5. Public relations, actually! There's waaay more money in it.

I do ad stuff, too. It is a real challenge to deliver a punchy message in just a few words. Fun. Anyone who thinks it is easy hasn't tried to do it...at least not for the review and acceptance of others.

16. I am a really, really, really great list-maker!

I have three fans!!!! It may be OCD, which I have, and to some extent it improves my life instead of marring it. Things to do, things I want to do, things to say to tell people off so I don't have to sit there and steam...
things I love
things I want to change about myself
people I shouldn't give a second thought to
reasons to admire Courtney Love and Yoko Ono
top ten movies (changes constantly)
top twenty books
best meals ever
best songs
ways to find happiness
flirty things to say
quotes from Absolutely Fabulous

my notebooks are filling up!!!
