AMA

In a pathetic attempt to get more badges or points or nesticles or sparkly stars or whatever the junewhatevs The Nest Gods are handing out for posting lately...ask me something. I have a long boring day ahead and would love to procrastinate.

  • What's the best thing and worst thing about being a single mom?
    I write sexy books. I read all the books. I love dresses & macarons.

    What do you hope the princess picks up from you? What do you hope that she doesn't? 
    Similar - I'm incredibly loud, kind hearted, gregarious and an eternal optimist at heart. and 
    Different - I'm more responsible and pragmatic and far less trusting of people in general, but especially men. I'm also a lot more spiritual than religious and she's super into Jesus.

    I hope the princess picks up my imagination, my smarts, my love of reading, and my wanderlust (but actually does something with it) 

    I hope she doesn't get my raging insecurity, my need to please everyone all of the time, and that she's not a scaredy cat like I am. Thankfully she's as brave at nearly 10 years old as I could ever hope to be at thirty- *mumble mumble*.

    This is like a Miss USA question...I'm so nervous!

    I would have said make gay marriage legal but it is in California so instead I'll say I'd make it illegal to dog ear books. 

    It's totally necessary because a) who does that? and b) you can find any random piece of paper to stick into a book to hold your place, no need to damage those precious pages!

    I envision it helping the US by forcing people not to hurt books thereby making the world a slightly better place to live. *shrug*

    Best thing - My kid. She's literally the best thing that ever happened to me. 

    Worst thing - Sharing her with the person who hurt me more than I've ever been hurt in my entire life, and having the reason for that hurt also be her stepmother who feels like she is just as much my kid's mother as I am.

  • Can you list John Green's books in order from your favorite to least favorite?  No, this doesn't mean that you HATE any of them.  I just have a clear order and I'm always curious as to everyone else's opinion.

    TFIOS
    Will Grayson
    LfA
    Katherines
    Paper Towns

    I feel bad about this list...like I'm saying PT was bad and it WASN'T. I'm basing it solely on the level of connection and feels I had towards the book while reading it. I loved them all, but I'd say this is pretty accurate.

    I will graciously keep Leo busy so that Pinky's not so overwhelmed. His swan can come too.

    This is a hard one! I remember a tweet I wrote about Taylor Swift after she broke up with Harry Styles or someone and my hashtag was #thatlldopig or something like that. 

    One of my favorites ever was #thesefeelingswonteatthemselves.

    I have #princessisms, #seemslegit and #priorities in pretty heavy rotation right now.

    PINK.
