I am suspicious of any mass medium that claims that it can save people's lives. That said, I still really love Alias. Jennifer Garner could save my life any day, and I would be absolutely fine with that.

This was me last year (2003):
"Wow, complete brain melt down on this one. They ask you to answer a variation of this question in graduate school all the time and I am pretty sure I come off as a remedial
kindergartener everytime I try to answer it succintly and
eloquently. Pre-linguistic, even. I am also pre-
linguistic in the morning before I have my coffee. I
speak to my fabulous roommate Monica in grunts and squints of
the eye. I'm thinking about dyeing my hair five shades darker
than it currently is. This would be a huge thing for me.
I eat more corn cherry scones than I would like to admit."

(December 2004):
"Hair: five shades darker - check ( but in need of a re-dye so BADLY)
Corn Cherry Scorn obsession - under control finally
Roommate - I now growl at Joanne; Monica moved to loft upstairs so I rarely see her
Language Skills - seems to suffice; they don't seem to want to reconsider their decision to accept me to the program
Self-Effacement and Deprecation - will only get worse the older i get, I fear...'

2005:
If we'd stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time.

2003:
"I met Hayley Mills' son over the summer and had a complete
freak out. So I think meeting Hayley Mills would be a
total trip. Yes, definitely, Hayley Mills"

2005:
all my dopplegangers and the dopplegangers of my loved ones...my own bizarro world...

June 2005: people who still possess a child-like sense of wonder at this beautiful and crazy ridiculous world
