Confessions

Posted on | September 1, 2010 | 1 Comment

• I never eat bread crust from sandwich bread. I don’t think I obsessed over this when I was a kid, but I remember being hungry back then. Now I’m fat, so I guess I can be picky?
• You will probably annoy me if I am behind you while I’m in my car. You will be driving too slow. You will impede my racing forward motion. You annoy me. But I love you when we walk down the street. And I always brake for pedestrians.
• I’ve cried and lied to get out of speeding tickets.
• I hate being surprised. Don’t do it.
• I am a master procrastinator, and work best while under pressure. I’m also a liar. That never really works, especially when it comes to my writing, but I almost always wait until the last minute. I’m trying to get better about that. At least I sketch my chapters now.
• While I would like it to be different, I’m an inconsistent friend. If shit is really going down, I will go to the mat for you. But I need positivity, hope from my friends. I think it is because (especially recently for some reason) I’m so plagued with darkness sometimes.
• I will see my birthdaughter for the first time in 8 years on Friday and I’m fucking terrified. I’m older. Fatter. I’m not as spunky and cool as I used to be, and I’m trying to figure out why the opinion of a 16 year old matters so much. Oh, yeah, cause I love the kid. I don’t know how this whole thing is going to go… interesting? Maybe?
• I miss my long hair.
• I like that I laugh loud. I really do like that about myself. My laugh makes people stop talking and turn to see what’s so funny. It gets your attention. I think happiness deserves more attention.
• I have books on my bookshelf for show.
• I would rather read something on my iPad than in book form. I’m a convert, and there’s no going back. Besides… not moving 1938937 boxes of books = awesome.
• I love my crit partners, like lurrrve them. They are amazing women with grace and patience and snark and wisdom and I really hope when we take over the world that people will appreciate them as much as I do.
• I got 2 hours of sleep last night. Hence, the odd tone.
