I didn’t realize I had a cult following until I heard that some boys that I already adored could recite one of my FAVORITEST pieces, word for word.  I wrote that piece to flex a literary muscle, but it also turned out to be highly therapeutic and, apparently, pretty amusing.  That really did my ego good.

I’m penning a second installment as we speak.
But just so you know, I can’t take all of the credit for my cleverness.  I spend all day (while working feverishly) emailing back and forth between some VERY funny women.  These are some of the greatest punchlines today, although they will remain unclaimed and out of context for obvious reasons.
