I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Nelly Furtado looks old from the angle I am seeing her from.

Awww. She's beautiful.

Noah's still doing his job of being utterly adorable.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I went to Jamaican high school with Nadine Sutherland of whom none of you will have heard. She was in my year and pointedly mean to me, but she bumped into my mother recently and gushed how much she'd liked me.

Whatev.

English high school I was a year behind Helena Bonham Carter and a year ahead of Sarah Patterson. No real interaction with either.

University...well, the people I knew are easy to enumerate--hung out with Colin and John Rogers, and one of Colin's roommates went on to do Teen Titans Go! for DC which landed them all at Comic Con in one year and no one would have called that at all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The most famous person I know I went to college with is former Rep. Harold Ford, Jr., although there was a thing in the alumni magazine recently about the producer of all the really bad VH1 reality shows.

Oh, hi! Hi, Prince!!

(I didn't go to high school or college with Prince; he's just on my TV.)

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I went to college with some state legislators, but that's as good as I can do. Well, I guess some famous people went to my grad school, but I never saw any of them or paid any attention to who they might be.

My most ridiculously talented classmate

We had one of these who went to a great performing arts colleges after high school, but from what I've heard, I think that the adjustment to the wide world away from home was too much. I think part of it was that expectations were so high, too. She had the most amazing voice and could act like woah.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Violent Femmes, Arrested Development lead singer (Todd Thomas) - I think that's all I got. Todd I actually knew, at least to say hi to.

I feel like I should have someone famous. I don't think I do, though.

Meanwhile, The Time and Rhiannon (sp?) just did a fun little number. They were having fun. I love it when you can tell that.

Hey, Yoko's wearing a cream, satin top hat. V. cute.
