Nice^ thanks

Consider this: who would make the ideal essay writer for this project? George Orwell? Walter Lippman? Willy Loman? Joan Didion? Blanche Du Bois?

Thanks for bringing in such a wonderful and talented person, Heidi! An Insomniac’s Slumber Party with Marilyn Monroe is my favorite book.

I bought the postcard, propped it on my desk. We gazed at each other. What did I know about Marilyn Monroe—nothing really—blonde bombshell, actress, married to Joe DiMaggio, Arthur Miller, something about the Kennedys, died young, suicide?

A great song is "Skylark."

I get ideas from people who make new things. How great it is to see something new being made

I've always been interested in how I would do on an iq test. I thought it was hard and took a lot of time
