You’ll all be happy to know that I’m approximately 4/5 of the way through the New and Improved version of my book. That’s right kids–you won’t have to pal around just with Michael the Foot Fetishist. Oh, no, you get so much more than that. Now you also get to meet the girl who microwaved her bra, one insane (yet inspirational) hitch hiker who smelled like Nothing Good and my ex-boss who was a swinger and also mean.
There are a few things I’ll confess to have struggled with (and/or be struggling with):
1) The Parentals: obviously, they say some very silly things and do some very silly things. How many of said silly things can I include before getting cut out of the will?
2) Names: I’d like to use real names in some cases (though I have changed the names of most of the Total Retards who went on dates with me and proposed while grabbing my foot and mentioning casually that they still live with their mom and want to have sixteen babies please). Again, though, in some cases I’d like to use real names. Would you want your real name used–if it were you?
3) The dialogue: I just so happen to have Tons of ridiculous quotes and conversations noted in my journals from college and New York (hoorah!), but I’ve written down much less from Denver, it would seem, which makes it harder to recreate the conversations–as I do want them to be as true-to-life as possible. Hmm. Any ideas?
