Sometimes I send my friend Kyle really ridiculous text messages, in part because I know that his response is usually of amusement, and never of judgmental cynicism.
So today I sent him this:
So who is dumb and agreed to work on Sunday when she was planning to go to the book festival? Me! Also...I'm toying with the idea of restarting my classic lit project with a blog about it and about the places I read in Austin. I have a new obsession with becoming a legit blogger.
And then:
Thought it would probably still feature photos of my dog...
I need a social life.
And finally:
I'm being pitched for a full time position at a nonprofit involving books!
Okay, so to clarify a few things:
1) The Texas Book Festival is tomorrow and Sunday here in Austin. I'll be there tomorrow morning for a couple of hours before work. I'm super excited. I love booksy people.
2) I'm serious about the blog. But I need a name for it. Something catchy, not too obscure, the more it makes me laugh, the better. Help me, please. I'm terrible at this. My future children are likely to remain nameless for a large portion of time following their births because I can't choose names. It feels too much like choosing an identity. And they're stuck with it. FOREVER.
3) For realsies on the job thing. This was a while after the other two texts. It's a temp-to-hire position, and though I can't say much right now, I'll share more as things become set in stone (so excited).
