jlhSo, like, you guys? How awesome was the last episode? How sad are we that there's no new episodes until the fall? How glad am I that Six Feet Under starts in two weeks and will carry me through the summer? How sad am I to not read that first sentence at the start of Couch Baron's recaps until September?
Other than just the high quality of the show itself and the pleasure of the viewing experience itself, I think the most amazing thing for me about Veronica Mars was being in on the beginning of a cultural event, which is something I haven't been since I got on LJ.
But when I saw the preview for VM at the UPN presentation last May I was intrigued, and when I saw the first episode in September I called CC and said, "I've found your new show." How proud I am to have been right in that assessment. How fun it was to watch the people following the show slowly grow as the season went on, not only on LJ but in the country. How happy I was to see the good reviews and the press and UPN buying the show for the full year and then renewing it early. How hopeful I am that Kristen Bell will be at least nominated, if not win, an Emmy for her work this fall. (Jason and Enrico, too!)
Thanks, slaverat; it was a great ride. See you in September!
The only quibble I have with this is, again, it's about what I prefer, not like, what I'm good at or what I know. I mean, I did well on my Calculus AP exam. I tested out of college math. I think I liked math and science because I was pretty good at them, and I could understand them. I just have found that ultimately, I'm more interested in people and their behavior than in things and how they work or look. Which is no value judgment as if other people weren't more interested in things and how they work we wouldn't have any things that work, and if other people weren't more interested in things and how they look we wouldn't have any pretty. So yay for difference!

| Your brain: 160% interpersonal, 80% visual, 140% verbal, and 20% mathematical! |
| Congratulations on being 400% smart! Actually, on my test, everyone is. The above score breaks down what kind of thinking you most enjoy doing. A score above 100% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 100% means you use it less. It says nothing about how good you are at any one, just how interested you are in each, relatively. A substantial difference in scores between two people means, conclusively, that they are different kinds of thinkers. Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice, which I think is obvious:
