I am seriously considering disabling comments on my posts, because I feel weird about the whole dependency I'm developing on them for my continued posting abilities' sake.
Seriously.
(In a few months, when I've never mentioned it again, and it's never been followed through in any aspect of its disablingnessishness, we'll see just how serious I was.)
I love Sarah Silverman. I have a HARD-ON for Sarah Silverman. She's brilliance tossed with a fine melange of insane and batshit crazy, for a savory palate burst with notes of honey and vomit. Really. I want to squeeze her into an eau de parfum bottle -- the fance kind, with the old-fashioned, flowery, plasticky bulb -- and spritz her onto my wrists and neck, then lick it off. She's unreal, she's so real. Iffen you don't believe me, watch her latest ode on plastic round disc-thingy, Jesus is Magic. If you have the nerve. She ain't for the faint of heart, baby. She's an equal-opportunity offender. I am putty in her hands.
I am psyched about my friend, the divine Miss P-starr's, burgeoning craft fair this weekend (July 29th and 30th) in San Diego. I wish I could go. She's the real deal - gorgeous, brilliant, a genius with her hands, *and* she does crafty shit. Heh. That sounded dirty, so I went with it. I'm five, remember? So. Yessss. My friend and her crafty fare. Fair. To be specific; The Punk Rock Craft Fair.
It's in San Diego. If you're within a few hundy miles of le Diego du San, I highly, HIGHLY recommend that you hit this. It's going to be, how do the kids these days phrase it? -- off the chain.
Yes. There's going to be cool stuff to see, hear, do, be, etc. AND -- personally, I think this is the clincher -- it's free. Basically, I'm jealous as fuck of anyone who has the opportunity to go, since I won't be able to. Sigh. So, go, and allow me to live vicariously by informing me of your experience post-haste.
May you all have highly productive, non-sucky days that begin with the letter M.
smooches, darlings.






I hope you don't disable them. How will be able to tell you when you're off your rocker? And Jesus is Magic was awesome. Sarah good.

Just what I need more reasons to wish I was on the west coast this weekend. Like BlogHer wasn't enough!
I fight comment dependency too.

Nope. No. Nuh-uh. Thou shalt not disable comments!
Listen. You would kick ass with or without the superlatives lent to you in comment form, m'deah, because talent is not dependent purely on feedback.
And you got talent by the bucketful, so don't sweat it. Enjoy the words of praise and commiseration and think no more of it. Just do the thing you do and recognize that you are a very talented writer, purely independent of the paeans heaped upon you by the rest of us huddled masses.

Sarah Silverman is awesome.
So is a punk rock craft fair. I'd break the bank at a punk rock craft fair.

Ohmigod. I have the hugest girl crush on Sarah Silverman ever. I've loved her since Mr. Show with Bob and David. And the trailer to Jesus is Magic? Orgasmic. Who are you and how did you get into these little folds of my brain? Oh...I forgot...OUR brain.
I'm addicted to the feedback in an unhealthy way as well. I can't even imagine shutting off the comments. You're a braver woman than I am for even considering it.

Nope, no disable, I would go thru posting withdrawls. Need to tell you how much you ROCK!!LOL
I LOVE Sarah Silverman. She is too funny for words.

I want to go to the Punk Rock art fair too! So unfair. There is never any cool stuff like that in my area:(
I've been meaning to rent Jesus is Magic. I'll get on it before the Summer is over.

You can NOT disable comments. How then will I tell you that you kick ass? How will I say when I feel your pain and get your angst and laughed my arse off with you? How? So nope, can't be done.
As if I needed yet another reason to HATE that I have to leave for a work trip this weekend. HATE! Can I live vicariously too?

I think the punk rock craft fair is JUST what I need to do this weekend. It looks like a lot of fun, and I have a friend who would probably like to go with me, too. I'll remember to bring my camera... just for you.

I would be so sad if you disabled your comments. Then I couldn't tell you how much I love you all the time.

Due to the fact that I idolize you, I have added Jesus is Magic to my Netflix cue. (I just got Netflix by the way and am completely excited about it but also in denial that I am going to have time to watch movies.)
And I know you are kidding about disabling your comments. You BETTER be kidding. I have your e-mail address and I will use it to respond to your posts whether you like it or not! The end.

Dude - that craft fair looks AWESOME! Wish I could go. At least I can check out some more of the artisans.
Even if you disable, I'll still read. It's up to you.

Thanks for the shout out! Can't wait for this weekend...wish you could be here!

I can't get to the Jesus is Magic link from work - so it MUST be good! hahahha
If you disable comments, I would be sad but then you have to do what you have to do. Besides, I would just email you instead. ;p

Oh, I'm gay as all get-out for that JAP! BTW, I just got through saying something naughty about JC on my blog and now I feel guilty. Why should I? Oh, I hate it! Why am I such a provincial little fool!
Wait...I'm not. Am I?
What?
I'm confused.
You ARE NOT disabling comments.
