Hey! I'm kind of a weird struggling conceptual artist! Go easy!

[methexis]

You can apply to become an Official Party Weird Struggling Conceptual Artist. All we ask for is your first-born son.

Cordially,

Out of curiousity, how old is your daughter?

[methexis]

She's four.

(or "Fourandahalf" if you ask her)

Cordially,
J.

I see.

I'm terrible with kids (my explanation would have been something like "Well, he was probably looking for drugs and didn't find any sweetheart" or "He had an agenda and wanted to steal something specific from someone") and even more terrible with young kids. They scare me. So I congratulate you for your patience, and also, courage.

i realize that i know nothing about you.

weird.

[methexis]

Just keep on reading, dear. *grins*

Cordially,

Do you live in the East Village? Then overboard you go!

Weird struggling conceptual artists: today's sacrifices to Poseidon.

Ha. I like your icon.

'Weird conceptual artist' certainly beats the 'space aliens' or 'unscrupulous angels' excuse.

[methexis]

It certainly a step up. I've used the space aliens explanation once, concerning the rather puzzling end of a proto-relationship (and have since kindly referred to her as "Alien Abduction Girl"), and I'm delighted to now possess a more metaphysically-parsimonious device. As for unscrupulous angels, I try to avoid any mention of them lest somebody from "Touched by an Angel" materializes near me. I have nightmares about this stuff.

Cordially,
J.
