Can I make a list of things I want, now?

Okay. So I'll need a lifetime drive-on for the lot, a parking spot, oh, and I'll need vet the new assistant so s/he understands how important I am. None of this, "...and you are?" when I call.

My favorite is, "Who may I say is calling?"

"Allyson."

".....from?"

"His personal life?"

Heh.

Where's the darned IMDB entry? This is the internet age, people. I want instantly accessible information at my fingertips.

eta...

from his personal life

I called my mother at work (after I was well into adulthood) one day, and someone new answered the phone. She asked if she could tell my mum who was calling. I said, "Please tell her it's her daughter." She said, "Can I have your name, please?"

You never know... I've had my father ask "who is this?" after I opened a phone call with "Hi, Dad." And I'm an only child.

Heh. I'm an only child, too. Maybe our parents share a brain, as well. I'm pretty sure I got that from my father more than once, but then again, his hearing was damaged when he was in the Navy. My mother has gotten my middle name wrong at least once (which is her own mother's name).

Oh! And don't forget to invite me to the wrap party.

My brother calls my cousin John and always gives his name as a sports figure of some sort. His secretary recognizes his voice now, so she'll buzz John and say "It's your cousin, Ty Cobb."

KRISTEN! Holy asscaps! That's AWESOME! The word "awesome" has now lost all further meaning. I shall say "brilliant!" instead. BRILLIANT.

Tim, good catch! This should lead to brilliant conversations here! "You know that thing we're gonna do?" "The thing we can't tell them about?" Yeah, that thing! Well, I thought of a way to make it even awesomer!" "Great! Don't tell anyone!" ARGH

Also, great news!

Uh. Could we, maybe, hold off on the starting of fansites until I've done some actual, you know, work? I'm a superstitious girl.

Thanks again, everyone!

I'm glad that the news is finally out since I was worried that Allyson was going to explode. (Please take a moment to admire her restraint.) And it's very sweet how excited y'all are for me. Though possibly not as excited as my family. My mom's response was, "THANK YOU, GOD!" Followed by, "SEVEN YEARS!!!" hee

Also, to answer some earlier questions:

Now, who's this new guy, Greg Yaitanes?

Greg's not a new guy. He directed the pilot. So he's one of those director/executive producer types. Tim's still the dude who runs the show.

Btw it doesnt belong here I know, but did you hear anything of the writer fellowship yet?

I didn't even get a call this year, Kessie. In fact, no one I know who made it to the finals last year got a call this year. There's a new sheriff in town over there and the whole program seems to be changing. I can't say that I'm too broken up over it though because this is better than any fellowship. Though Monique's husband does want me to print business cards with the tagline, "Suck it, Disney."

I'll delete it, now. I didn't pimp it anywhere, anyhow. It was just a little fun, here. Sorry to tweak your superstitions.
