My Earlobes Still Feel Fat

This article: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/25/magazine/25internet-t.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&hp is really interesting, but I can't decide if it's a description of everything that's tempting about blogging or everything that's wrong with it. I mean, after all, the experience got the writer a piece in the NY Times magazine! By the way, can I just mention that this girl was 24 when Gawker offered her the position she's writing about, and at that point she was an associate editor at a publishing house and was antsy to be promoted faster.

So maybe I look better than I give myself credit for, but I have a feeling it has more to do with that little extra swing in my hips, and that easy smile on my lips. Maybe confidence really is key. Or maybe it’s just that Frowny McWorryalot is kind of unattractive. Noted, men of London. Thanks for the smiles today. PS For anyone who actually reads these things, let it be known that I have integrated pilates into my workout routine and decided not to be so hard on myself. Fuck sticktoitiveness, I'd rather just b
