I will crush you.

Maria Sciarrino digs me out in Philly; fascinating hat girl; Amy Benfer and Kate Christensen in the basement at the oyster party

OK, I have had it.

First, I was evicted. That was the worst, I will admit. But since then I have been a lightning rod for crap. It's been stunning, really. Like I have always been proud of the fact that when I put my mind to it I can kick some serious ass. There's plenty of things wrong with me, but I'm smart and I can do the work.

But when my ATM pin number gets stolen by some crazy Canadian crime ring and my bank account gets emptied (as it was last Thursday), and my car dies at the IKEA parking lot in Philly (as it did last Friday), and then I find out I need a ton of repairs on it, and I'm just pretty much an open vein right now financially, there's just only so much I can do to focus on accomplishing my goals.

I am a big believer in the "every day is a new day" philosophy. I wake up in the morning and I'm ready to wipe away what happened the day before and just figure out how I can solve problems. And I hate being that person who never has anything good going on in their life. Like every time you talk to them you're like, "Well at least I'm not them." But this fucking sucks. And I have had it. And I call for an end to the crap right now. By the power of this blog, I command thee, universe, to stop sucking. I want a Surprising Turn of Events, and I want it now.

Blogs have magical powers, right?

Reminder about tonight: I will be reading at the Museum of Sex, on behalf of Sex for America. Nick Flynn, Anthony Swofford, and Tsaurah Litzky will also be reading, and Stephen Elliott will be the ringleader for this whole event. It all starts at 7 PM.
