yay Jilli!

and you DO know what you're doing! Seriously, how many people, when giving a list of what you need for a goth wardrobe, would start off with lint rollers?

Sooo, that Super Secret Project I've been alluding to, and was in Portland over the weekend for? I've been hired as a consultant for an indie movie. I'm being paid to be a professional Goth. And there is a very good chance I will end up as an Associate Producer for it; my agent and the movie people are working out contract details.

Woo Hoo, Jilli!!! That is awesome!

Of course, I keep swinging back and forth between "This is totally awesome! Go me!" and "I have tricked people into believing I know what I'm doing, ohshit." I'm trying to pay more attention to the first part.

Jilli, you are talented and amazing, and if you doubt that come back here and we'll remind you again.

Jilli, I think that is fantastic. When all is public, you do know you need to do some kind of commentary reel that we will all listen to as we encounter the movie in various forms and formats.

I will buy it!

"This is totally awesome! Go me!"

Correct.

"I have tricked people into believing I know what I'm doing, ohshit."

As incorrect as the denial of the Oxford comma.

Jilli, that's very exciting! I can't wait to hear more about this project when you have the ability to talk about it openly.

le nubian, I'd highly recommend meeting with a nutritionist/dietician specifically schooled in diabetic nutrition. It's a whole different food world out there now for you, and this can help you set a baseline for what's good and not, as well as ensure you get the right information to make smart choices.

Ha! I will have to remember to tell that response to my therapist; she will approve.

Thanks, gang! I should be able to really REALLY talk about things at the beginning of September. It's all so crazy!

That's terrific, Jilli!

Jilli, that's awesome!

Fantabulous, Jilli! So excited for you.

Yay, Jilli!

I've been diabetic for years, and today I caved and started taking insulin. I feel like a complete failure for not having been able to take care of this without going to the needle. Fortunately I've got a pen thing and I only have to take it once a day, instead of a hypodermic and multiple injections where I have to eat within a certain amount of time or bad things happen. And despite what I've been told in the past, it is possible to go off the stuff if I get my weight down etc.

Because garlic cheddar mashed potatoes make my soul happy, and I won't live in a world without spuds.

Jilly, that is absolutely splendid! I can't wait to hear more details when you're free to give them.
