Pimping Me Out

  • Jul. 14th, 2008 at 10:14 PM
I get accused of not paying attention to my career all the time by my friends. I’m not crazy about using my Blog to pimp myself out, but once in a while never hurts, does it?

Besides, I’m proud of this one.

Back in Chicago there’s an organization that saved my life when I was first diagnosed. They asked me to do an interview for them, and I gladly accepted.

Now I suddenly feel as if I’d taken all my clothes off.

I walked into Unabridged Books (by my apartment) and saw a copy with you all over the cover, and I turned to my friend and said, "I totally have her friended on Liveojurnal, and she's awesome. You must read this." (You know, since I was on top of that and had already read it a day earlier.)

That's ok, we like it when you take your clothes off!

Great interview, I think it's wonderful for people to have an organization like TPAN when you REALLY need it. Seriously, talking things out and getting support from others who understand and are facing the same issues as you (no matter what it is, depression, alcoholism, being the parent of an autistic child, etc..) can literally be a lifesaver. I am very happy TPAN was there for you and continues to be there for others.

The interview only shows that you're beautiful with or without clothes. (I was going to say "beautiful and funny", but that could be taken the wrong way, you know.)

Great interview !! I am always impressed that you have great self reflection and know where you came from and have let your experiences shape you in a healthy way . I must say Dr. Ross Slotten is the absolute BOMB , he is my doc and I just Love him, when I leave his office I feel like I just had lunch with a old friend and everything is right with the world !

okay first... no way you're 45, you're making that up! ;)

and second... I like when you're pimping it out in your livejournal! Besides, it's for a good cause. I found myself nodding throughout the whole interview. I wish there were more positive people out there telling the kids that just because there's treatment now doesn't mean you can be careless about safe-sex.

and the part about marriage and the whole birth certificate thing... that would have been priceless! Hopefully, our children will live in a world where they can marry the ones they love without having to suffer through institutionalized bigotry in addition to all the prejudices we have to endure.
