and better things come to those who don't.
Unfortunately, you're all just going to have to, since I'm only about a quarter done with my latest foray into the disturbing depths of my subconscious. Eventually I expect my subconscious will rebel, and my roommate will come home from work one day and find me sprawled out on the kitchen floor naked and spooning a life-size Lucille Ball blow-up doll. Which is not much different from how he usually finds me.
Until then, though, I'll keep plugging away, and because nothing in life is free unless you're a kleptomaniac, each of you can tell ten friends about my website. I'm particularly partial to any friends with connections to the publishing world. And to answer your next question, no, I'm not ashamed to be so blatantly self-serving. If I was, you all wouldn't be here in the first place. "Because I have no shame" is not just a slogan -- it's a way of life.

20 people with too much time on their hands:
After my first visit here, I immediately emailed two good friends--non-bloggers--and told them to hie their reading eyes right over.
Eight more friends to go, then, right?
Citizen said your blog is a great read. You know what? She's right! Congrats on the award and I'll be back if that's OK? :)
I don't think I HAVE ten friends, but I'll do my best! I just got some of David Sedaris' books and he is AWESOME! I wish I could write like that...I mean...WOW. I eradicated my blog again (Move along. Nothing to see here.) so the link will no longer work. I await your next offering with bated breath and am going through my e-mail list for people to send over.
Incidentally, still waiting on that $1200 for the destroyed laptop from the coffee spew the first time I read your blog. The check must have got lost in the mail.
I don't know 10 people, much less have 10 friends - so no help here.
I am nothing, if not patient. just don't totally forget about us.
Damn, I'm loving this blog - I'm here from Citizen too.
Wasn't it Shakespeare who wrote: The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers?
I'd want to get out too.
came by way of akelamalu's
i was just about to say that of course you are self serving...you're a lawyer! LOL just kidding :P~~
i used to work in a law office....wooo, the ego of that one!
sorry, i don't have any publishing friends. can i still come back anyways? ;-)
I will if you'll nominate me for the Black Weblog awards.
Quid Pro Quo lawyer boy ;)
You are shameless and fabulous as well! Such a great read!! I know no one in the publishing world, so feel free to shun me. If I did though I would be sure to send them your way!!
Your post was funny but not as funny as my friend's reaction, who just spent 3 days taking the California bar. I believe you've shattered her world and she has respectfully requested that all your commenters go shit in a hat!
If the preceeding comment was inappropriate, then consider me shameless as well. Much love. I would totally hook you up with a publisher if I knew one, but I may have an idea to share. Email me!
You are on my side-bar, so you might be noticed. I dont know anyone in the publishing world now either.
I did better than that, without even knowing the request. And I see some of them have already stopped by to comment! Man, I'm good.
I have my work cut out for me today!
Jocelyn -- I should have specified, they don't have to be friends, I'm ok with enemies too, as long as they have connections and money.
Akelamalu -- welcome! Yes please return often, or at least as often as I post, which actually is not that often. Sigh.
Karen -- Why did you self-eradicate? Although I must confess I don't remember the exact contents, I promise that I only surround myself with people (and bloggers) with whom I would be proud to be associated -- and who are, in fact, simply better people than myself :) Oh, and you'll be waiting for a looooooong time.
Bob -- don't have 10 friends? Again, I don't believe it. I'm getting the sense that my readers are quite self-deprecating. Like attracts like, I suppose.
Jazz -- thanks for visiting too! And from Shakespeare's lips to God's ears.
Ciara -- of course you can come back, and preferably often!
G -- I don't speak Latin. But I'll do my best :)
Reliv -- glad to have you here also! And have you thought about a career change? I hear the publishing industry is hiring! :)
Red -- your friend sounds like she will be a kickass lawyer. Ah, I remember the first time I told someone to go shit in a hat. Unfortunately it was a federal judge. And I will definitely email you!
Meggie -- just your presence is enough for me :) And thanks for the shout-out on your sidebar :)
Citizen -- Indeed, you have, and indeed, you are.
Ah Jonah (if I may be so bold), I self-eradicated because the blog was turning into a whine-fest, and not a funny one either. It was totally embarrassing. Like there aren't enough boring whining crybabies in this world yet? Now, if I was a funny whining crybaby, I would've kept it up! I'm seriously honored that you felt my blog was good enough to hang with yours...I'm tearing up over here...I love this blog. Thanks man!
Here's the deal, Jonah. If you have time to respond to all these comments, you could have finished the damn story already, nu?
I will wait, but not patiently.
I'm a hermit - but hey, maybe I'll hit up some complete strangers. Humour is contagious and I like your blog ;)
Karen -- in answer to your question, "Like there aren't enough boring whining crybabies in this world yet?" I reply, no. I wish there were more. I hate that there aren't more. It's so horrible. My life is horrible because there aren't more boring whining crybabies in the world. Feel bad for me. MEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeee.
Heart -- I'm working away, don't worry. Also, I liked the use of "nu," and your attempts at Jewish guilt. They remind me why I write in the first place.
TS -- go forth and spread a little sunshine :) It's good karma!
Good things come to those who wait
.... and wait, and wait and wait..
Oh, and while we're waiting, you have an award waiting too. At my blog.
Thanks Jazz! All these awards are going to go to my head! You all need to stop being so gracious with your praise, as it's making me less of a misanthrope :)
So my stopping by isn't enough. It's always about your needs. You, you, you.
