OK. This is just weird.

After having seen the arch-rival last night (and honestly, that's not a good description of our relationship, just the easiest way to encapsulate it in two words) I decided to look up her blog this afternoon. I found it a few months ago, and have been reading it sporadically.

A post from a few weeks ago indicated she'd gotten work accepted into a literary magazine. My favorite literary magazine. The one that I've subscribed to forever, and then one day, opened it up to find a familar name in the masthead. Coincidentally, the name of the boy we both dated, who works there now as an associate editor.

What on earth is the universe trying to tell me???

That boinking people of power gets you ahead? Or gets them head, as the case may be...

But I boinked him too. So where's my prize?

Your prize is moving on, growing up and getting things without having to boink people for them.

My prize kinda sucks. :-)

Nah...there were rumors, when she got published in the Kenyon Review as an undergrad that she was boinking our prof who was an editor (and he was married to a former student, so...) but I really don't think she was. She does have talent, and I actually think that our mutual boy being on the staff at this new mag might have counted against her.

So I'm just full of sour grapes. Bleh.
