It was obviously a piece of writing she cared about and it showed me that she's not just a walking smiley face; that she is also intelligent and passionate and willing to put herself out there.<br /><br />Twitter and all that make everyone look like idiots - it's all about (seemingly) spontaneous expressions, typed rapidly and with little care. Just get something out there. I'd rather not judge anyone by their twittering. (in fact, I'd rather ignore the whole phenomenom altogether, but that's just me, apparently.)Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049113750769117163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-20357604539229734822010-07-08T20:55:06.262-04:002010-07-08T20:55:06.262-04:00As much as I love Cheno, it sounds like she's ...As much as I love Cheno, it sounds like she's trying to get work. <br />On a side note, I waited on her a few times in my previous life as a retail clerk, and she was always lovely and sweet.<br />Amen on her Emmy nom for Glee.SoSueMenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-5870522921053547762010-07-08T18:12:17.361-04:002010-07-08T18:12:17.361-04:00Amanda, what are you talking about, it's been ...Amanda, what are you talking about, it's been very fashionable to hate Forrest Gump for a long time.<br /><br />As for me, FG sucks me in every time.

I almost always watch a few minutes of it when it appears on TV. I appreciate how ridiculous it is. <br /><br />and i have no problem with she-who-must-not-be-named either. lol. I liked her in Down with Love and as Bridget Jones. She could stand to keep on a few pounds and get rid of the perma-i'm sucking the life out of a lemon-look though.

She's an artist; I'm sure she can say something deeper than that.<br /><br />Again, she doesn't really *have* to but I just hate it when an actor, director etc is so damn uncomplicatedly nice.
