So much love for all you give Heather. Best marketing email EVER.

I already subscribe but may use that 20% for a couple gift subscriptions.

Agree with Rocketgrrrl. Also every other marketing e-mail I receive (besides maybe from my fav tea shop) sucks hardcore by comparison.

There is an excruciating Bellevue doc i saw on HBO once with this guy who would periodically go off his meds and he’d repeat that ad nauseum. “Nothing works here. The medications don’t work. I hate this place. I been here for 7 years. Nothing works here.” I love this man and feel a deep fellowship with him. Sure wish that did HIM any good.

I tried to bring you one of those gross little offerings gory sympathy & interspecies affection, such as a mangled bird body laid at the foot of yr bed with care by yr devoted domestic feline, but as I approached like 800 words I watched my own mind cycle thru "wha happened to the lilah who hadn't posted a comment since her 13yo 1997 anti-social.com bbs handle 'ReaganYouth' where she precociously dismantled basment dwelling adults' attachments to anarchism?" Followed by, "am I wearing a white dress at another woman's wedding?"

At which point I remembered how I am a sausage stuffed with nonsense.

I never imagined I'd ever be anything other than A Writer until I in fact became one & within a couple months I was a carpenter because omfg hubris. Swear on my aunt sally, mine has the face of Jerry Lewis, fucking matchless. What an endless, spiralling life of humiliating hells that woulda been, no?

What is embarrassment, anyways.
