Hopefully none of my professors are reading this, though at this point it can’t do much harm – I’ve been getting my Master’s in English at NYU. Some of my classes were very good, but on the whole I wish I had done something else with the past two years.

Cold climates do have some great childhood moments – I love skating and sledding – but you so rarely get to do them. Give me shirt-sleeves in December any day.

And, as always, love your tags.

I do not consider a warm climate as something that makes the childhood more idyllic.

I thought tim was funny, and it was kinda fun getting her going.

No, I don’t scream mirandize at the screen for normal interview stuff. I just assume that they’ve already done it off screen. No, it’s the spontaneous confessions I scream it for, where they weren’t expecting the person to say anything, and so clearly wouldn’t have mirandized off screen.

Funny thing? American tv is so full of miranda that in other countries when people get arrested, they often assert miranda rights, which they don’t actually have in their country.

…..and anyway, aside from legally blonde, what lawyer films have you watched with me?

Thank you!! My sisters are all living out of town this year for the first time ever, and it has been depressing for me. I’m close with all of them and I get forlorn with no sisters time.

I know, it’s a great opportunity! I was hoping so much that this would be the one I’d get, because of the proximity to my lovely sister. 🙂

Thank you! Have you applied for editorial internships and stuff? There are loads of them out there. I was incredibly lucky as an undergraduate to have a research assistant job that gave me the opportunity to do some editing work. I expect that’s why this press agreed to have me in spite of my obvious unimpressiveness. 😛

Well, I appreciate your fondness for us and Daddy, but I think my childhood was more idyllic than yours. What with living in a warm climate, and Daddy being around all the time and not traveling, and not getting our hands hit with wooden spoons, and no nuns! And no school uniforms, and the word “y’all” – and anyway, I’m just saying, your vote may not be a reliable one.
