That was something I got from my bulk mail folder and I find it very pretty, for some reason. One comes across the weirdest things. What’s even weirder is that, sometimes, it’s enough to make someone’s day. Thank you Manuela Baker, whoever you are. May you be able to “grow more inches… guaranteed!” and “pay your home loan as soon as possible.”

I’m writing an article for our org zine and I’m getting very excited about the ending so I’m writing here, instead. That happens to me a lot. I get excited about the possible ending that I end up leaving my work for a few minutes to contain myself. I’m sure the article isn’t anything special but due to my innate conceit, I think everything that I write is special.

(I was going to write something clever about being excited about my thesis but have decided it’s going to come across as a complete flop in writing so the thought’s staying in my head where it’s funnier)

So I was going to tell you what got me excited. It was the fact that I was able to, without batting an eyelash, relate Friendster to a quote from “Empire Writes Back.” Thrilling! It was almost nonchalant, the way I stretched my right arm to get the handout, locate the passage and incorporate it into the article. I am the bee’s knees. I am the shit.

Okay that’s enough. The article could turn out to be a complete flop and it’s just sad when an article’s only fan is the writer herself.

EDIT: I had two friends of mine read the article. They said it was okay. I don't like "okay." Sucks. Very bad with criticism, here. How am I going to handle workshops?
