I'm so excited! I just got interviewed by a real reporter for my University's newspaper, The Acorn. I got asked all sorts of questions about my writing and was majorly inarticulate. Well, I think I got my point across. I kept getting asked, why did you pick The Transparent Dinner as a title? and all I could say was, cause it's like my poems are about a dinner? That's transparent? Transparent like glass. Um, it's a metaphor you can see through. It's a meal made of glass. It's... it's... it's about meals whose motivations you can see through, like a person whose motivations are transparent?
Oh. God.
Anyway, I have the photoshoot tomorrow. Let's hope that goes a little better.

I love valley-girl speak. I say like ALL OF THE TIME when I get nervous and/or tongue tied.
Congrats on the interview -- how exciting!
Woo-hoo!
Amanda -- thanks! Yes, I grew up quite near the valley. I have been known to say "gag me" more than once.
Michael -- yee-ha!
Resurgere -- nice to meet you. I don't title any of my posts, ever... I like your blog.
Congratulations on the interview!
I sound like such a dumbass the second I talk about my poetry with someone who isn't a poet.
