Ask Galatea


Here's a running list of questions I get asked a lot in reader e-mails. I'll just give you these answers upfront, so you can focus the bulk of your correspondence on telling me how lovely and smart and fabbity I am. 

As always, I can be reached at the world's most alliterative e-mail address: Galatea.George@Gmail.com

FAQ: 
Where do you live? 
Chicago, Peaches, greatest city on earth (for now)! 

Where are you from? 
I won't get more specific than to say I'm from the rural South and quite proud of that. 

How old are you? 
25 years old 

What do you do for a living? 
I work in the finance department of a huge company in The Loop. One day I hope I can make it on writing alone. 

Why do you have this blog? 
It's a project I began to force myself to write every day for a year. Now I'm just flat-out having fun with it. 

What is your favorite color? 
Pink. But fishnet stockings pink, not ballerina pink. 

Do you date readers? 
Sorry, Peaches, but all you have to do is read a few days' worth of entries to realize I have my hands full with the boys I've got. 

Can we meet in person? 
Okay, here's the deal, Loves. I'm sure you're a wonderful person, but the internets are full of psychos, and a girl can't be too careful. So, sorry, but the answer has to be no.

Do you hate men? 
Oh, I've been getting this one since college and I'm sick of it! For some reason, people think if you don't worship guys and go along with their every whim, you're some kind of ball-buster. You know what, my father is a man, and I have nothing but respect for the species. That said, some individual members of the group can be extraordinarily stupid. 

AND THEN THIS ONE... Are you secretly in love with Edward? 
Jim Caviezel on the cross, you people do have some theories! My life may play like a romantic dramady oftimes, but it's not ever going to be When Harry Met Sally. It is possible for men and women to be friends on a complete platonic, loving, supportive level and never get romantically involved. (See how I don't hate the men?) And anyway, if I ever do fall for Edward through some freak combination of amnesia and nuclear holocaust, he'll be the first to know, not you. 

Hope that clears some things for you. Now back to your regularly scheduled grovelling.
