PSA (For the Ladies)

[snurri]

I have decided that I can boil my criteria for the woman who will tame this wild heart (stop laughing) down to one requirement. So that y'all know what to shoot for.*

She must be AWESOME.

You may now return to boring me. (Seriously, what is with the Intranets today?!?)

BEAN!

Mm, Irish whisky yes, but mostly bourbon. 'Cuz in my other pants I am William Faulkner.

(Dorky about books = AWESOME, of course. I am asking you about the time you accosted John Wesley Harding!)

[bibliogrrl.livejournal.com]

See, I've never done the bourbon, mostly because I'm all about the Jamison. Ask infanttyrone. Actually, don't. He knows my shame.

He also knows where I keep my tequila. But since he doesn't like it much, he doesn't ask me to share. Which is part of why i like tequila. I never have to share, since everyone fears it so. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I keep the tequila in the open, but always hide the whiskey.

(actually, I never hid the whiskey from infanttyrone. He is an awesome roommate and I never have to worry about him depleting my stash. ANYWAY)

(I was coming back from lunch, and I saw a tall, good looking gentleman coming into the Borders I used to work at. I totally did a double take, and sure enough, it was him... totally beelining for where Misfortune was shelved. I beat him there, and started babbling about how much I loved the book and how I've been a fan since, oh, the 80's. He looked at me funny, but was very gracious, especially since I had just made the book my staff pick. I'm sure he doesn't get accosted much. I mean, HE IS AWESOME AND BRITISH AND HAWT, but still.

I sometimes miss working in a bookstore, but then I remember how much I used to hate my life and want to die. I like working for a publisher MUCH MUCH MORE. I miss the free books from ALLLLLLL publishers though. *sigh*)

Tequila: it clears the sinuses!

I'm sure that Mr. Harding was pleased, if initially bemused.

What publisher do you work for nowadays?

[bibliogrrl.livejournal.com]

Tequila, it pickles the brain! (I figure it also keeps it intact for posterity!) (I got a bottle of Patron for x-mess, I have yet to crack the seal...mmmmm)

I miss meeting authors. Coolest? Er. Hmm. Probably him. I also got to meet William Gibson. That was freaking amazing.

I am an accounting associate (more fun than it sounds) at IPG/CRP/Trafalgar Square. I LOVE MY JOB. (anywhere that will let me come to work in chucks, jeans, an alkaline trio hoodie, with all of my tattoos... AWESOME. i am also not even the weirdest or most tattooed one here. yay!)

Ooh, you met Gibson? Cooool. I've become a bit jaded and there aren't a lot of authors I'd get fanboyish over, but he's one.

Sounds like a cool job!

Y'know, sometime we should get some drinks, me and you and infanttyrone. ACTUAL REAL-LIFE INTERACTION.

[bibliogrrl.livejournal.com]

That would be sweet.

The trick is to get him sitting still long enough for a drink. Dude is the hardest working man EVAR. Seriously.

and Gibson? Just as weird as you would imagine.

I would get all week kneed over: Jeff Noon, Cory Doctorow, Amy Hempel.

I DID get all idiotic when I interviewed Grant Morrison. Holy shit. I think I'll be internet famous forever for that one. But OH MY GOD HE WAS SO COOOL. And so, so SO Scottish. I couldn't understand a fucking word he said.

WAIT YOU INTERVIEWED GRANT MORRISON LINK LINK LINK LINK - - !

Mine: Vonnegut, Tim Powers, Gibson--? That might be it.

*sigh*

I used to be an editor for a comic book webzine, way back in the day.

go google me.

Oh, screw it. here you go.

Heh. Sorry for geeking out on ya, there.

Something for me to read tonight!

[bibliogrrl.livejournal.com]

You wanna see geeking out, you should have seen it when I met him. Holy cripe. That was bad. Oh, that was BAD.

I am NOTHING if not AMAZING at making an ass out of myself. Awesomeness nonwithstanding.

[bibliogrrl.livejournal.com]

(I actually had to go search for the link. I haven't even LOOKED at the interview in so long. I so DO NOT MISS EDITING AT ALL. I do miss comics, though)
