    In your interview at Alt.com, you mentioned a race play fiction you wrote. I got my hopes up, but then I saw that the piece in Rachel Bussel’s upcoming book was an essay. Is your fiction archived somewhere I could read it?
    Oh, and red print against a black background is _damnably_ hard to read! Nota bene.
    Take good care and blessed be. I wish you well.

      Howdy!

      The fiction I’ve written isn’t publicly available as of yet, but will mostl likely be an e-book (soon!) :-)

      I’m not sure what red print you are referring to?

      Thanks! :-)

    Hi Molleria.

    Your Dad and I were shipmates on CVA 59. Ask your Dad if he remembers the ” Smoker” we had aboard ship on the way to Viet Nam. I fought in that Smoker, knocking my opponent out in the second round. Also, ask your Dad about the band, and vocal group we had on that ship. They were really good!

    Peace

    RonK

      I wonder if my Father was in that band…he played the sax among other instruments and (has? Had?) a great voice :-)

    Thank you, as a fellow hater of all things mycological, for number 9. ;)

    And for the rest of the awesome snark and kink, of course.



  7. HT on February 18, 2010 at 7:47 PM

    Love your site! Your writing is a joy to read.

    Your bubble tea comment gave me my first true smile of the day (and it’s almost on 10pm).



  8. Carlos Q. on February 21, 2010 at 12:48 AM

    Thank you for this. Not only for an enjoyable read but making me realize I hadn’t thought this deeply and honestly about myself in a long time. I think it would be good to now.

    #49…

    how could you hate cleaning?!?

    i actually have a fetish about cleaning…

    i even have a slight addiction to cleaning products. it’s to the point that i should seek help from a 12 step program :)



  10. holidayin on November 27, 2010 at 2:39 PM

    I love your number #41

    “I pretend to be self-confident so that I can, occasionally, actually be so.”

    It’s the self deprecating kind of humor, that shows great confidence. There is a real honesty in your list and in your writing. We’ll all pretend to be self-confident, and smart enough to realize that it’s not always the case.

    OMG! You were such an adorable little girl.

    You didn’t mention that you make a mean sweet potato pie.
