Name dropping

Apparently I'm odd--I don't plan to list that I've been to Clarion on my cover letters. I guess it feels like bragging to me, and I don't see any need to do such a thing. Either my story is good enough or it isn't--where I was before I wrote the story isn't important. Is this that weird? I've heard enough editors tell me that they really don't pay attention to publishing credits for anything less than pro magazine sales. Why then would I list a workshop in my credits? Is it just my disinclination to make myself look cooler? Does this make sense to anyone else?

the real slim shady

It's so wrong, but I'm really rather amused by the new Eminem video. I think it's because he reminds me of my brothers' friends. I'm still not pleased with the older songs, but the line, "nobody listens to techno" just makes me laugh. Even though I like moby, I still like the video. :)

Podling!

Oh, I just gave Andrea one of my LJ codes, so we're all to bug her to write fun stories in her journal! She's Podling.
