Dear Duchess (aka @door),

Please meet my new celebrity crush, Benjamin Walker. He is ridiculously attractive and the sound of his voice makes my heart turn over in my chest. 

However, he does not displace Chris Pine in the hierarchy of celebrity-men-I-do-not-know-but-have-a-deep-crush-on-anyways. Chris Pine will ALWAYS be number one because, well, have you seen the man in glasses? Also, he would totally be up for a PRINCESS DIARIES 3.

Anyhoo, I just thought–as my best friend–you should know. 

Thank you and I love you and please kiss Vista P and Lani Moose and Sammy for me. 

Lots of love,

Prinny

P.S. I am craving chocolate cake right now. Also something I thought you should know.

Thank you for providing me this update to your hierarchy of crushes, and also for delivering it in this fashion.

(WOULD he be up for PD3 tho??)

Chris Pine would be! He mentioned in some article I read recently. 

*sigh* I hope, if they did make another movie, that he would wear his glasses again. He’s so . . . so . . . *collapsing into a dead faint from being overwhelmed by Chris Pine’s sexiness*

I was in my friends’ wedding back in October, and they just put the photos on facebook, including one of me immediately after I caught the bouquet.  The expression on my face is sheer, bewildered terror.

this was a mistake

I just need to point out that you were the ONLY woman to actually step forward and try to catch the bouquet, dear. The rest of backed the hell away . . . with an audible sigh of relief that it was you, darling, who ended up in the hot seat and not us. 

P. S. I love you.

NICE THOUGHTS CHALLENGE. Once you get this you have to say 5 nice things about yourself publicly and send this to 10 of your favorite followers. But not back to me, of course. (You don't have to tag people...or even do it...just whatevs.)

Okay.  I’ve been thinking about this for like 2 days because the OPPOSITE of this is really more my wheelhouse.  But okay.

1. I always tip.  If there is a tip jar, and I have cash, I am putting cash in that jar.  The service has to be HORRENDOUSLY BAD for me not throw cash in that jar.  I’ve had too many service industry jobs not to understand how huge a few extra dollars at the end of the day can be.  If I don’t have cash that day, I will make up for it on the next.

2. I’m good at backtracking and remembering landmarks.  This makes me handy to have in unfamiliar cities, and also in video game dungeons.

3. I put my dog first in almost everything.  For example, I had to cancel a dentist’s appointment for myself because I couldn’t afford it, but my dog might have an ear infection, so we’re going to the vet today.  I’m not willing to rack up debt for myself, but I absolutely am for her.

4. I always write thank you notes.

5. I care about people I only know via the internet.  If you’ve been silent for a few days, and you aren’t usually, I will reach out as soon as I notice to see if you’re okay.

This is, indeed, me. I state that PROUDLY. I would have puppy-napped that puppy. Or, at the very least, gathered it into my arms and told him/her how utterly wonderful and gorgeous and SPECIAL he/she is. And then bathed the puppy's face in kisses.

… what did Adam get you last year?

What you can’t see is that both books are full of worms.

Oh! Well, that makes sense. I LOVE YOU GUYS.

Question . . . how would you react if I hypothetically got you a Sparkly Unicorn? I'm just testing out gift ideas.

One of the greatest joys in life is confunding my best friend.

Me: I want a baby elephant.

I could keep a baby elephant, right?

Best Friend:  I imagine it would eat you out of house and home

me:  BUT IT WOULD LOOK SO CUTE DOING IT

I would feed my baby elephant ALL of my oatmeal!

I would name her Nora.

sigh

I love her already.

Best Friend:  you would also need to feed it, like, carts and carts of greens

me:  I would take her on the subway to Central Park!

She could eat greens there.

I would get her a train outfit and EVERYTHING.

goggles to protect her from dust and stuff, shoes, a nice spring jacket, etc.

Best Friend:  Laura, are you just...reenacting Babar?

Things that make me happy:

  • When authors return their copyedits and proofread manuscripts on time . . . WITH HOMEMADE MINT CHOCOLATES.
  • Brand new sharpened green or blue pencils. I dislike editing in red. It makes me feel like a teacher grading a paper.
  • Schnauzer puppy videos.
  • Receiving photos or videos of my best friends' dogs or babies.
  • Goldfish crackers (not the fish).

I'm a Princess

Sometimes, it's important to declare your true status in life. I'm an editor and I'm a Princess and I'm pretty darn cool.

I also love my dog.

Because apparently Kelly is not familiar with the brilliance that was Clone High, a primer.

This here theme song, written by Sifl & Olly creator Liam Lynch, sums up the general concept. You see…

Way, way, back in the 1980’s, secret government employees dug up famous guys and ladies and made amusing genetic copies. Now the clones are sexy teens now. They’re gonna make it if they try. Loving, learning, sharing, judging. A time to laugh and shiver and cry. Time to watch Clone High. Energetic and engaging. Clone High. Our angst is entertaining. Clone High. Our lives are never boring. Who am I? Clone High.

Aired on MTV in the US and Teletoon in Canada, the 2002 animated series lampooned the moral-driven teen angst primetime soaps of the era (think Dawson’s Creek and Felicity. This was still pre-The OC, though just by a few months) as seen through the eyes of teenage clones of Abraham Lincoln, Joan of Arc, Mahatma Ghandi, John F. Kennedy, Cleopatra and others in a modern day high school scenario.

The show was co-created and executive produced by Bill Lawrence (creator of Scrubs and Cougar Town), Christopher Miller and Phil Lord (co-writers and co-directors of the brilliant Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs and the upcoming Lego feature film). It is imminently quotable. Watch the heck out of it and mourn that it only lasted the one season like so many of us did a whole damn decade ago.

Hahahaha!

Thank you. I am suitably chastened, and will dive in when I get home.

Now you watch Stargate.

You guys kill me. Now I have to watch this, just so that I have some basic understanding of what you both are talking about.

I used to send Laura emails the subject of which were simply “ARMITAGE” and the body completely composed of photos of Richard Armitage.  Thinking of bringing that back.
