monday blues

for those of you who were reading a year ago (june 3rd to be exact), you'll recall that through divine intervention, i somehow got a hold of a certain showrunner's home address. TWICE. and this was like someone on the level of jerry bruckheimer, except not jerry bruckheimer. the first time i accidentally got some of this person's mail, it was just really cool. the second time, it was a sign from God. being the good christian, godfearing girl that i am, i decided to not only send the showrunner their mail back but also to send a script along with it and a warm and fuzzy letter of introduction/pleading. i figured this would either 1) get me arrested for harassment or 2) make a great opening segment on my E! true hollywood story.

actually, it did neither.

today, i received a package in the mail. as soon as i saw the return address (a law office) and the "Personal" mark on it, i knew what it was. my first thought was "shit! they're suing me a whole fucking year later. goddamnit." (after learning this morning that my car repair would cost a cool $680, being sued for the (imaginary?) federal offense of obtaining a personal address and using it for my own professional gain was the last thing i could afford to deal with.) however, when i opened the package, it simply contained my script and a form letter, stating how said showrunner does not accept unsolicited material. and nary a thank you for the mail that was conveniently missing from the envelope. you're welcome, bastards!
fortunately, i hadn't been holding my breath waiting on a response nor had i reserved any space on my vision board for them, so no harm done.

on a separate note, per the survey, i'm glad to see that a partner who can't read is a big deal to people. it is the one i voted for. and if you think about it, illiterate people generally have a more difficult time in the world, but some of the greatest minds in history went days without bathing. and i figured that if my partner could read, then he can read about how important it is to shower, how to control his unruly children and crack open Intercourse for Dummies. it's not a guarantee, but it's a start.

i've added a new survey.

i am a tad disgruntled today, L.A.
