Never having been a fan of “LOL”, I couldn’t think of anything more creative. Hey, let’s invent something new! How about gfaw or NLM (nose leaking milk)?

To answer your wonderful post, the things bugging me are:

1) People who act “impressed” that you freelance write, then turn around and expect you to drop everything for them because you “can work anytime.” (Tell that to my damn muse who has been taking vacations without asking me first!)

2) Turning 35 and realizing that, as a female in our western society, you’re never likely to be considered “sexy” again. No matter what, your wrinkles will be a dead giveaway that you’re aging. Guys become “distinguished”; gals become “hags.”

3) Parents who assume that because you have a child, you won’t mind watching their hell-raisers (gratis, of course.) I mean, come on… I love my son. He’s awesome. But that doesn’t mean I want to babysit the preschool equivalent of Jack the Ripper.

Thanks for letting me rant! Back to writing!

Angelique
