another narcissitic exercise ;)

Heather and I had a great conversation talking about livejournal and narcissism....actually it included more laughing than talking..I told her I was going to post the conversation, but...no. I would transcribe it here if 1) I remembered it word for word, but I don't.2) If it would be as funny in text as it was in conversation. Probably not considering you can't really type in certain tones of voices. ;)

I finally applied for my Irish SS number! This will bring the total to three: American, British and Irish. v cool. I'm in a pretty good mood: Ruby Wax was on v Graham Norton (hehe), Jen managed to get on the same flight as me from London-Dublin (yay!), I just got a magazine with Blondie & Kylie on it for free and in the break room the Belgium sector of AI left us the most delicious biscuits/cookies ever. They taste exactly like the Norwegian biscuits/cookies that my mom used to make for me all the time. <33333 soo good. It's the little things in life that excite me. :)

I've been phoning up magazines on behalf of me and Amnesty International, seeing if they want any articles about mental health, eating disorders, etc etc, written by yours truly...so far the women's magazines have been the bitchiest (one lady told me "we don't deal with serious issues! We're only interested in celebrities and beauty!" okay.) The nicest have been the Gay lifestyle magazines, who seem very interested to include articles other than "How to live like Posh&Becks in a week!" and "How to get lips like Kylie!" and....blah blah blah...

I hope I get to be a contributor in an Irish magazine. That'd be really cool. I'd defintely buy it ;) I'd love to go home for Christmas to my midwestern conversative extended family, pop open a gay magazine and say "Look what I wrote!" and watch the reactions. hehe..
