I think my dog is a cat, because unlike most dogs who slobber and fawn over their masters, mine refuses to acknowledge me, unless it is meal time.
*This is super off-topic, but I just want to say I love you, and you’re the only reason I subscribed to Today. I still have your autograph. My cousin got it for me (she saw you in a bookstore). I still have your books (not all of them) and you’re the single biggest reason why I decided to write.
P.S. I’m not a stalker, just incredibly giddy that I finally got to say all that to you (I’m extremely uninformed; never knew you had a blog). :D
