Recent stories by and about Emily

How I met Margaret

My freshman year of college I was enrolled in Intro to Creative Writing, taught by Dr. Thomas Heffernan.

The first class meeting there was this really sassy redhead standing outside class talking about smoking and how it was really unfair she couldn’t use the gym whenever she felt like it.

We all filed into the classroom when it was time and she got up in front of the class and said something to the effect of, “Welcome to Intro to Creative Writing. I’m Dr. Thomas Heffernan.”

The class was mostly freshmen, and we all bought it. Why would we not?

To quote her: “Wow, frosh lag.”

[For the record, this is the real Dr. Heffernan.]

A story about Emily

“Tell A Story About Emily”? Where to begin? She and I met in 2005, but only this semester became close with her. Thank God I did, though, because we are, in effect, the same human being in two ridiculously hot bodies. She is the best poet I know and has all this really hip, fun knowledge that she lets me in on. We’re partners in crime, and we drink a lot of champagne together. No, a LOT-really-a LOT of champagne. I think we’re averaging about four bottles a week. And…she’s completely glamorous.

How I met Nanci Griffith

I met her tonight at a fundraiser for the Anderson Fair documentary. She’s really down to earth. If you’d been in the room, and you didn’t know her, you couldn’t have picked her out of the crowd. She made a really low-key entrance, and signed a lot of stuff for everyone. Not to mention she’s playing two shows at Anderson Fair this weekend, and donating all of her revenue to the film makers. She’s such a complete sweetheart!

A story about David Sedaris

David Sedaris is the reason I bought a typewriter. I wrote him a thank-you note once I realized how amazing typewriters are. He answers all of his mail. I got a postcard from him about a month after I wrote him. I was so happy! :]
