i was recently approached by yardenxanthe to write an article for the zine, CROQ, of which she is a major part. this flatters me for a number of reasons that i will now proceed to list

Frankly, I would read anything you've written.

But I vote scones.

[roxy_fondue]

you are too kind.

one vote for scones!

[snoopturtle]

I am very excited that you are going to do this. I will live vicariously through you as you know I want to be a writer but don't have the talent to do so. You, on the other hand, are excellent at this.

I think I vote for embracing mediocrity because you could talk about scones and reality television since they are simple pleasures which make any day better.

[roxy_fondue]

embracing mediocrity is one of those umbrella topics that could cover a number of sub-topics.

and eff the idea that you are not a good writer. i won't allow such lies as commentary on this journal. i think you should write for CROQ too, as you actually have crafty talent whereas i am a mere poser. PLUS YOU ARE A GREAT WRITER, SNOOP BOOGIE *waves fist in air that scares flock of birds, but this time prompted by good instead of evil*

As you think you pale in comparison to crazyauntpurl (which, for the record, i think is shennanigans), I feel the same way when reading your entries. Not to inflate your ego any more, but you are hilarious and I wish I could be half as entertaining.

I also forgot to thank you for being my "exporter" (wink. wink.)

unnecessary use of quotation marks

[roxy_fondue]

i will "export" anything to you that can be "exported". wink wink indeed.

I think those are all fantastic topics to write about...I love your writing and think you can handle any of them in a witty and fun manner. I vote pumpkins/pumpkin scones, if it's going to be a fall issue.

Maybe you could eventually turn into one of those bloggers who write a book...though maybe that only happens in the knitting community? There are several knitting blogs that turned into books...

after reading dooce, sundrymorning, and crazyauntpurl, my self-esteem re: writing has gone kersplat. especially with crazyauntpurl. i would shit myself if i could write like her! she kills me on a daily basis.

yes, i am writing this from the grave.

p.s. thanks for the compliments, though. it seems like pumpkin/scones is gaining an edge!

I wouldn't read about scones because, don't beat me up for this, I'm not a big fan.

Reality tv? meh.

A 600-800 word article on embracing mediocrity I might read. especially if it included something about reality tv and expandable pants.

the livejournal connection one I would read

and with a heading like "It's like 1812 all over again" it would at least be able to capture my attention for 1 paragraph.

where is the scone love?

[roxy_fondue]

oh i am so going to have to beat you up now.

but thanks for your input :)

I was going to say, "do you really think you could write 800 words about scones?" But then I came to my senses. Of course you could.

My vote is for embracing mediocrity. I know it's something I could get better at. And you could expand it to cover most of those other topics.

[roxy_fondue]

i think i could maybe even write an entire book about scones.

ooh, i smell a challenge.

the embracing mediocrity one is appealing, but i am afraid it will be too much about me...like too biographical? i am not sure i want to focus on that (as this journal is biographical enough). but, hmmm...something to think about.
