editor, even if for a split second.
i'm awesome! i'm totally smart and
interesting and also rad! people
keep asking me to run the world,
because they know it would be better
for everyone, but i would rather lead a
quiet life in my kimono, so i decline!'
that's what i would be saying if i were
Alexis -- i would probably have it in
the 'About Me' section of my
friendster page. but Alexis doesn't go
around bragging like that, because
despite the whole being-awesome
thing she's very down-to-earth and
not stuck up. and i don't go around
bragging either, because i am not
Alexis and therefore have nothing to
brag about.

protests, would absoutely insist that
you sing along to G&S despite
protests.
of detective fiction. Don't tell anyone about
this, but sometimes, when I'm at Alexis'
apartment and she's otherwise occupied, I
sneak into her bedroom and surreptitiously
sniff her paperbacks. Occasionally, I even
stuff one down the front of my shirt for my
own private consumption later. Then I
casually saunter back to the living room,
whistling nonchalantly. I don't think Alexis
has caught on yet, so next time I'm going to
try for a hardcover. Or maybe I'll switch to
her sweater collection.
the best issue of your all-time
favorite magazine ever for the very
first time. She'll tell you funny
jokes and give great movie reviews,
then she'll show you pictures of
