TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Anything the lawyer you work for wants it to be.

And I worked off of Wilshire.  We're talking "lawyer to the staaaars" *rolls eyes*

It's high pressure, get in at 7 and get your ass whipped by 7:02.  Coffee had to be just perfect, everything goddammed perfect.

Ever read The Devil Wears Prada?  THAT was my boss.

She accused me of stealing $3K, with no proof, and that's when I finally quit.  I quit a $2K/mo job in '95 because I hated my life working for that bitch.

And come to find out, that's basically just how it is working for lawyers...even when you ARE a lawyer.

This whole thread reminds me of the publishing company from Umberto Eco's Folcauts Pendulum.
One by one, we break the sheep from their Iron Bar Prisons and expand their imaginations, make them think for themselves. In turn, they break more from their prisons. Eventually, critical mass is reached. Our key word: Resolve. Evangelize with compassion and determination. And realize that there will be few in the beginning. We are hand picking our successors. They are the future of Discordianism. Let us guide our future with intelligence.

I just finished reading that a couple of days ago.  The biggest thing I got from it was (paraphrase) "If you look for secrets everywhere, eventually you'll find them, but that doesn't mean they're real."

I know people who've gone the self-publishing route, and had a good time doing it, but the big dreams of fame and fortune don't materialize very often.

There is a page on Piers Anthony's website that lists all sorts of publishers and services for aspiring writers.  It's not updated very often, but it is peer reviewed in that people with experiences from various sites let him know if they were good or bad.  Link:  http://www.hipiers.com/publishing.html

There's all sorts of writer's resources like http://www.chuckpalahniuk.net/workshops/resource/ to be found on the net.
