So what to report since our last meeting. Well Hollie is now doing more work experience in the children’s department of that place where she does work experience. Whooo kids books for everyone! Also she met Gillian McKeith at a party last week and confirmed previous suspicions that she looks like an angry camel (Gillian that is not Hollie). It appears that publishing houses have a strict policy on hiring staff; in contrast with the fashion-esque norm in publicity, things are a bit more relaxed in the children’s department. On stepping into Editorial today it quickly became clear that this is where the size 14s hide, far from the judgemental eyes of the Cosmo fashionista wannabe’s. All huge generalisations of course.
Sarah spent yesterday at the National Archives (it was like being back at University) researching for the documentary/TV drama we are writing (humm that sounds a bit grand, it’s not really). So as you can see we are actually doing things. How exciting. But fear not, still no sign of imminent employment.
Something we know you are all dying for us to tell you… now Big Brother is over and Sarah has watched every episode of Scrubs ever released, what are we doing with our spare time? Well don’t worry kids because fortunately for all concerned the new Season (7) of America’s Next Top Model started last night. It was as if they heard our call and answered with fantastically bitchy wanna be model drama. Go Tyra!
Continuing on from the last blog’s theme of using rhetorical questions to set up long rambling answers or indeed entire episodes of Sex in the City we have come up with another one.
How Many Friends Is Too Many Friends?
It has been brought to our attention that you can indeed have too many friends so we had a ruthless cull of ours a while back. The advantages of this were that we have fewer people to try and keep in contact with so fewer laborious e-mails about what we are not doing with our lives and fewer phone calls. It also means that we don’t have to feel bad when we can’t see them for months and then get guilt tripped into expensive catch up dinner. Also (and most importantly for us) it means we get fewer inquiries about what we are doing, meaning we then have to reply ‘nothing’ to those expectant faces - only to see them drop a bit as we go down in their estimations.
However this cull may have backfired on us as it now seems that we have no friends left at all – apart from each other that is. So what do we do now? Try and get back some of the old ones or just make new ones. Or does it just not matter? In today’s fast moving and consumer driven society who needs friends anyway?
