I love the universe. She provides. Aside from my personal moment of revenge<\/a> from this morning (which really isn’t a huge deal, it was just a sweet moment of symmetry where I felt vaguely vindictive and satisfied, like a dictator or something) – a beautiful and funny and perfect thing just happened.<\/p>\n

If you have been paying attention, you know that a reader got upset. You know, he didn’t like the focus on “your junior high school friends about puppy love crushes.” You know, he thought he was on a serious film site<\/i> and he balked at me, uhm, writing about what I want to write, for free. Please let’s not dwell on it. I’m already sick of it. What I want to focus on is the comment I JUST GOT on an old post I wrote. Literally, the comment came in 10 minutes ago from a person I have never heard from before, she probably got there through a Google search.<\/p>\n

I have written at length (thank God Oliver wasn’t around for that! His head would have exploded) about how much I loved a TV movie from my childhood called Orphan Train<\/i>, with Jill Eikenberry who played a Victorian-era woman who took a group of street kids by train out West to find them homes. Based on a true story. I LOVED Orphan Train<\/i>. I DIED for Orphan Train<\/i>. I loved it so much that I basically, at age 11, wrote it all out in novel-form. Because it was before the days of a VCR in every house, and I just didn’t know when I would ever see it again!<\/p>\n

For a time there, I was posting “chapters” from my “novel” of Orphan Train<\/i> (again, because it amuses me) – and please go to the post right now and see the comment I just received<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sometimes you don’t have to wait 7 years to settle the score.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it only takes 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Rachel!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
