On not getting published by McSweeney’s

Posted by: annahell on: Sunday, January 3, 2010

Mood:
The usual

Music:
Some stupid VH1 reality dating show

I got my first “professional” writing rejection today.
I sent this to the McSweeney’s Lists site last week and received a very nice rejection email  from the editor a few minutes ago.  I wrote it specifically for the site and I thought it was pretty good…not good enough, apparently.  I [...]

<3 McSweeney's, y'all

Posted by: annahell on: Friday, December 11, 2009

Mood:
Fa la la, fa la la, Christmas!

Music:
Tight Bros From Way Back When-Show Me

Perhaps you’ve heard of a little, genius, and at times, ridiculously funny Internet and print publishing venture known as McSweeney’s? If you haven’t, for shame, Internets, really.  Please click the following links to increase your knowledge of “actual post-modernism at its finest” and [...]

Hott Guyz, y’all: the rock and roll edition

Posted by: annahell on: Wednesday, December 9, 2009

Mood:
Confused, also dazed

Music:
The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath a Cloud-Untitled

So, the other day, I got a comment on my Hott Guyz, Y’all post.  It went something like…
From your list, Noel Fielding takes a & b, hands down. But if we’re talking rock bands & messy hair, I’d say Nikki Sixx is a fairly serious omission.

From the files of Internet dating: Mr. So, So Wrong

Posted by: annahell on: Monday, November 2, 2009

Mood:
Already stressed

Music:
Brian Jonestown Massacre-Jennifer

I don’t feel great about reposting some of the emails I receive from potential suitors.  Making fun of people for poor grammar or ignorance is too easy and leaves me feeling hollow and dead inside.  I’d like to think I’m more of a candle-lighter than a darkness-curser.
Then again, every once in a [...]

Kittens of Infamy

Mood:
I’m going to start cleaning the house any second now…really.

Music:
America’s Test Kitchen-”Pork on the Grill”

To commemorate NaNoWriMo, me and my new, competitive novel-writing team/crafting guild/crime-fighting society/comedy posse, Kittens of Infamy (rowwr!), is going to be dropping our first project on you like a white-hot hairball, any day now. So, consider yourself warned…and invited…to read.

an introduction





Hi, I'm Anna. I like cheese.

This blog is me trying to figure out/chronicle my life. The About page has a little bit more information, but, remember, none of this is really me...it's just a supplement, a thumbnail sketch, an Intarwebs placeholder. I'm way better/less wordy in person. :-)

Oh, and if I wrote something about you and you thought it was mean or hurtful, I'm sorry. It's how I felt at the time, but probably isn't how I feel now. Chances are, I love you and I think you're awesome.
