They Like Me! They Really, Really Like Me!
Last summer, I submitted a story I wrote to a small webzine called Chaos Theory and promptly forgot about it. This morning, I got an e-mail from the publisher telling me they were going to publish my story in the next issue, which comes out in a couple weeks. I was floored. I had basically given up on that story ever seeing the light of day. I even get $10 out of the deal! Granted, it's not the New Yorker or even Reader's Digest, but hey, someone is paying me money for something I wrote. And it provides some objective proof that I don't completely suck.
I've started asking friends to set me up on a date. I used to shy away from such requests because I thought there wasn't a chance anyone would take me seriously. But I must be getting more confident (or more deluded) because now I think that a woman could do a lot worse than hang out with me for an hour or two. Maybe I should set up a separate website expressly for that purpose: hookmarkup.com or something like that.
