To the Other Me's

To the Other Me's (assuming parallel universes/worlds as described in Brian Greene's The Hidden Realty which I am currently reading):

Hello, Other Me's, Other Me's with slight variations.  Are you blogging right now as well?  Have you been more ambitious in your Thirty Day Projects than me?  Did one of you go for painting?  (Show off.  But also, good for you.) 
Has anyone landed a full-time job yet?  Will you let me know how you managed it?  Maybe the economy isn't so bad in that section of the universe?  I hope everyone's making at least minimum wage.  Is anyone actually putting their degree to good use?
No one's had kids yet, have they?  I at least hope, if anyone has, the kids aren't too old?  No one got knocked up as a teenager, right?  You have to watch out for yourself, ladies.  Save those things for when you're good and ready. 
How many of you are still living with your sister?  Hands up, who never left St. Louis?  Ooh!  Who actually managed to land a job those two weeks you were in KCK and are now located out there?  Did anyone manage to get out to the Pacific Northwest?  What about Scotland?  Who found a way to get back out there semi-permanently?
Anyone make it to grad school?  Please tell me one of you at least got accepted to Harvard or MIT.  How many theses are in the works right now?  U of T in Austin for Linguistic Anthropology anyone?  Maybe hanging out with your other sister? 
How many have long hair right now?  Will you send me pictures?  I need inspiration and motivation for my own attempts.
Who's managed to watch Inception?  It's good, yeah?  Don't tell me anything.  I'm going to watch it soon, I swear.  Anyone manage to get through all those Linguistic books?  Or the books Dad bought you for Christmas?  Could anyone get into A Canticle for Liebowitz?  And how many of you will understand this: Phase five: big fucking breakfast. 
Who's happy and who's unhappy?  How many just content?  How many in love?  How many out of love?  How many seriously approaching clinical depression?  How many truly elated and over the moon? 
Keep it up.

Regards,
Me
