3. My protag is a slob; this is part of my character development.
2. I’m saving money. Pizza boxes double as transcript mailers.

You're awesome! Thanks for giving me some new exuses to write instead of cleaning house. (The old ones were becoming clichéd, and you know we writers have to avoid clichés like the plague.)I especially like 3 & 4.
Hey, nothing wrong with our house. Just because we have nothing to wear (and a laundry pile threatening to erupt Mt. St. Helen style), nothing to eat, and can't find the kids underneath the piles (oh, wait, we don't have kids) does NOT mean that I'm a neglectful housekeeper.
Yeah, I need to print this off and show to my hubby!
This is great! How about:
Leaping over piles of books and stacks of paper on the floor is my new excerise routine!
Hilarious! I'm telling you that you need to compile these suckers and do a proposal for a nonfiction book to encourage writers! There are at least 1,000 guaranteed sales on the loop alone. :)
I gotta agree with #4! Funny stuff!
ROFL!!! Brilliant! Won't work in my house, though.
