See the second paragraph here.
Read this.
Then of course there is this.
There have been a couple of other incidents along these lines.
The most blatant was when one guy – arguably the most important guy of all (but don’t tell the others, although, oops, they all read my site – doh!) – asked me, “So – will you dedicate it to me?” He knew how ridiculous he was being, but he couldn’t stop himself. I could not believe the balls. We were laughing hysterically. “No, I will NOT dedicate it to you. Jesus Christ, haven’t I given you enough?” “I know, I know – I can’t help it.” “Your ego, dude!!” “I know! I told you! I warned you about it!”
Yesterday I got together with the Trinidadian massage therapist. Haven’t seen him in months. He asked me how I’ve been. Gave him the truncated version. “I finished a book,” I said. He immediately asked why he didn’t have an autographed copy yet. “Well, it’s not published yet. But don’t worry – I’ll give you a signed copy.”
He asked, “Is there a chapter about me?”
In such a topsy-turvy uncertain world, where anything can happen at any time, and you can’t count on anything staying the same, there is something unbelievably comforting to me about the unanimous and consistent response I have gotten to the news of the book from the men in my life.
I would be disappointed if it were any other way.
You must have some homing device for fellas with, what would Dr. Freud say, healthy egos? Or just big cigars?
Both. hahahaha
I have to say, though we never slept together, I should’ve had a chapter in there…the rollerskating rink, the rusty nail from the wall/ blood pact that we abandoned in less than 12 hours.
Rusty nail!! hahahaha
“Yeah, so much for our blood vow – this fucking earring HURTS.”
You do deserve a chapter!
I still think I have that written pact somewhere David. I should scan it and put it on my site. I am sure it is totally mortifying.
Please let me see it first…no, mortify us, it’s more fun!
I’ll see if I can dig it up. I believe you wrote 4 words, then I wrote 4 words, then you wrote 4 words … and the whole thing is so drunk and ridiculous!!
Except for the earring part, we have kept that pact though.
