Still can't get enough of Emily.

Hi Emily.
So this is the point in the Emily movie where Emily decides to pursue Academia by becoming a bespectacled Professor and we are thwarted through the time/space portal to watch “Emily, Aged” (Jamie Lee Curtis? I don’t know, I don’t do casting) change lives with her revolutionary thoughts. We see her jumping on desks, flippantly taking irreverent jabs at the government, sometimes not wearing underwear, demanding free-association introspective writing diaries from her freshmen every other week…then, all the students write her a symphony while she’s coaching high school basketball and her deaf son yells “Carpe Diem”!
For what it’s worth, you have spawned all of THIS. Cool. You are like Moses! All of the Hebrew children are talking about the spliced red sea, not just the ones who live for American Idol but the pretentious “bookish” ones! Plus, we’re all still hanging out at red sea rock bottom: our laptops are great hiding places, our ‘publish’ buttons conveniently remove the “think before you…” censor. So. Lest we all not judge. Or! Judge Emily = Judge Yourself. (I think I’ll make t-shirts.)
Joking aside: You write fantastically. I thought the article was honest. It inspired me to do much thinking about my own writing -how I use the medium of “blog” to express myself in this big, big world- along with much writing about my own writing, writing about your writing, and some other writing that has nothing to do with much of anything, but you should still be credited for inspiring it. Thanks.
We are listening and talking – thanks for leading. A+ group discussion.
