He just writes about Portland. And totally swipes everyone else’s stories and then weaves a weak plot for a story around them to hide the fact that its really a collection of retellings of other people’s stories.

On the plus side though Choke just got made into a movie and they picked Sam Rockwell to play the lead, which is inspired casting.

Besides, I’m not a Portlander either. Why should I be expected to know a Portlander who isn’t even a Portlander?

Especially when he’s not that cute, really. ;)

Seriously, he’s not a Portlander? I thought he was.

I don’t know why I should be expected to know him. He’s not even a Portlander. Though I have seen the movie version of Fight Club… my ex-husband made me watch it.

I don’t drive a blue car anymore to my death-related job, but I have had two different blue cars in the past. Now I have a red car.

Read the script, Mig! ;)

Is this one of those people I would know if I were twenty years older than I am?

I seem to be running into that a lot lately…

I like being here, and I’m not afraid of not being here any longer, but what gets me is the old age part of it. I also worked in assisted living for the elderly, dealing with people who were no longer capable of using the bathroom on their own and people who thought they were at the bus stop waiting for the bus… all the time. I fear that, but I suppose I shouldn’t, because by the time that hits I won’t know about it anymore.

Weirdest death-related story I’ve got… my brother and I picked up a dead lady to transfer from the funeral home to the crematory and when we got to the funeral home we noticed she had a remote control sitting on her chest. We’re like, “What the heck?!” so we called our boss to ask him what was up with the remote control and he said, “Oh, that goes with her.”

“Why?” we asked. He had no idea.

So on the way to the crematory, we developed some interesting theories, my favorite of which was that she had cleverly devised a way to make sure her husband never ever got hold of the remote control ever again.

I have lots of good stories like these. :)

And I can relate to your Gamma conversation. Upon finding out that I speak fluent Spanish, Mexicans often assume that I also am capable of comprehending it at roughly 3,000,000 miles per hour. This is a mistaken assumption, as I can only comprehend at 500 mph, tops. :)

Not that I know anything about it, really, but it helps me delude myself that bigger things are possible. It is this.

Just because you’re not published, doesn’t mean your writing is no good. It means you don’t have the right publisher. Yet.

I love to read your writing. Good luck.

People are reluctant to discuss death.
