Let The Hate Mail Begin
The Houston Chronicle has been in talks with me for some time about picking up this blog for their “Mom Houston” section, an honor that I am completely in awe of. (Me, a writer? I always considered myself a WHINER, not a WRITER.)
So last week, I made the first step. And today, my little blog is a blip on their homepage.
I’ve already gotten fifteen emails, ten of which tell me to stop whining, five of those who lament that my pathetic life is nothing in comparison to gas prices/the crisis in China/unrest in Darfur/the cost of Viagra/the vicious case of anal itching this particular reader had at that moment.
I LOVE THE INTERNET!!!

Eh, screw ‘em.
You should’ve seen the nasty comments I used to get when I’d go off about outsourcing and off-shoring! And, once, of all things, I got a nastygram from a Maori ex-pat from Australia moaning about my use of their native language as source data for a language machine on my fantasy and science-fiction writer’s website. It’s a crazy world.
But, as my father used to tell me, if you make through this world without someone not liking you, you just haven’t lived much.

Does this mean I have to stop reading because you’re a big star now? I kind of like reading because I can relate to you.
That and I like the kickboxing picture of you.
