nell: i'm back finally
me: huzzah
where did i leave that fatted calf?
nell: my thoughts exactly
i am about to read tamara knopper's piece... i get a lot of anonymous shout outs on your blog....
me: ya i know
c the thing is
[my gf] got mad at me when i linked to your name's google search results
i wuz liek, i wanted to credit and she was like nell deserves privacy
so.
nell: if only i had an online identity, such as a blog... or a guest feature profile on your blog..... if only
me: ya if only!

READERS WANT TO KNOW:
"Dear Nell, I hear you are very interested in things like racial and economic justice. Do you think that's more important than gay marriage?"
nell: i refuse to answer that question
me: haha U HAVE TO
nell: well... instead of answering, i will tell you a brief, illustrative story:
me: OK I HAS BAITED BREATH
nell: i was canvassing with a union rep from [REDACTED] named [REDACTED] and he actually had decent race and gender politics, at least insofar as he expressed distaste for his boat club compatratriots who are unwilling to vote for a woman or a black man event though they are allegedly democrats....then, we are driving along and
we canvass at a house where there are two "male" snowmen and two male names listed as registered voters in the house. [REDACTED] remarks later, "those two male snowmen and two male names worried me a bit. i thought they might be a little goofy."
me: lol wut
nell: then he went on to describe a friend of his who has a brother who is likewise "a little goofy" and calls him his boyfriend when they see each other at the bowling place
and then i tittered a little bit
and then we went on with our day
me: WTF U TITTERED?
nell: yes, i admit it.... i tittered
me: wait what does that have to do with gay marriage being more important than race
nell: it doesn't have much to do with anything.... i also admit that
me: well
homophobia is teh sux00r
at least yr coworkers don't talk about strip clubs and call each other 'bro'
AT LEAST YOU'RE NOT A TRANSSEXUAL.
nell: my coworkers have their issues... BUT, if you are pointing out that i have may things to be grateful for..... YOU ARE RIGHT
me: ya
so i can put this convo on my blog right?
i'll redact specific identificatory details
nell: hmmmmmm ok
everything is about your blog
me: hey
o rly?

lol why is this blog the most narcissistic thing EVAR?
isn't that generally what blogs are about...I mean srsly
hi aj, i'm not sure if this will make you feel less narcissistic, but jesse told me i should read your blog, so i did and enjoyed doing so, and voilà, you have a reader who you don't even know. on the other hand, maybe that just makes me a voyeur. hmm.
wtf mate, im so boycotting this blog now, i want a guest column!!!
nell i love you though, 4 realions. come over again and carve pumpkins...even though it's nowhere near halloween.
shira, i don't know what you're talking about. i don't know any of these people.
BTW LOTS OF PEOPLE READ MY BLOG, mmkay
it doesn't count when 3 of them are your RL friends!!!
JK IT ALL COUNTS.
I suppose my column (for future reference) could be one of the following:
1. Ask a homebody
2. Ask a Non-Unionized Employee
3. Ask an X-Phile
4. Ask an Awesome Person
Yknow, for your consideration.
