Cute.
I read and read this part though, and I think I know what you mean, but I just can't get it to make any sense:
And I... didn’t. Perry turned me away. My dreams of a job at the Planet--shattered. My hopes of meeting Lois were equally unattainable.
Didn't what? I assume you mean that he didn't get a job at the Planet but to me it doesn't really seem connected (grammatically speaking) to anything.
