The reading went really well! I made mistakes less than a handful of times. (For example, I said "a teal" instead of "a seal [against the tide]"--I was getting ahead of myself.)

Most of the people in the audience were friends: dionysus1999, sarahmichigan, simianpower, lameautarch and K. (meecie?) all came out to support me. I appreciate their time, especially simianpower, since I know he doesn't enjoy poetry that much. ;)

Lauren said she'd feature me again next year and would forward my name to some organizers in Detroit. My response? "Cool."

I hear you thought I was really bored, which isn't quite what was going on. For most activities that aren't interactive I have to be doing something else as well. When watching TV or a movie I'm either snarking with friends or reading or doing homework or whatever. My brain turns off if I don't keep it occupied enough, and I discovered (by going to sleep in lots of lectures/classes) that if I keep it busy it can keep going longer.

But Lauren was... well, really annoying. Phony.

Good for you. I knew you would be good.
