It’s been a long time,
It’s been a long time, shouldn’t have left you without a dope beat to step to
Hooray for the return of blogger! I was getting clogged up with unexpressed drivel. It was beginning to affect my judgement. So, this lengthy update comes in a few parts.
Job update
So, I am no longer temping with good old Adams. In actuality, I only worked one day last week, which is stinky, since rent is due soon. (yikes.) But, I had some good job karma this week. Way back in December, I applied/interviewed for the position of receptionist at POP! Multimedia. My interview went so well that I was shocked when I wasn’t offered the position. So, I haven’t really thought about it since.
Then, last week, they placed an ad looking for a new executive assistant. I was totally excited about it, and I applied the minute I saw the ad. (This was about midnight.) First thing in the morning, I get an email from their current executive assistant saying “Our CFO liked you so much when you interviewed in December, she wants to know if you would like to come back and interview for this position.” Apparently, she hadn’t even received my online resume from HR yet. I would love to have this job. It’s a step up from my last job, working with (relative) peers, in an environment I believe I could thrive in. Since high school, I have lived my life surrounded by computer “geeks”. I love them. I went to a mathematics and science high school, and my friends have always been primarily boys. (From my first interview, I can assure you of the similarity of the population demographic.) Cartoon characters painted on the walls, flat monitors everywhere, game tables, etc etc. If I’m going to sell the next few years of my soul to an office-job, I want it to be an office job where I can grow and learn and still have enough fun to keep me motivated. This job seems like the perfect answer to my neverending quest for a job where I can use my skills, keep myself interested, learn new things, interact with fun coworkers, yada yada yada. I’m actually pretty freaking excited about getting to interview for this job. Maybe this unending jobsearch will finally be over.
And, on the artistic front…
Rehearsals for Mass Murder are finally coming to a close. I can’t believe we’re already in tech week. Didn’t we just start? Somehow, all fifteen (thirteen?) minutes of monologue are memorized, dialect is as assimilated as it is ever going to be… all that’s left is to open, and not freak out. I guess we’ll see.
On a lighter note
Bill bought “Cheaters” at Blockbuster, which is based on a true story about Jolie Fitch, this incredibly odd girl I went to high school with for awhile. Maybe someday HBO will make a movie about me too. Starring Angelina Jolie, who will have to put on thirty pounds for the role, and who will look so good that way, that she will start a new trend in Hollywood. (Fairuza Balk would be a close second.) Playing Bill would be… either Jason Biggs, French Stewart, or that guy from “Rushmore”. (Not Bill Murray.) The girl who played Marilyn Monroe in the TV movie would play my friend Julia (Poppy Montgomery!), the list goes on and on. Rose McGowan would cut her hair and normal herself up a bit to play Pamala, Alyson Hannigan would be Casie (but with her hair dyed dark), I can totally see it all. Of course, I’d probably have to actually do something worth making a movie of FIRST. Dammit.
Honestly, I don’t care either way. She was a fun person to go to class with for a year, and honestly I think it’s pretty hysterical that they made a movie out of it. I see it in video stores everywhere I go, and I have this brief moment of “Hey. I KNOW her.”
As for what she’s doing now, I haven’t the foggiest clue. Sorry - good luck hunting her down!
One should always be careful when considering looking up old assoiates. It is quite common to find that some of them rather enjoy having lost touch with the past. And of course when hunting, one should always take a moment to look back over one’s shoulder, to see if anyone else is tracking the same prey.
Do you attend Steinmetz when you knew Jolie? If so, did you ever run into Irwin Flickas, and was he as goofy as the movie portrayed him? The credits at the end said he was going to become a journalist. He would fit right in with the liberal media establishment.
Irwin Flickas is my nephew, and yes..he is the shame od the fLickas family. He had a “gay union” and was arrested for cocaine sales. He is a writer for the prison newspaper at Joliette.

Nope, I knew her at IMSA, so I didn’t know any of the other kids involved.
hi, anyone know who to contanct jolie fitch/ any kids involved? please EMAIL
I AM Jolie’s Mom. She is alive and well. Married with 2 children. Her email is: jolie_g_bor@yahoo.com
As for Irwin…fictitious name for one of the students involved.
Woah. I hear on the notesfiles that there was a movie made about an IMSAn, a little digging reveals it to be Jolie, and a little googling brings me to your page! Looks like it brought quite a few people to your page. Weird.
I am glad to know that some of the decathletes made it on to college. Sorry to hear about Irwin though. I don’t have any relation to the students or anyone affiliated with them. I was simply a movie viewer of the movie “Cheaters”. Today was the first time I sat and watched the movie, and began to wonder what became of all of them. I am glad to know that they have all put the past behind them. I researched and saw that MR. Kiamos is still teaching at the school, from what I can tell. I am wondering how Steinmetz has improved academically. I sure hope the school system itself has flourished over the past 9 years. I would like to contact some of the alumni from Steinmetz including Jolie, but I am sure they don’t want to be bothered with nosey people like myself. I wish them all the best of luck, and to me they are all winners.
I just saw the movie also and feel the same. I wish them all the best. I find it hard to beleive that Jolie’s mother would actually post her email address, but I will respect her privacy and not use it. I will say I laughed so hard when they reported that one lady went to jail for tax evasion.
Does anyone have a picture of the “cheaters”?
I too loved the movie Cheaters. I adored the character Jolie Fitch but even more than that I loved the name. I am proud to let everyone know that there is a beautiful 5 month old baby girl named Jolie a.k.a. ‘giggles’. I just hope Im not setting the poor child up for infamy in the same regard! LOL
Please email me whenever you read this.. do you know where Jolie is going to college now? I will be honest, despite the fact that she may have cheated, I think that anyone in her position would have done the same thing.. especially at her age then. Pressure makes us all do some pretty crazy things when the time calls for it right there and then. Im not so sure anyone should give her any crap for what she did or didnt do
