So, thanks to a last minute (Dec 31) email from LCRW (informing me that they are, in fact, buying an actual story from actual me, woo and hoo!!!), 2005 did not completely suck. It now has a 99.9% suck rating.

The holidays are thankfully over. We put the finally piece of family on the plane today at 2pm. Thanks to Consumermas and all the whos in whoville, my heart shrank 3 sizes this year.

Also, to all those who overheard me grumbling, “who do I have to fuck to get a story published?” It wasn’t Gavin and/or Kelly. Really. As far as I know, they’re both still virgins.
