You should call it Piles: The Memoirs of E. Springer.

Wait, do you call piles the same thing we call piles in the UK? Hemorrhoids.

Yo J Spice! May I suggest also a book of essays? Or contributions to McSweeney’s? Your style sometimes reminds me of those Open Letter essays. Another facet of your wordsmithing. I love it.

I wanted to be a writer for a long time. You know what? Writing is hard. Fucking hard, so I decided I didn’t want to do it anymore. That, and a conveniently timed hard drive failure. Alas, “Cloud Ponies” was not to be.

Is this why you wanted the absinthe? So you could be the next Hemmingway, or Poe? It might just work. You are good, E. A good writer. You have a way with making something out of nothing – and a way of twisting and contorting your words into pictures in my mind. Now the trick is to find something to make something out of. Thats always been my problem. What is my something?
Absinthe will certainly help. It makes everything seem special. It also will turn you into an alcoholic, since it gave me and my friends 3 day hangovers. That will drive you to the hair of the dog that bit ya!

“Don’t feel obligated to stick to shitty first ideas.” Does the same follow for shitty second ideas? (Just wondering) In either case, not many come with a “shitty” tag attached. Usually that quality appears only in proportion to the time spent on them. Put another way, spend enough time with any idea and you’ll discover that it was shitty all along. Some are just tougher to crack than others. The answer is not to waste time with any of them. Always use them fresh out of your mind…while they’re still wrapped in a cloak of brilliance. :) By the way, this post was unusually well-written, and a genuine pleasure to read!

Just write about bacon. That will cure your writer’s block.

But seriously. This post is an achievement by itself. I’m jealous of just about anything you pen. Or type.

The saddest part is that, what with Bakers Square filing for bankruptcy, he may never get his free pie.

Clearly he didn’t tell the lady that he had access to Celine Dion tickets.

Great story!

Simple mix-up, really – for it is I who am in possession of the life-size Evanescence poster. Won it at a KDWB thingy.

I keep it in the closet, cause it’s… well, it’s kind of creepy to have lifesize nu-metal popstars looking at you all pretentious-like.
