re: things like this i often wonder about how much is true self-reflection and how much is just self-involvement

This is a very good point, and I think I was being a little disingenuous when I said I ponder "how I could change." I should have said when people direct cheap insults or unfair criticisms at me, I invest a lot of energy in explaining, incessantly, why what they said was untrue or unfair, in the hopes of either exonerating myself in their eyes or, at the very least, ascertaining their motivations, since a lot of times I'm just plain confused by their ire. Kenan correctly reads this as stubbornness, but it's hard for me to take that kind of thing lying down: if I keep talking and trying to explain myself, there's the possibility that things can be smoothed over. And even if it's not, I can at least get the other person to understand me better, because it drives me crazy that they don't. (This is probably self-involvement, yes.)

(This is probably self-involvement, yes.)

understatement of the new millennium

I don't date dog people. I honestly don't. If you have a dog, you're out. It's not like some rule I wrote down, I just kind of naturally lose interest, like you just told me you have a 6-year-old boy.

Dog owners breathe a collective sigh of relief.

parents of young boys breathe a collective sigh of relief

It's not like some rule that I wrote down, it's just some rule that I have.

:-| = working reunions weekend at your college right after breaking up with the girl youve been dating all through college and had expected to date for much longer and interacting w/ a ton of people who met at yr college and got married and feeling totally reverse-nostalgiac and anxious about/excited for the future and realizing you need to take better care of your health and really value yr friends and those nights when youre like "ugh im depressed im probably just going to smoke some pot and watch tron and altered states and make some frozen french bread pizzza" are probably better spent out interacting w/ other human beings and taking advantage of your freedom and you know what this is actually the last summer you have (like REAL summer) and so youre sorta drunk on booze obtained w/ stolen drink tickets and you go to the dj booth at the radio station where you work (because you cant go to the break room since your ex-girlfriend is there) and turn on yr last.fm station and fucking PLAINSONG starts and you dont even really listen to the cure and youre just all like :-|

JT Leroy is no joke perpetrated by anyone, he's BRILLIANT. And does make the occasional appearance. The only thing about the whole phenomenon that sucks is Ms C Love is angling to play the mum in the film of Sarah.

Dude please, 2001? The book *had* just come out, I liked the writing, and yeah I have an old Cooper connection. BFD.

It could be a lot worse. One could be my former editor, who thought she was participating in phone conversations with JTL!

this type of hoax is enabled and perpetuated by the type of person who is "in the know"--the type of person who pretends to know something when they just know someone (or know someone who knows someone, etc.) who has told them that they know something
