Y'all are funny. Allyson is cute.

If you don't make it past this point, is getting this far the kind of thing that can still propel you forward?

Absolutely. I'm now a two-time Disney semi-finalist, which looks really good on a cover letter. (Though I'd prefer to be a finalist or, even better, a fellow.) Case in point, one of my friends mentioned the Disney thing to someone we know and now there is a possibility that, if the Disney thing doesn't happen and said someone's boss's show gets picked up, I might be able to get a writer's assistant gig.

But, most importantly, I heard some really wonderful things about my writing in my interview yesterday and I am more confident now that I don't completely suck.

My life has gone from zero to surreal in six weeks.

But it's a good surreal, which is wonderful.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

What Jilli said.

Oh it's the best kind of surreal ever. It's just, you know, weird.

Eventually, it will sink in. I think.

Oh, that's great.

I hope the surreal continues, in the best way possible.

Kristen, why are you awake?

Seriously! God, this week, are all of us going to be awake at the same time, twiddling our thumbs?


Kristen - Nov 20, 2005 2:49:28 am PST #6320 of 10001

Well, at least we'll have plenty of alcohol.

ETA: And thank you, Nilly!

There's an Israeli story about the green village, in which everything was green: green houses, green cars, green toads, green people. And one day, a green person got out of his green house, went inside his green car, and on his drive along the green road, while humming a green song, he saw a blue man. And the blue man said "me? I'm from a different story altogether".

That's how I feel when I have to think about timezones and who-should-be-awake-when and people just getting up when I finish my lunch. I'm the blue man from the different story. In the most interesting way possible, of course. I wouldn't know how to visit the green world any other way.

Kat, I know! Why are we awake? At least (I think that) you and I have gotten some sleep, and are just up way too early) while I suspect Kristen is still awake.
