The "You" series

You want to clarify something. You've got this idea about a protagonist, "You" who is mostly a point of view, moreso than it is you. A collection of criticisms, commentaries and needless complications, based solely on your experiences to be fictionalized, functionalized and fractionalized for literary effect. You consider the Seeing Red post an example. The series is partially inspired by Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas, which you believe to be a hilarious book written entirely in the second person point of view. You think that is clever, but what do you know?

You want to point the idea out, because of your perception of the kind comments on the Seeing Red post. You realize, however, that post was as much inspired by the conjunction of Christmas decor and check card fraud as it was something that happened to you. If it hadn't happened to you on that particularly festive day at Starbucks though, you'd probably never have mentioned it. But, you liked the irony since 'tis the season to be spending, though, you acknowledge that jolliness never hurt anyone. However, you feel that you don't need a season for jolliness, but only a playmate.
