Want to know how I became what I am today?

[JC]

Blessed with above average intelligence and the enviable position of second trombone in high school band, I used my grunge Courtney Love good looks to propel me from my home town to a rocking liberal arts school thirty miles away. Years of a steady diet including alcohol, egotism, and recreational pharmaceuticals aided my creative mind, and I considered myself quite the dark poet. To emphasize this, I went through the transformation from Courtney Love to Trent Reznor, and adopted an attire consisting primarily of black flowing skirts and metal studs.

After graduation, I joined the "real world" for several years, only to find it didn't suit. Shortly after, I rejoined the lemmings of liberal arts, hoping to find enlightenment in a dusty tome.

All during this time, I believed that a higher power would lift me up and prove to the world how wonderful a writer I really am; despite repeated letters to Santa Claus, however, I remain unemployed and living in my parent's basement.

And that is the story of how I became what I am today.

Okay.

Nice. Clean writing, political edge, tormented protag, good hook, no overwriting. What's not to love?

"Want to know how I became what I am today?"

Uh. . . no.

;-)

Actually, I like it a lot.

Clean, crisp with a twist at the end, and very much to the point - which I am a fan of.

Good prose.

Say it isn't so, JC...I mean really! ;-D

[JC]

Okay, okay. I admit that I don't live in my parent's basement. That was part of my poetic license.

So what do you think? Given my qualifications, surely I could be the national poet of America.

Okay, Shirley, but are we having any fun, yet? ;-D

JC - I think you are the national poet of America - Aren't you?
