JOYFUL LIFE OF A MENTALISTA

Simon’s last IG post on Friday made me nostalgic and just so grateful for all the amazing BTS pics of TM we’ve gotten over the years, and for the ones we’re STILL getting 7 months after the finale! Simon himself has given us so many over the years. Here are just some of my favorites! <3

Happy Mentalist Sunday!

Hello Tunnies! Just a quick reminder that we will be trending Happy Birthday Robin Tunney on Friday June 19th at 11am EST!

Here are some quick tips on how to trend. This may help those of you who would like to schedule tweets :)

Trending Tips

1. Be unique – each tweet, even between your multiple accounts, must be unique to count towards trending – attaching pictures or emojis is a fast way to make every tweet different. 

2. Don’t use consecutive counting (tag + 1, 2, 3, etc) or anything similar – these won’t count.

3. Don’t tweet more than 100 tweets in the hour or it might be counted as spam

4. Try not to use swear words

5. Try not to use the tag phrase before Trending Time starts

6. Have fun! Remember - no matter if we trend or not this is still a great way to show Robin how much we love her. So have fun with trending time!

Bonus tip: Tell your friends, family, co-workers, or even the mail carrier! The more people we have tweeting the tag, the easier it will be to trend. Let’s all join in on the fun, shall we? :)

Thanks!

A huge thank you to everyone who voted! Now, here are the results. By popular vote, we’ll be trending…

Trivia:

Robin Tunney won Best Actress at the Boston Film Festival

Check out the website for the movie, http://www.openwindowmovie.com/ - the Featurette Section is especially beautiful.

The movie’s Director, Mia Goldman, said about Robin: "Robin is fearless. And incredible. Every time she did her takes, the tears would fall exactly the same time, I couldn’t believe the control that she has. I don’t know how she does that. Her face is so expressive. I don’t know anybody who could have done the role the way she did it.“

Quotes:

“Can I tell you a story? I saw this boy once. He had an acute fear of swimming in pools. He was so terrified of sharks. He saw them in the pool. And we worked together for a while, and after a time he seemed to be better. Years later, I ran into him, and I could tell he was an athlete. I asked what he was doing. He told me he was captain of the swim team. I said, "I guess then you’re no longer afraid of sharks.” You know what he said? “The sharks are still there. I just out-swim them.” You never know what a person will do with impediments, and sometimes adversity has unseen benefits.”
