might makes write
the newsletter designed for me to exert social pressure on myself
in which we meet both mickey and their neuroses
in which we meet marco, the most pretentious narrator this side of donna tartt
in which Ari does not finish their grad school applications
in which performance is a hell of a drug, but drugs are also a hell of a drug
maybe the real horror was asking the friends we made along the way to read our writing
in which angus once again receives the short end of the stick
in which our hero lands a gig
in which 'soon' comes, and then marco also -- no, i shan't say
in which the people and the music both slap
in which there is a party at last
in which it becomes clear that the author did, in fact, read marlowe's doctor faustus in preparation for this novel
in which the idea of writing a fifteen-page paper is dismissed out of hand
impromptu, unscheduled, spoiler-filled thoughts from a late-night screening
in which thing get, in their way, flirtatious
in which the author endeavors to get pink pony club stuck in your head
