so, the greenville newspaper printed the letter i wrote in response to the letter some idiot wrote about obama's profane lifestyle. and do we really want judas running the country...yadda, yadda, yadda. only problem is, the geniuses in editing decided that every time i used the man's proper name, they'd replace it with "letter writer." for example, "the letter writer seems to think reproductive rights for women are atrocities." so, i come off sounding like an idiot. or like one of those people who has aphasia and can't think of the word "fork," so use some sort of middle english kenning...like "food-utensil." seriously, i'm convinced my niece or kanasta or aaron is wearing a suit and sitting in the corner office downtown looking over proofs, going "natalie! where's natalie? someone get her in here to change his name to Letter Writer."
no matter, though, because (WAIT FOR IT) some crotchety old republican lady named MAMIE MORGAN is threatening to sue the paper for slanderous remarks. she can't believe she has the same name as some "crazy liberal" and doesn't want her name attached to it. oh my god!!! you don't know how happy that makes me. she's probably fanning herself somewhere right now.
oh, and two things: my student tells me that the hacks at MLA say we can use "well" and "good" interchangeably. this MUST be a mistake, right? "only food is good" or whatever my grandmother used to say...
also, i'm now posting songs for each entry to see if i can make eric ride his bike off a cliff. cheers.

that's better than the other Hannah Abrams, who is--if we're to believe google--a v. successful realtor.
(spellcheck is telling me realtor is not a word, which makes me feel better.)
jesus. you spell check comments? it's like, together, the perfect OCD case...
