Admit something you are afraid people will laugh about. (And maybe they will.)

Admission: I got hooked on World of Warcraft when my son started playing. Spent too much hours that shoud have been used learning to write. The time clock ticks.

Not so well surprisingly. American Psycho has ruined me. I can't help but tell someone that rum mixes better with diet Pepsi instead of diet coke because it's less fizzy.

I knew that'd get a laugh. I've also read Jaclyn Reding, a romance novelist. But in my defense, she's my ex-girlfriend's cousin. On the up side though, she's read my work and told me I'm a great writer. She's written about twenty books. Sold enough to make writing a career and to own a villa in Italy.

I had a crush on my high school AP English teacher who told me I was a better writer than him. He was sixty-one and married to a woman in her thirties or forties whom he had taught in the same class decades earlier. He went to the hospital and I cried.

I've done all of this but shave my balls as well. Not that I don't have them.

(I don't, but I like to pretend I do. Sometimes I tell people I have a penis, too.)

I don't actually have a penis it's more like a clitoropenis and it rests on a nest of tentacles wedged between my hips. I mean not really but it's pretty heinous and smells like liquid smoke. Why soooo serious?

That's what I've heard. I haven't seen the movie. I always try to read the book before seeing the movie.

I actually prefer to see movies before reading the book. If I liked the book then I would just be pissed about the stuff not in the movie, if I enjoyed the movie then I will find lots of interesting side stuff in the book. How this doesn't work: going from Dexter tv series to the Dexter books. That's been the worst one so far.

 

This morning I enjoyed a favorite pasttime of mine, watching old episodes of The Biggest Loser and eating shitloads of junk food (this time cookies and milk, bag of chips (family size.)) Also, I cried.

I agree Matt. I was very disappointed in Dexter. I couldn't finish the first book. And Forest Gump was the same. The mOvie is way better.

Uh...

Occasionally, I eat whole bags of chips throughout the course of a day.  When I have important meetings, I wear tight blouses.  Sometimes if I'm tired, I skip pages in the bedtime stories I read my kid.  I have more shoes than Dave. 

 

Was any of that laughable or shameful?

Tight blouses? I should be the judge of that

Until you met me. My parents work at Disney and I used to go there just about 2-3 times a month. 

No, honestly that has nothing to do with the movies. I just no the more recent ones. Nothing of the old ones.
