I quite enjoy flirting like a schoolgirl with women older than me
THAT’S MY FAVORITE THING TO DO
she’s really great so I’m going to let her read my copies. that’s why I got them. TO SHARE THEM WITH EVERYONE
Anna guess what???!! I got to recommend Graceling to someone who’d never read it!!!!!!
“quick, I need a smuggler/rogue-sounding name. let’s use my favorite method: pick a fun three-letter word and add a syllable to make it sound like a full name so I can use the three-letter word as their nickname. Ram. Ram…mon. Rammon! searching…searching…no results. sweet. okay, now s/he needs a last name. look around the room. floppy disk. floppydisk. take out some letters. floydisk. no…flisk. Flisk! searching…searching…no results except for a weeny teeny parish in Scotland. 3.4 miles. comes from some word meaning rod. Rammon Flisk! Rammon Flisk.”
Interviewer: do you have any regrets?
Me: one time I signed a petition on change.org and now they won’t stop emailing me
aaaand in fine Monday form, we kick off today’s meeting with my boss saying, “start with the pot principles.”
