I might be the one person you were referring to, regarding J.T. Leroy, so thank you. I just hate hearing a tiny percent of the story, and the person who’d told me about this strangeness about a month ago didn’t know what the hell had actually gone on. Which is understandable. But left me curious.
Satisfied.
Thanks again,
Joan
Ah, you fell for the time-honored BS outing trick. I have decided it’s okay not to know the whole story if you realize that working up the requisite level of enthusiasm takes more energy than you expend in the average day. Hmm, maybe there’s a formula I can create to calculated this.
