Also, the Internet is for British people who otherwise would not have an outlet for their frustration from underneath that stiff upper lip. And it is for people with a sense of humour, and for those without. It is for people that understand the meaning of irony, and for people who still awaits the Titanic in New York. The Internet is for all of us! Let's all be happy together!

Work on it, tune it, make it count. Discipline, people, discipline.

Seriously. I just finished reading a story so beautifully written and sad that it made me cry. I'm not fucking kidding. It was something linked on Twitter that I NEVER would have had the pleasure of reading otherwise. What the hell is this high-horse of yours all about? <br />Are you here to write, read and be read? Or are you the guy who shows up at the party just to whine about how lame it is. I thought that we were all here for the same reasons. According to your posts you hate Twitter and self-promotion, you hate online lit mags, and you hate editors. WHY!? <br /><br />Look how angry you make me!Teresa Houlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13275324327394902406noreply@blogger.com
