I'm so grateful to be in the possession of the oil from the weeping statues in Audrey's home. I'm asking Little Audrey for a special request for Little Ian Cusack only 6, he was hit by a car last Sept. He is very sick in Cork University Hospital, Ireland. He has had 17 operations in his little life but has now been struck down by meningitis and has been given 3 - 7 days to live. I'm asking for Little Audrey's intercession for this little pet. Please Little Audrey lay your healings hands upon Ian. Thank you xxxxx Poor Little Audrey, her story is amazing.

]]> Comment on If God Wanted Me to Schmooze More, He Would Have Given Me Ass-Shaped Lips by Kristin F. http://www.earthlab.net/?p=52&cpage=1#comment-292 Kristin F. Tue, 11 Nov 2008 03:49:28 +0000 http://www.earthlab.net/?p=52#comment-292 I'm a PR person and I dislike shmoozing (otherwise known as 'networking') even though it's an unspoken part of my job. When I'm required to go to an event with a client, it always feels like putting on an ill-fitting sweater. Sometimes it all feels so contrived, that I'm embarrassed to even show up. That being said, there are writers I truly admire that show up at some of these events and I want to fangirl to my heart's content. The one time I did do this though, a journalist took one look at my badge and walked away, muttering something about "PR people." I was heartbroken. At the end of the day, PR person or not, I'm just a reader. Anyway, my point is. Me too. Crossing the lines between professional and personal makes me uncomfortable.

And I suppose good agents are people who are genuinely interested in almost anything, so they don't appear disingenuous when networking. On the other hand, I had exactly this experience at some kind of TechCrunch meetup -- spent 20 minutes talking to a PR person, all the while wanting to poke my eyes out.
