Oh, wait. How'd that happen? That wasn't the... Okay, nvm, let me try again.
For Robin, though of course all can enjoy:
That taken care of, I thought I'd share some VERBATIM QUOTES from our retreat, so that all may learn and grow and spread your little wings as writers and humans, just as *we* all did.
+clears throat+
"Wouldn't it be great if our writing careers were like Choose Your Own Adventure books, so that we could flip through different career choices and see which one we die in? And then not choose that one?"
“For God's sake, just take it OFF.” (Context: Hot conference room in Florida.)
"If you want more readers, f*** your literary self. Give up some of what you love. Plot better. Learn more technique."
"Should you attempt to trade good for fantastic?"
"I’m not willing to put my trust in the 'perfect editor/writer' relationship because I don’t trust the publishing industry." Pause. "Or people."
"I will find the paper. I will make the form. I will find a copier. I will copy the form."
"Barry, you need to put pre-recorded mantras for each client on your answering machine. Oh, and pre-recorded messages for all our needs, like 'Press one for weepy anxiety attack' or 'Press two for "I need money" attack.'”
"I kiss my dog. So?"
"Neil Gaiman invented Lunchables?!"
And then it was off for more pool time. Cheerio!
P.S. Would somebody PLEASE go back to my previous entry and comment on Barry dancing with Hot Jesus? I was quite proud of myself for that one...

looking back, not having enough money for lunchables for paper bags shouldn't have been a big deal, but back then, it was everything.
but i still love a lunchable now and then (with the cherry capri sun!).
I find Lunchables nasty, though my seven-year-old and nine-year-old adore them.
I hope we can continue to be friends. ;)
I am not getting you on my friends list, even though we are friends, I dunno why.
but still!
I comment!
and you?
do you fulfill your part of the bargain?
I THINK NOT.
I think Lauren's part of the bargain is not fulfilled, and that this lifetime membership business is leading her to take her responsibilities for granted!

Perhaps the gov't has interfered.
Or a turtle. Maybe a turtle mixed up our friend lists...
And REALLY, really glad you didn't attribute them.

But yeah, he's a legend. :)
I guess the man who invented Lunchables must be a legend.
