Snarked out on Zits

I could tell I was snarked out on zits today. No ideas were coming. I resorted to Shannon Lake snark again. She is imminently snarkable and I have not tired of her yet. Adrianne_p has introduced a running joke with Jeremy and Alexandra Love where Jeremy gets upset and vents about it. For some reason, this gets Alexandra Love excited. So Jeremy will be venting for awhile until Adrianne_p tells me she is sick of it.

The lecture workshops r: It's Raining Outside--They Say It's Global Warming, Writing The Great Canadian Novel, Marriage Counseling For The Career Woman, How To Be A Silent Partner In A Financial Successful Startup Business, & English Assignments. How To Outline The Problem. Jeremy will be going with his mom. Let me know if you want your character to come, too.

Howard the dog is still not human, but he is slowly but surely kissing everyone in the Foobiverse. More to come.

Oh! That's a joke!! ::Feels a breeze overhead:: Missed that! I thought it would be character develope. Along with Jeremy's aging he grew a spine for himself! : D

Alex/I may not grow tired of it ... Okay maybe ; )
I've been enjoying it, going on the idea that Jeremy isn't as spineless as he was -- he actually feels something besides nervous or dorky.

I'd/Alex would love to go to the workshops with you.

No way is April going to any workshop Michael administers. So, I guess April's plan isn't going to get Jeremy out of it? She was certain it would be surefire!

aprilp_katje, Normally I would be happy for Jeremy to take April's plan, but I plan some Mike snarking. The idea is that in addition to snarking the outline idea in April's monthly letter, we just snark Mike's writing in every possible way, by posting them as writing tips given by Mike.

adrianne, glad to have Alex and Eva with me.

Heh. Having read your entry while out of character, I can see where you are going with setting up the workshop as an opportunity to snark. When I had April responding with her plan, I was so in character that all "I" could think was, "Oh, no, I have to save him from being subjected to Michael's 'wisdom.' Hey, foolproof plan!" Anyway, I look forward to seeing what you come up with. :)

Howard,

Let me know when this workshop is. Is it today? I can't remember if you said when it was ...

I'm thinking that you talk to Eva about Shannon and all she's done to you en route and Alex actually listens this time and gets pissed, yells at you and then stays mad at you through the workshop so it wasn't so great having Alex there after all ... She kept raggin' on you for being a bad boyfriend or something through the whole workshop in front of everyone.

Let me know what you think of this ... I think I'm going to lay down. I had an asthma attack at the baby shower and I'm tired = (

adrianne_p,

I can go with your idea, and mix the Alex / Jeremy interplay with the Mike writing snark. I was thinking the workshop would be tonight. Is there a problem with that?

Nope. Not that I can think of.
Do you mind taking the reins on it and I'll follow your lead?

Ru-oh, it looks as though Jeremy forgot one of Becky's gigs!

Adrianne, sorry for dropping the ball. My daughter decided she wanted to go to Red Lobster for her birthday dinner, so we went out and it was a 25 minute wait to get in. I just put up a long and involved post. I hope you like it or can at least stand to read it. As for the Becky party, I couldn't find any times listed for it in the original post. Maybe qnjones is trying to test my writing skills, but most likely I missed something.
