on editing

[terebi_me]

Editing is like waking up the next morning beside someone who you shagged to exhaustion last night, both of you were drunk, and it was really dark and you couldn't really see each other. You want it to be someone beautiful, funny, and tolerant, and already half in love, and you kind of want there to be snuggling and possibly another go-round; but maybe they're hideous, or maybe they think YOU'RE hideous, or maybe it's someone SERIOUSLY inappropriate, or maybe they leap up from bed to run and go puke and you wonder is is me?, and then they leave without saying goodbye - and you still have to tidy up the place because your parents are coming over.

Extended metaphors-R-us.

Get to work. NOW. You're almost there, little buckaroo!
