Possible Characters for My Many Successful Future Novels
1) I keep running into the same burlesque dancer on the bus.

It's not that I can just read off someone's face what their torrid occupation is (though of course any man can tell you every pretty girl on the bus has one) but she's talked about it on recent trips a few times.

A few days ago she seemed to sink into the background as semi-well-made-up-tired-and-puffy-faced-thirty-something while plucky-yet-misguided-constant-pen-dropping-clubroom seemed to suck up all the interesting. That is until they sat side by side.

promoters regarded they'd met at shambala the year before. Instant connection (one would assume associated with various smells I'd prefer to stay out of). But then wait...there was another meeting. Dancer brought up her very artistic, very mature and mindbending association with the world of burlesque. You know, the world that takes stripping and turns it into an art form via pasties, no handjobs and being slightly chubbier than normal strippers. She poo poos strippers a bit and discusses an upcoming convention for burlesque dancers (conventions=artistry times a million).

She briefly extolled the virtues on the enamored promotress who admitted before she was married she wanted nothing more than to trod the boards spinning various things off her nipples.

But then the thought came

"OF COURSE!" exclaimed the excited promotress "We were both in that wet t-shirt contest at the club!"

The facade of artistry is a distant memory.

"I WON!"

2) There were a fun looking group of 10 year olds of all races tearing around the lobby of the Church Of Scientology playing tag.

The one in the corner got his hands on an e-meter and brought down the house by talking into it like an old time telephone.

Then somebody yelled at them.

p.s. Novels aren't my thing

P.s.s. 'Stranger Than Fiction' is the first cute movie in a while to make me fall for the cuteness end to end. You should bring a cute boy or girl to it. When you expose one cute thing to another...Well...I'll let you find out.

p.s.s.s. - Stranger Than Fiction is the first movie starring Will Ferrel I enjoyed because he actually acts instead of playing Will Ferrel being a dick.

Dear Jesus, Cam:

"You know, the world that takes stripping and turns it into an art form via pasties, no handjobs and being slightly chubbier than normal strippers."

You should really give novels a shot.
