Daily affirmations of a word mercenary
One of the advantages of being an obsessive documentarian is that I can read back in my secret journals and realize things like: OMG! I can’t believe my head didn’t explode last year! I wrote so much about feeling unhealthy and being overworked and even then I knew the two were related, but now a year later I see that HOLY FUCK! It’s a wonder I didn’t develop some sort of fatigue disorder or something. That shit was fucked up.
Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, was published last year.

omg, am i you, only last year? (http://www.anti9to5guide.com/2006/10/24/do-as-i-say-not-as-i-do/) i’m always bargaining with the imaginary god i don’t quite believe in, saying, just let me pull one more all-nighter without dying, and i promise to take better care of me next week. sad.

bargaining. yes. i am currently in negotiation with my future. living crazy now for some peace later. the funny thing is, I really believe that the peace is so certain that I feel calm right now going through my craziness. Jan 07 is going to be the best ever!

somehow i missed responding to this. i think one person i talked to this year called it Future Me, when referring to the student loan debt she was currently amassing. here’s to a better 2007!
