Each year I get cockier and more obnoxious. I also get braver and willing to do embarrassing things to have fun. You're coming to a realization I wish I had reached a long time ago.

And when I do, it seems I'm left kicking myself. =P She does know. The question is whether she'll tell me. She knows enough about my competitive nature to possibly want to keep information from me "for my own good." *harrumph* We shall see. Nothing is wrong with an anthology, of course! However, I wouldn't be surprised and/or interested if Andrew were published in one, hence why I tuned out. An 18-year-old publishing a whole novel (or whatever it is), though, gets my attention. You bet I appreciate anthologies, since they're my only hope for seeing my poetry published seriously within the next few years. And anthologies of stories are also awesome, naturally.

Swearing is cool. :-) I have mixed feelings about it. I just hate that some people are offended by it. You know, the worst part, for me, is that it’s MY REACTION that kills me, LOL!

I didn't think writers were allowed to stop eavesdropping! LOL! What about your English teacher? Can you email her? I bet she'd know! PS: I'd totally be jealous, too.

I'm sort of like Arthur Fonzarelli. Just like he stumbles over the world "sorry", I find it impossible to say "humble" in mixed company. Actually, I even have trouble writing the thing. You may not realize it, but I have to type the word in two parts. First, I write the "HUM" and then come back later and do "BLE", it's the only way I can handle it. Yeah, I don’t do humble.
