I have a theory...

That nobody uses the word "ornery" outside of Utah. I don't even think they know what it means, that's how often they use it out here in not-Utah. I doubt I ever heard it before going to BYU. Maybe I'm just uneducated... but I don't think so, because I've always been a sort of vocabulary-nerd.
I hate that word. Ornery. Just awful.

Actual moment:

"I like you better with your hair down." -John, from my writers' workshop.
Having seen my all weekend with my strait hair down, I think his delicate sensibilities were offended by my up-done curly hair on Wed.
Later, he clarified, (because I didn't already get it), "You know, you look okay, it's just that you were smokin' this weekend..." Thanks, buddy.

I am hoping this is an optical illusion...

Is it just me or is that the skinniest alive person you have ever seen? What is that, an 8-inch waist?

Kate Bosworth, I am totally sending you a Chipotle gift card. Go ahead, order a burrito. And don't skip the sour cream.

What's with all these muppet-flus, anyway?

Bird-flu. Swine-flu. C'mon!

Thanks!

For following me already, my fab friends!!

Book Pitch

I pitched my book, "The Anticool," to this awesome agent on Saturday. I went in there sooooo terrified, but he was really easy to talk to, and his jovial personality made me much more relaxed. He laughs a lot, and as my favorite thing to do is make people laugh, it was a great interview. All the laughing was perhaps contrasted with the conversation about my book, which is definitely dark, and in which everyone pretty much dies. So, we had two really happy, humorous people laughing one minute, and looking very serious and sad the next. It was pretty awesome. One of those life moments.
Anyway, he asked me to send the book over to him, which, of course, was my goal, so I am really happy. "The Anticool" may be a little heavier than what he usually takes on, but hopefully he will like the writing well enough to try it!
I am also starting a new blog about my writing. So that agents, or anyone interested in my writing have a place to check it out online... It is a work in progress, and the above paragraph is pretty much exact over there, too, but I am going to try to beef it up here this week with a resume, synopsis of "The Anticool," and more writery stuff.

Hey, you guys!

So, look over there, to the right... Higher... higher... See that little section of "followers?" Yep. I have two. TWO. I know, I have been a lazy blogger. But I promise to do better. Will you click "follow" for me? It will make me feel all warm and fuzzy and whatnot. Because if I'm not popular, I'm nothing ;) JK. But, really, follow my blog, eh?

What is it about Transitions Lenses that makes people look like child-molesters?
