simple magazine is holding an essay contest. in 1500 words or less, they'd like to know when i first realized i had grown up. must be 19 to enter. apparently, at 18, you are still a kid despite the lotto tickets and porn collecting in your closet. the pretty prize for chosen submission: $3000, trip to NYC, lunch with editors, and of course publication. i NEED to win this, i am totally capable of writing an essay bouncing with poignancy. my 1500 words or less could definitely make an editor laugh, cry, and wonder why she/ he hadn't already discovered me. at prize-lunch, they would pick my brain, asking how i attained such wisdom at an early age. naturally, they would beg for more and i would oblige, directing them to this blog. which by that time should be chuck full of entries. after reading and re-reading, liking and loving.... i would get my own column. and my inspiring story would be made into a lifetime movie. it would premier after project runway.
ahhhhhh fantasies are fun.
