Why Augusten Burroughs should want to meet me
I think Augusten should meet me because we had a nearly identical childhood (sort of f**d up, but I wouldn’t change a thing). Actually, we have the same name (Come on, Augusten, what’s wrong with the real thing?) we were born 2 months and 2 days apart, and I had a hard time watching my mom get ready to go out or to work every day. I bought the soundtrack and was instantly transported back to the days when my oldest brother would blast his 8 track player to the same music when I was trying to go to sleep…we shared a bedroom, so the only way I could drown it out was to turn on a box fan right in front of my bed on high & drift off to a Thin Lizzie induced slumber. It was fun. I think he would like to meet me.
