I see her walking by sometimes, but it seems to be only when I've just waken up and am stumbling around bringing trash cans out or the like. I assume she thinks I'm developmentally disabled.

Waken up?

You probably are.

No, but that wouldn't add an extra personal value to it for me. I like the comic but I wouldn't walk across a crowded bookstore to talk to the guy or anything.

I got a new wool coat, and my father in his infinite wisdom decided that "Starship Troopers 2" would be a hilarious stocking stuffer.

Is that incorrect? Probably. Sounds fine in my head.

"I've just woke up" ? That's clearly wrong. "I've just woken up" maybe. "I've just awakened" is probably best.

Autographed? Because mine is autographed. Also, my neighbor edited it. I see her walking by sometimes, but it seems to be only when I've just waken up and am stumbling around bringing trash cans out or the like. I assume she thinks I'm developmentally disabled.

I'm pretty sure he's one of those ******** who does the Cambridge bookstore/coffeehouse circuit trawling for people to one-up. The amount of well-off but vaguely employed intelligentsia with nothing better to do there is unreal.

Munroe or Smash?

Or maybe they go bowling together. Or play snooker. Or whatever well-off vaguely employed intelligentsia do for fun.

Nexa bought for me as a gift for birthday, actually. From the Harvard bookstore, obviously. I assume it was in the $1 bargain bin.

I always thought how humiliating it must be to see your book in the $1 bin. I guess it depends on how much money it makes.

It would probably make more money if you pretended that some rogue third-world dictatorship threatened to blow up bookstores do you release it online instead.

I suppose not as humiliating as a stack of rejection letters.

You're right there. I started to write a book awhile ago but stopped almost immediately due to my limited vocabulary. I have the imagination to write a nonfiction, but I have no desire to read one. That creates a conundrum. Do I have to read one to know how to write one? I assume the answer is yes, but man.....maybe I can get away with selling an ideal and letting someone else write it.

Thanks, that really means a lot. I'm going to turn it into a children's book, just need someone to do the illustrations.

'I first realised I was an onion when I cut myself and started to cry.

Are you an onion, too? There is an easy way to find out.'

I actually planned on writing something, just not the whole thing because it would be embarrassingly amateurish. So, it would be LESS embarrassing in trying to pass it off as an "idea" of an incomplete story.
