There's something called The Herald Guilt. I heard its official name last night, but experienced it for the first time two weeks ago

I watched one of five people in the country who gets medicinal marijuana from the United States of America light up

He or she offer you a hit?
Glad to sound like they're working you hard. All the more reason for you to want to come back home and work with me. We need you. Badly.

[notconcise]

He didn't offer me any but I wouldn't have been able to accept anyway!

But last night I ventured alone to Miami's only dirty punk bar and a really nice old punk rocker offered me some! Again, I couldn't accept because I'm a complete idiot when I have to drive home high ...

I do want to go back. And I'll probably see Joe in the next couple days for NAHJ (It's here in Fort Lauderdale). But I've got this yearning for Kentucky in my belly ...

You need to live there for a while, drive down from Ohio with the windows rolled down to hear the whistling trees and bugs at night.

Your stories look good. If you want to compare what you're doing with our features intern check out "helen eckinger" on miami dot com. I think you're doing better work.

"I'm going to Chicago for the Pitchfork music festival to see a band my first real boyfriend and his friend Sergio introduced me to, Os Mutantes, at the end of July. I might get to cover it for The Herald"

Hey.... I want to go... if I can afford it. How much are tickets and etc? Let me know!

Who are the men whose opinions matter? Your bosses? Your dad? Cute boys? I'm curious.

Also, while I know you're talented with multi-tasking and all, please don't text message while driving. It's just not worth it if you end up in an accident of some sort. Seriously. If you won't do it for you, do it for my own peace of mind. I worry about you sometimes, so far away and so busy and so confident of your abilities. Which you should be confident. But also careful. No breaking news is worth your own personal safety!

Love,

your mom

(or what I imagine she would say if she had a lj)

Hahha. I love you, Lauren. I'll seriously try to limit or stop my text messaging. What's weird is I don't even look at my phone when I'm doing it.

The men are the top editors at the paper. This one guy, Manny, who is the sole reason I came out here. A badass journalist, if there ever was one.

Cute boys? Not yet, really. I did go to a punk bar last night and met some nice old punk rockers from around the world. They asked me to become a regular there!

Also, Pitchfork: look it up online. I don't know how to get tickets -- Anthony got them for us. They can't be that expensive, maybe 50 or 75 bucks. I could find you a place to stay for sure.

A Man named Manny. I love it.

I'm changing my name to Womanny.
