"Oh noes! I can't ask a second question via the question doohickey! (Is this a one-shot opportunity, Wicket?) (OH SHIT, IS THIS LIKE A GENIE SITUATION WHERE YOU ACCIDENTALLY BLOW ALL YOUR WISHES ASKING DUMB QUESTIONS ABOUT THE QUESTIONS?) (If so, I've now asked three questions so it's possible I'm fucked.) Anyway, Wicket, what I actually wanted to know is Why does your mommy have to live so far away from me? Because I would like to come over and play (DON'T YOU READ ANYTHING INTO THAT, INTERNETS). Very sincerely, vmarinelli."

Re: I was on Sesame Street for one episode in 1972 or 1973 because a friend of my mom worked on the show. On the day of the shoot, I remember waiting around in a dull office with some other kids until ... - http://brilliantorange.tumblr.com/post...
"Yo, darlin. There is a distinct lack of a paypal link up in this here Tumblr page. Yes, my long-suffering husband is still unemployed himself, and yes, we're still in demonstrably sucky straits, but I can, at least (no, make that "will," as in "don't even try to talk me out of this, lady"), put out a little call about how awesome you are, in which case it would be downright handy to have some means via which persons moved to do so could drop some repackaged good karma into your account. Failing that, I could provide your email address (hopefully the last one I have for you is still good), as this is all paypal needs to facilitate such transactions, but I couldn't do that (e.g., put your email address out there on my Tumblr and/or Twitter) without getting your blessing, first. (For spambot deflection, would at least make it like "username ~at~ domain.com" or whatever.) If the above notion doesn't work, there are other alternatives. Anyway, I'm so sorry you lost your job, that makes me..."

"YAY! I WIN! What do I win? (I've been wanting to post that for months, because that's exactly what it sounds like to me when Ernie starts braying, but I kept forgetting to look up the spelling until today.)"

"In my experience, "empowered survivor" is an oxymoron. (Not that it is, or ought to be that for everyone; just saying, it's been that for me.) When one's identity as a survivor overtakes one's identity as (whatever one was before: a writer, a singer, etc.) in terms of how one is perceived by others, it's about as "empowering" as the original trauma itself. Or else I'm just a bitter old survivor (of various things), still nauseous from years of being pigeon-holed as such. In any event, I fully agree with your premise, and am grateful you expressed it here."

My daughter (though not a Governor's School student) volunteered with this. She came back with lots of disgust about corporate event sponsorship (and the laziness of her peers). That's my girl.
