Teacher, Meg’s Distracting Me Again!

Why it is dangerous to follow the links on Meg Cabot’s blog ( http://www.megcabot.com/diary/index.php) when you are trying to get some work done:

1. You end up laughing at some crazy kid using his cat as entertainment.

2. You end up laughing at a librarians blog and then trying to post your own comment, which doesn’t go through, so you give up.

3. You discover Patrick Swayze has cancer. And then you move on.

4. You end up following a link to Amazon.

5. And then you end up going to Chapters to find out what the book is actually about.

6. And then you end up trying to figure out if Ward Cleaver is that TV character from that show you’ve never seen.

7. You follow a link to an author’s site and realise that there is just too much to read on the Internet and you will never get back to work, so close everything down again, promising yourself you will go look at it all again later.

8. You end up writing a blog entry so you can share the crazy links.

And then you notice that Sting’s song ‘Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot’ is song number 666 on winamp’s playlist. I’m just saying. That’s all. I’m not implying that Sting is evil or anything. Or that your soul is going to pilot you straight to hell or anything. Really, I’m not. I’m sure it is just a quirky little coincidence.

Oh my god! It’s a sign!!!!!!!!!!!

  1. hi! The funny thing about the internet is you follow all of these crazy links and find out that the fabu Meg Cabot kindly linked your book and how cool is that!
    Even if you never did watch that show with Ward Cleaver (Leave it to Beaver), I urge you to give it a go. You’ll get some good laughs! Thanks for the mention!

  2. That’s so cool!
    Thanks for stopping by. How did you find my site? Now that you’ve stopped by my site and left a comment, you know that I’m going to have to buy your book and read it!
