So much better. Although I don’t feel like I can copy my reply from the other comment you made, so everyone’s going to think that I’m neither thanking you nor addressing the Kamran bit here.

I hope it wouldn’t be confused with Moments with Meat Loaf, the book I wrote about my intimate time on tour with Michael Lee Aday. (Totally had to Wikipedia his real name.) Two books with the nearly same title are okay when the title’s that awesome, right?

Also, Meatloaf Moments may be a pretty intense name for a cat, but you could call it plain, ol’ Meatloaf for short, which is actually an awesome name for a cat. As long as everyone knows he’s not named after Michael Lee Aday.

Luckily for you, when I sense competition, I completely shut down and make it clear that I’m not competing just so I can’t look like a fool if I lose. So you can be the rocking-at-life friend, and I’ll just be the take-good-things-if-they-happen-to-fall-in-my-lap friend.

There’s something very striking about that ‘memoir’. It hit me in the chest before I had even processed what it meant.

And here I was expecting your famousity to have resulted from the fact that you insist on qualifying Kamran’s name in every damn post.

(How’s that?)

Come on, what about “Breast cancer: zero. My future: won”? Soooooooo pun-y. Plus, if you say mine is too much better than everyone else’s, I’ll think that the competition was weak and won’t feel so superior about my win.

But yes, I totally like you better either way.

Do you think meatloaf will keep from Florida to Ohio? If so, then yes, please send me enough loaves to last the year, along with several key lime pies, and Rocket.

Hey, listen, I may be a bigimportant actress and author now, but I never forget the little people who brought me this far by sticking $5 bills in my underpants.

Look you up if I’m ever in Texas? As if you won’t be coming back to NYC every weekend for booze cruises?

I don’t know how I missed this post, but Meatloaf Moments is a kickass title for just about anything. A cookbook, a memoir, a collection of essays, your band’s first album, your future talk show, etc.

I think I may enter it into the contest for what we name our next cat.

“This is where I live, and these are our two cats: Logan and Meatloaf Moments.”

Congratulations!

Of course, your utter Rocking-at-Life phase you’re going through here is probably going to negatively impact the friendship I’m going to insist we form once I’m local again.

I’m stupid competitive, and, you’re clearly better than I am.

Crap

for the record, i think your 6-word autobiography is sooooooooo much better than the runners-up and i am convinced that they’re just being nice when they say it was a tough decision. and i’m not just saying that because i know you’ll like me better if i flatter you. it’s both sycophantic AND true, the best kind of true!

Katie,
you are uuhh–may–zing!

Now that you are writing & acting I guess I won’t see you dancing at the Hustler club & Scores anymore…

Good Luck & Best Wishes.

Look me up if you’re ever in TX!

Exxxcellent. Then I can count on you for a submission to the Katie-and-Karinya-edited short story compilation, Meatloaf Moments?

Is the “and stuff” something like “and you’re a tool” or “and you’re a raging narcissist”?

Either way, thank you.

This totally reminds me of that book Tear Soup from my days working in the children’s department of Barnes & Noble, though I wouldn’t actually recommend that you read the book, since it’s laaaaaame.

I’m so jealous of you, though! There’s restaurant here that advertises its meatloaf as “better than mom’s on her best day” or something to that effect, and I scoff at that. If you happen to find my mom’s recipe where you found your mom’s, please let me know.

I really enjoy that you think you have to tell me you’re not a creep, as if I’m the type of girl who gets so many compliments that she can judge who’s complimenting her. I have friends who are like, “I can’t believe that old guy just smiled at me! Who does he think he is?”, while I’m like, “Where? Did he smile at me, too?! Let’s go talk to him.” That’s embarrassing.

Anyway, thanks! I’m glad you introduced yourself.

Thank you!

I was telling Kamran last night how much I love the phrase you came up with and asked him if he thought we should edit a book called Meatloaf Moments that’s filled with stories about those times when you realize you’re missing out on something that parented people aren’t. What do you think?

Oh, didn’t you know?–I’ve already compiled all of your LJ entries into a book and sold them off to Random House. You’re being published later this year. With full-color pictures. Including the nude, friends-only ones. But HEY, thanks!

I’m glad you know better now about my name. It makes me seem like an entirely different person, right? RIGHT?

Bittersweet congrats.

You put into words the exact feeling I have about my mom’s food. It isn’t the same when someone else makes it.
