I was talking to Dixie Chick the other day and we mentioned a mutual friend who has the ten ton stones to wear a sweatshirt with a quote on it–a quote that he came up with. Mind you it’s a good quote but it’s the most public and glaring form of self-love I’ve ever seen in my life. It really goes a step beyond narcissism. It’s not just loving yourself, it’s like public masturbation it’s so much love.
It’d be like me reviewing my own book and saying it’s the best thing I’ve ever read and then QUOTING myself on my book cover. I almost wish I had that much moxie, but then I realize I’d be a little too in love with myself to be fun for anyone else. And really, public sex (ie-being fun for someone else) is way more entertaining than public masturbation. At least you’re not the only one arrested when it’s all over with.
