Preppy is the New Hipster

If you don't know already. Sedaratives are awesome, and you should read them. I have discovered while browsing through the free content on the website that Amy often lets guests answer in her place. Last night, I was tired, but feeling particularly clever(1.5 gin&tonics) and thought Amy should let me answer the questions. I wrote the following email:

Dear Sedaratives,

I was wondering if I could be the guest respondent to Sedaratives for an upcoming issue of the Believer? My friends are always asking my advice. I always give truthful responses to tough questions like: Should I cheat on my girlfriend? Do I wear too much perfume? How concerned should I be about my cankles (calf-ankles if you didn't already know)?

I think I could handle more challenging ones too. You can test me if you want. If you don't want me to do it, since I am a nobody (I keep telling people I am going to write a book someday, but I don't know how much truth is in that. I also said I was going to learn to play bridge, and I don't even know how many decks of cards you are supposed to use), can you get Alec Baldwin to do it? It would be super if he could respond as the character he used to play in 1990s movies.

Thanks for your time, if you bother reading this.

Best Regards,
