Phoenix - oh snickerdoodle, Chuck is writing about me.....
Unfortunately, Chuck will never get to hear this... but he just wrote about me. My name, now, is Reggie Phoenix. My soon-to-be-ex-wife Jennifer and I both changed our last name to Phoenix many years ago. She and I ARE that couple in the story. We don't have a blind daughter, our house didn't burn down. But those "characters" are us. To a T. We're about to get divorced now, and even reading that story...called Phoenix... I get fucking chills thinking about it. I still can't tell if I'm the fucked up one, or she is, or what to do about the fact that basically we're both stupid. Chuck... I want you to KNOW how heavily this piece hit me. I am a huge fan. Have been for years. I actually got to ask a question of you when you were in Minneapolis last year. I am almost in tears typing this.
Thank you Chuck Palahniuk. Thank you.
Exactly.
Hello new person.
We must know more about you now. What sort of sammich?
My Mum lived in Phoenix before. Is it about me too?
Chuck used my middle name repeatedly in Fight Club. All his books and stories since then have been about me. So, no.
My middle name, by the way, is The.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Awww...you guys are always so sweet. Not jaded or misanthropic at all!
Yeah, I get it. Chuck wasn't writing about me specifically. If you weren't pessimisstic lump of feces, you would have been able to appreciate that some Chuck fan was able to find emotional solice in Chuck's work, and wanted to say Thank you to him.
I hope you do get to meet him.
Followed by a beautifully-worded restraining order.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Poor guy.
I never said I needed to meet him, not do I have any desire to stalk him. However, I do have what can only be referred to as a "man crush" for Chuck.
I have had "man crush's" before.
Um. crushes on men. I mean.
I have a soda called Man Crush. The can has a picture of a man's hand aggressively crushing an empty can. Actually, I changed my mind it's an energy drink.

Sorry to disappoint you. This is a public forum, not Chuck's personal email inbox.
I love how everyone on here thinks they are naturally smarter than everyone else. It's almost cute.
Yes, I know this isn't Chuck's personal mailbox. In fact, he's not receiving fan mail at all right now. Thank you for your attempts at condescention. I appreciate it.
Now, go back your self inflated ego. Have fun with that.
Has anyone said anything about intelligence at all? Other than you, I mean; you keep going on about it.
You're very sensitive.
This is why we can't have nice things.
I can't tell if this person is trolling or not.
Fail either way.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Just because you didn't use the phrase "I'm more intelligent than you" doesn't mean you're not behaving as such.
I'm not a troll. I'm just a Chuck fan, and have been for many years. I had a profile on here since '09, but it got lost and now I have on from 10/2011.
I liked his story. He's not receiving mail. I just wanted to exlcaim how good I thought it was, in a forum for Chuck fans, because it meant something to me.
I know he's not writing about me. I know it's just a bunch of random coincidences. My sensitivity is that none of you seem capable of just saying "Oh cool man. I'm glad that meant something to you." Or even just silently appreciated that someone else out there in the world, who also loves Chuck, was having a positive experience.
But oh no, I must be a newbie. Or a troll. And clearly I must be delusional and think Chuck is speaking directly to me. And I must want to stalk him now too. All of these assumptions imply that you think little of me or my experience, simply because you didn't like the way I phrased my post. So, no, you haven't come right out and said you were more intelligent...but you sure seem quick to put me down to make yourself feel better.
You're carrying a heck of a lot of preconceived notions with you there.

ONE person was mildly sarcastic toward you at first. Another was very friendly and curious about you.
And your reaction to that was... "ALL OF YOU PEOPLE ARE LUMPS OF FECES."
So...
I wasn't mildly sarcastic, I was pointing and laughing.
If pointing and laughing at people is wrong, I don't want to be right.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Come to think of it, I think pointing and laughing at people is actually wrong.
Sorry guy!
This is why we can't have nice things.
I watched a Phoenix Suns game last night. This story actually is about me, isn't it?
So I guess he doesn't want any lobster then either...
I find it unfortunate that this person became this upset.
I find it entertaining. What a douche.

So...
pepper and miss rosie were actually friendly. And were abruptly ignored.
Then he went on about intelligence, and wanting to meet but not needing to meet Chuck. And some blanket insults to "ALL", and explaining why he/she has hurt feelings in a forum of Chuck fans, and being compelled to express one's self in fan forum, but how the fans were inflated intelligence. *sigh*
clearly I'm the douchebag. I withdrawal.
Withdraw*

I like withdrawal better...narwhalal...drawal...crawlawl...bawlawl.
You had me at Narwhalal!
Dangit, I'll have to post my spankin' fresh meme on internet thread.
No worries. We all say something joust worthy. Good luck, Ouroburos. Hope you find your holy grail of chuckness.
It just won't post. I slaved over that meme, and this is the thanks I get? BOO quickmeme!
huh, that's weird.

I feel like a newbie again.
