It's a dirty story of a dirty man...
Apr. 8th, 2012 11:35 pmOn the way to Easter lunch at the (non-crazy) aunt's house, "Paperback Writer" comes on the radio.
Dad: "You want to be a paperback writer? You could write trashy romance novels."
Me: "Erm..."
Dad: "You could do it right now!"
Me: "Ahaha. Ha. Ha."
Shame the truth would probably give him a heart attack. I mean, okay, these apocalyptic visions I have of what would happen if my family found out about my writing are probaby greatly exaggerated. I wouldn't be disowned, and I probably wouldn't be shipped off to some type of reprogramming camp. Probably. Still doesn't mean I want to find out.
Anyway, in Odd Coincidences Nobody Cares About News, I had a long, elaborate dream about an old friend (actually, daughter of parents' friends) dying and our whole family going to her funeral. Unusual, because I rarely remember my dreams with much detail and I haven't thought about this girl in years. Anyway, one of the first things my dad said to me this morning was that he had just gotten an e-mail from this girl's father -- and she's pregnant with twins. Not that it means anything, it's just... really weird timing.
