Weird.<BR/><BR/>I've continued to hit the delete key when I get a comment, and he leaves me alone now. One day, I got a comment something like, "I never delete anyone, even if I don't like what they say."<BR/><BR/>I deleted the comment.

I hate to do that but this harassment is starting to really piss me off.<BR/><BR/>Naj, thanks for the suggestion. I just found out that there are two places where I need to post biographic info, and they are different bios.

I'm not so sure about that. I'm calling the book a psychological thriller. I'm a woman with a long and checkered past. Everything's a cliche when your jaded and old. Holy crap.

I become stilted and stupid. What's up with that?<BR/><BR/>I went to a movie today with Nick. I started a review for the blog, when Phillip chatted me up to work on the pitch.
