In case you missed it, here’s the stream from the Hello Giggles show at UCBEast tonight!
Sidenote: I have a really annoying voice and huge calves! Hooray!
I also use my right hand a lot when I’m speaking but in the exact same manner every time. What. A. Weirdo.
Danielle is not a weirdo. I’m the weirdo with a useless prop at 41:20 or something.

IHTM: I Have Psoriasis | xoJane.com →
Oh, look! I got to talk about something else gross about myself for xoJane.com!
I’m also home sick from work today due to “womyn’s issues” and cried both times I watched the Les Miserables trailer because my uterus feels like lead and Anne Hathaway’s sing-sob and HORMONES.
What do you want to overshare today, internet?

A note on beach blogging
Dear internet,
Stop putting up photos of you at some beach with some stupid caption like, “Don’t you wish you were here?” Because my immediate answer would be, “Oh is that a beach? Then no. I don’t wish I was there.”
Unless you are on a special air conditioned beach that is not covered in dirt or the bodies of thousands of other people, then I do not want to...

It's not my responsibility
Just want to share this thought I had this morning.
So, there’s this girl I vaguely know who is friends with a lot of my friends. And whenever I walk into a room or see her at a bar talking with friends, she seems really fun and really sweet and really awesome.
Then, she sees me and gets all weird and stone faced. Or quietly smug and superior.
Naturally, I’ve spent months...

Yay!

I'm starting a podcast soon called "How did this...
So, a few months ago, I interviewed an awesome friend about her awesome book and since then her publishers have been randomly sending me ARCs or Advance Reader Copies in the mail.
At first, my Catholic guilt made me feel bad that I wasn’t reading these potential literary hits and trying to think of ways to support the struggling writers behind them. That soon went away when I remembered...

My Social Media Strategy
Social Media Lady at Social Media Party Last Night: Oh, my God, I can't believe is here! We had this huge twitter war.
Me: Oh, I don't have twitter wars. I'm always like, "What's the point? I could get into a fight with this stranger or look up photos of hot guys."
SML at SMPLN: Ugh, but no...this dude...like...sometimes you just have to. People say such dumbass things. This guy hates me! I can't believe he's here! We hate each other on twitter!
Me: I know, but I'm always like, "You have your opinion...I'll have mine. We'll never agree and that's okay." I could waste my time fighting with people, but I'd rather spend my time masturbating.
SML at SMPLN: I can't not believe he came here. Excuse me. I have to go meet him.
Me: (to myself) I will just stand here alone with my free wine and think about Jeremy Renner's butt.
The longing for it.
I live in Queens, which according to some people should remain a source of embarrassment for me.
The thing about Queens, though, is I think that you get the best of both New York worlds by living there.
I often get so caught up in my life in the city and in Brooklyn that I feel so apart of New York that I can feel as though the city has always been a part of me.
Then, I’ll have a...

Beta reader?
I’m close to finishing an acceptable first draft of a first chapter to a potentially real first novel. This means I might be emailing friends soon asking for someone to read it over and give me some feedback.
The thing is I don’t want real feedback at this stage. I just want someone to say something nice about the chapter and then add, “This is great! Keep going!”
I will...

Also, a definitive note on Luhrmann's Gatsby...
…and this is before I even see it.
Is it true to Fitzgerald’s novel in terms of tone and voice? Fuck no.
Should it be? Fuck no.
If a filmmaker adapts a work of literature, it should not aspire to be a cut and paste film version of that novel. It should be the same story, with the same characters and similar tropes, but as seen through the artistic lens of the filmmaker.
A great...

“But the world has changed since the days of Baba Wawa, and SNL’s present-day...”
– From
SNL Needs to Get Over Television
Thoughts?
(via sarahjburton)
SNL does too many talk show parodies, the talk shows are nothing but a parade of celebrity impressions, there aren’t enough real original ideas.
These are all things anyone could say and has been saying for decades. With that...

On Watching HBO Shows With My Mom | xojane.com →
This provides background for anyone who’s ever wondered why my mom watches Game of Thrones and why I discuss it with her and why I’m totally cool with it.
