:00

Now I know why you struggled. This kind of hate is hard to direct. You always write with craft so my review is visceral.

I fucking loved it. Whoever she was had a war to fight every day. Survival us about what's within you.

Great interp

Fuck, man.

2012-05-27T14:12:32.211+08:00

What an excellent, visual piece. I love the lines: t-shirt like a sticker and one hand so strong, like something you could depend on. She sounds tough. Good for her. Nice work.

t-shirt like a sticker...awesome. That's an evocative image. The emotional heft of how she felt is brilliant.

write on your phone more often. thumbs way up.

I love the suggestion that although she should have been ashamed, she was not, and would never be.

2012-05-26T14:25:21.208+08:00

You're nice. I was quite happy to see I had 40 minutes to crank something out. Not so happy to realize that my computer was refusing to hook up to the wifi connection at the playground.

I love the challenges, and I'm glad you're back. Maybe now I'll actually, ya know, write.
