Adults often threw around the word "precocious" when I was younger.
In 5th grade I was sent to the office for the only time in my school career because I wouldn't stop talking to Robbie Bailey during math, because I had to make him understand why his parents were wrong for voting for Bush Sr and how if they just listened to Dukakis', they'd see...

i just noticed that the flags around here are not at half staff for Ann, but they were for Nellie Connally, what's up with that? Ann was a great lady indeed.
toothpickmoe:
Ha! That would be hilarious. Richard's Roadhouse perhaps?
Our office is having a "talent" show. yes, the quotes are there on purpose.
So, people there know I do slam poetry.
And I get an email today from my former manager saying:
"I've entered your name so you can do one of your poems!"
uhh..
wow...
now to find a poem that doesn't have the word "fuck" in it. One that isn't TOO political...

So, I was telling my friend, Big Poppa E about my story project and he is excited as can be and we now have an idea to turn it into a monthly open mic type thing, where people would sign up to tell 3-10 minute stories on a theme. Like a live, impromptu This American Life.

My sense of adventure is trapped under a Chinatown bus.
So, I have a pretty awesome idea for a mix.
I want everyone to send me there theme song. or a song that represents them.
Then I'll make a mix of said songs and send them out to everyone (or hand deliver them next time I see ya if you are local).
Interested?
send me your song at blue.val@gmail.com

YAYAYAY! I'm so excited to get to see you, Pookie-Pants!
gitmach:
sounds like a great idea, I look forward to seeing the final listing.
So, I have this new project in mind. I want to start doing a weekly podcast of people's 3-10 minute stories in their own voice. Sorta like This American Life but shorter. And without the good production values...
If anyone is interested in participating, let me know.

Well, my story did not get published.
it was a bit about the fact that Austin is host to the 17th annual National Poetry Slam.
day 2 of bouts was tonight.
We have won both our bouts
We are the best ever*
*right after the other 9 teams out of 75 with higher overall scores than us. But we still rule the school

So, last night I got to host the Tom Waits hoot night at Trophys . I really do think I did a pretty awesome job.
I wasnt sure what sort of crowd we would draw if we would have one at all, but half an hour before the first act went on, the place was packed.

Hi Ms. Valentine,
First off, congratulations on the adoption. It sounds like you have far too much to look forward to than to let the past hold you down. Adopting is one of the nicest things someonce can ever do. Good luck!
Secondly, you will note I applied for membership to the exclusive The Dead Vagina Club. Why? Because Bostonbootgirl is very happy that I not only love the vag in general, I truly do love hers.
Thanks!
