Diablo Cody checks in from Manifesto Nation
The only thing wrong with the rant is that it ought to be eleventy-seven times longer, as Diablo Cody cranks the HVAC at her MySpace blog: "I know my name is fake and that it annoys you. What, do you hate Queen Latifah and Rip Torn, too? Writers and entertainers have been using pseudonyms for years. Chances are, 
you're spewing bile under an assumed screen name yourself. I'm sorry if you think I'm like some inked-up quasi-Suicide Girl derby cunt from 2002, but I like my fake name. It's engraved on an Oscar. Yours isn't. Listen: I've been telling stories my whole life. Even when I was a phone sex operator, I was the Mark Twain of extemporaneous jerk-off fiction. I took every perspiring creep on a fucking journey. I don't know how to do anything else... I'm in love, I just bought a house, and my boss made E.T. I kind of have to focus on reality."
