11:01 PM me: yo, what's going on?
11:02 PM Hilarie: i hate being a lawyer it blows
me: again?
Hilarie: but the economy sucks
and i have to stay here until it gets better
unless you can hook me up with a job in LA
anyways hows nyc
11:03 PM me: pretty good, I'm writing for the NYC print version of The Onion now and just got a weekly column with another publication in Brooklyn
so I'm all New Yorky now
11:04 PM Hilarie: thats funny
me: still working on that gay case?
Hilarie: ya
11:05 PM me: lot of time and effort being put into that
Hilarie: well any case takes a lot of time and effort
it seems like a fucking waste
because it is
but i am learning to be an asshole and have no interests outside work, so i guess thats good
11:06 PM i wish i were really rich so that i didnt have to work
then i would do something i wanted
but i dont think i am willing to be poor yet
11:07 PM me: rright
being poor isn't that bad
I've done it for years
Hilarie: ya i know
but i like having nice things
and living in nice place
and having a maid
11:08 PM even if i had the time, i wouldnt know how to clean or cook
me: neither do I
Hilarie: what i really want to do is have a family though
i would be fine being poor if i had a family
but being both poor and single is unacceptable to me
11:09 PM are you happy?
me: yep
Hilarie: im miserable
what should i do?
me: quit your job
11:10 PM Hilarie: and do what?
me: something else that you enjoy more
11:11 PM Hilarie: i dont know what the fuck i enjoy anymore
11:13 PM although
there is a job at my old college
scripps
that wouldnt be bad for a whlie
but i doubt it pays that much
and it costs a lot to live in LA
11:14 PM me: you should get out of LA as well
Hilarie: where should i go?
me: New York
much more fulfilling
Hilarie: i dont believe that
its cold there
i hate the cold
me: I've spent time in both places, New York is better
11:15 PM I also hate the cold, but it's only winter
Hilarie: i dont have friends there and dont want to move again
if i moved it would be back to dallas
me: wow
Hilarie: im not
i like LA
i like my friends here
11:16 PM so what do you think about?
me: just my work
11:17 PM Hilarie: what have you been writing about lately?
11:18 PM me: been doing more stuff for Vanity Fair, working on my second book which is coming out next year, covering local stuff for various publications
