Because all you really want to do in life is make up stories.

I can't remember why I wanted a new blog. I just did. And maybe because with the looming thought of a 2.5 hour band rehursal tonight, I needed cheaper therapy.
So I've started a second blog, just because I really can. That maybe reason enough for now.

A few summers ago, when some of us New Englanders were still trapped in the B.F. era*, my cousins and I started writting letters to each other. The computer upstairs was invented, possibly, by Prehistoric beasts, and worked as reliably as a blind platapus can yodel**. So no email. And, personally, I hate talking on the phone. So we wrote these letters instead. Oh, and they were always in some sort of code. That was the "fun" part. Some were actual codes that we took from those Spy magazines and different activity books. But most of them were random and frantic and beautiful lines and masses of squiggles, that we some how turned into our own language.
There is some joy of opening up the mailbox and seeing a letter waiting for you. A letter just is more personal in some sense than an e-mail or text message. I think Andy Rooney said something like this a week ago on 60 Minutes. Well, its obviously true. (Not just because Andy Rooney said it. Although, his word is practically law. So scratch that. Because Andy Rooney said it, it is true. Ha.)
As months past, we transitioned from writing in codes, to writing in complete and total madness. Not written like "Ohmygosh. I hate your face. Go die.***" but written in-madness? (I'm not explaining this correctly. Sorry.) We just wrote rediculous stuff. Crazy things. My cousin wrote a whole story about how she was going to marry one of my teachers, and that they were soul mates that met on a beach one summer, and my teacher saved 763 and a half people during his summer job as a life guard. Thats what I mean by madness. It was just rediculous. Biazzare****. Insane stuff that you would never imagine. We got rid of the letter format as well. Instead we wrote Newsletters to each other. And each issue was written about crazy topics like, "How to Train Your New Platapus (Part 1)" or "Buffy Killed Edward." (To be honest, I started writing this post a couple days ago, and haven't really looked at it since, so now I can't remember where I was going with this post...)


Ok. Well, thats my first post I guess.
And it really didn't go anywhere. But I may post some of the stories we wrote later, because most of them are just mildly amusing to read. (:

Adios.

*Before FiOS. Yes, we did live under a rock. Many of us still do.
**Erm.. Nevermind.
***My friend and I spent an afternoon just saying "Go Die" to each other in Sign Language, as fast as humanly possible. No, not disturbed. We just have too much time on our hands.
****I can't hear or see this word any more without thinking of Heidi Klum's face on last weeks (maybe 2 weeks ago..) episode of Project Runway. Oh, and just so I can prove that I can also see the future like Stephan Pastis, I am going to throw out my Project Runway predictions now...
The top three is going to be Seth Aaron, either Jay or Jonathan, and that lady who always designs black and white clothes.
I love Anthony with a passion. But I think that the judges will say that he might not be ready for Fashion Week. In other words, right now it is down to the best of the best, so to speak. And they might think that out of the group of awesome designers, Anthony might not produce a collection as strong as someone else. Same with Emilio. Except, I don't like him as much.
Jonathan is awesome. And I think to prove his place at Fashion Week, he needs to keep being awesome. (He is also from RI, like myself. So go Jonathan. We love you!)
Milya.. or Milla... or Mee-la... Or however you say her name... The lady who designs the same black and white stuff! Her. Well I think its going to be interesting how her future plays out... I think she has potential. But her attitude bothers me to no end. She seems really cocky most of the time. Cocky or cranky. Maybe both. But she always makes black and white clothing. Her clothes aren't horrible, but she seems completly lost without her straight foward black and white. (Micheal Kors said something like this as well. And its true.) So maybe the judges might think that her collection in Fashion Week will just be black and white... black and white... black and white... Oh look! Color! And wow.. That outfit with color sucked. More black and white... and more black and white. So I'm still not sure if she will make it to Fashion Week. Part of me hopes not. I think Maya, is a good designer, but she is the only one left who hasn't won anything yet.. But she also might be sent to Fashion Week because she hasn't produced a crappy outfit yet. (I thought for sure she would win the hardware store challenge.) So maybe she will make it to fashion week as well? Maybe they will also have four designers go, this season? That would be cool... But they have done that before... So they would have to find a different way to do it...

Ok. So my final prediction is:
Seth Aaron
Jonathon
B+W Lady
Maya

And I think Seth Aaron is going to win. (:
Ok. So I jsut seriously HOPE he's going to win.
