Twenty-nine. Things of little overall significance.

My afternoon today was swallowed by the Project Runway marathon on Bravo; I blame you, Shannon and Dagmara, but in a good way. The drama! The clothes! Today was lazy, the weather and the tension giving me a little ache on either temple that I've been chasing away with a peppermint-caffeine balm and a refusal to take off my fuzzy slippers. I skid on

Sob I missed the marathon. I've seen most of them but I missed the last episode and some of the first ones. I like to write in a notebook with a rollerball pen - purple is my favorite.

I envy people the collage experience and even the normal highschool one. But I guess we all have to go through life in our own way.

I've never seen that film of yours, but I've seen most of the others.

I missed the very end of Project Runway in its first showing. I've never shouted at the television over a pair of shoes before, but I did today. Rollerball pens are wonderful, though I favor stark black ink.

My high school experience was called 'filming American Pie'. I lived it through film, I'm afraid.

As for Sugar and Spice, lots of people really love it, although in some ways it's a terrible bomb. It will live on forever in cable repeats, because everybody likes caper movies with bankrobbing cheerleaders.

College isn't exactly some kind of cure-all that makes you more ready for life. Trust me. All it did for me was feed into an aura of invincinbility that made it that much harder for me to re-adjust when I couldn't make it as a pro football player.

Playing college ball made me feel like I could conquer the world. Little did I know that the world isn't meant to be conquered. You just have to work as hard as you can to find your place within it.

I'm not sure I see college as a cure-all, exactly; it's just one of those things I really acutely feel like I missed, that I would have wanted to do. With or without a degree, I can't say I'm doing badly for myself in life, but I really enjoy learning and have always wanted to go back to school.

I don't know why I didn't comment this sooner. First hjsaksaf Project Runway. My new addiction is Celebrity Poker, and I don't even know what's wrong with me, I barely know how to play poker.

I have a degree. I haven't done anything with it. I haven't found it to be door-opening and it doesn't make me any likelier to get roles since I have a theatre degree from Carnegie Mellon. But I do think there's something in having that preparation and groundwork that only really comes from education. I'm old-fashioned that way though.

[menaasuvari]

Bravo does reality series in some way that really pulls a person in, I don't know.

It's preparation I may be seeking lately; the very word.

I never went to college either, in fact, I dropped out of high school at 16. There are times I look back on it and regret missing out on the intellectual conventions and people that I never got a chance to meet...but...I'm really happy with this life I lead. I really wouldn't change a thing. I may sound dreamy and silly for saying so, but I guess I've always been that way. I think you are a brilliant girl, Mena. You lead a very interesting life and I know there are lots of people who look up to you. So you must have made a lot of good choices to have so many people adore you like I do. :)

Sugar and Spice...haha. Oh that was a good time.

[menaasuvari]

Sugar and Spice was our staggering work of comedic genius. Too many people tell me so. If it were just one or two, I'd think otherwise, but no, it's lots of people.

I don't know about brilliant, but the rest I'll thank you for. I do realize that book learning isn't the be-all and end-all, actually; I think it's just that I really deeply love and yen for that kind of learning and I've missed it for the last ten years or so now.

I was always under the impression that /most/ people just kept their degrees up on the wall and occasionally dust them. Though I can certainly understand the craving for that sort of education. I think I need to start taking better books with me on these trips.

Oddly, I think you just gave me an idea for your next birthday. I'm going to have to go trolling now.

[menaasuvari]

GREG! You're not dead or completely abandoning updates in favor of "Robots"!

Birthday presents? Well, you've got almost a whole year to plan. Eeeee.

[g_kinnear]

Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated. Though given I seem to be in the middle of absolutely nowhere at the moment, and I'll be lucky to get a solid four hours of sleep before I need to be perky and in front of a microphone, this could be the afterlife. Or maybe just limbo.

Whole year. Good, good. I may need it. (now, if -that- didn't come off as ominous...)
