Oh, call me narcissistic but I am going to go for it. They have the craziest topics to write about too. I kind became intrigued with the site this morning. What I like about this though is I can almost be guided in writing which may be half of the problem now. I am always asking people for a word to start me off or to give me a category. Way better than using parataxis and undescribing words to write about myself. This way I won't have to be so cryptic because I am not revealing my soul. I'll do it. The worst that will happen is they won't call. Which would be par for the course. I am not sure I have the credentials mentioned above. If I get high and do it I think I could write about the most passionate rainer maria rilke and convince them I know the answers to all. Or just submit some off the wall (like most things I know) topic like finding a comparison for locke and a lobster fishing mafioso off the coast of new brunswick.
OPA!
