  1. This resulted in one of my all time favorite emails in which my baffled Chinese translator politely asked me to define "Heywood Jablomie."
  2. I always wonder how translators deal with words like "assplosion," "interwenchion," "skankitude," etc. Only one translator has ever asked.
  3. ERSTE MALE means FIRST TIME in German. I guess SLOPPY FIRSTS doesn't translate so well. On sale in January. http://tinyurl.com/ylzphl5
  4. 11/14/86 Mom said he'll start to like me if he thinks I don't like him anymore. With my luck, this will be the first time my mom is wrong.
  5. 11/13/86 Meg, you're stupid. From now on, promise you'll never to dedicate your life to obsessing over any boy. It's such a waste of time.
  6. 11/13/86 New attitude: Don't dwell in the past! -Later. I just reread my entries 7th grade and counted how many times I wrote his name: 52.
  7. 11/11/87 I dream about us getting trapped in an elevator for hours and we play "True Confessions" and it all ends dramatically with a kiss.
  8. In honor of Veterans Day, I encourage you all to read PURPLE HEART by the brilliant Patricia McCormick. For more: http://tinyurl.com/ylk8yo9
  9. @piratesmiles BLAME? Don't you mean THANK? (And YOU'RE WELCOME.) RT I blame @meganmccafferty for my recent love of Barry Manilow.
  10. 11/9/86 I go, "At the dance you said, 'Back in a second.' You never came back!" He laughs and goes, "I said, 'Back in a MINUTE.'" NOT FUNNY.
  11. No, it's not weird. I'm thrilled when new readers discover my "old" books. RT @bluesreader And you're like, "Hello, where have you been?"
  12. RT @bluesreader Is it ever weird when someone discovers something you published 8 years ago and totally falls in love with your writing?
  13. 11/09/86 "All Cried Out" is on right now. So appropriate cuz I'm ALL CRIED OUT over him. The radio is psychic. http://tinyurl.com/2uqftl
  14. 11/8/86 He asked, "What's wrong?" I just glared. Then he said the WORST COMBINATION OF WORDS EVER INVENTED. "I want to be friends." I DIED.
  15. @LaineyGossip Metaphorically speaking, of course. I'm a happily married woman after all. (I'm a Franco fan from the Freaks and Geeks days.)
  16. @LaineyGossip I wish **I** were all over The Franco. RT The Fug is all over The Franco. Because he is awesome.http://bit.ly/2AURID @fuggirls
  17. Hope to see a hometown crowd at the OC library Berkeley branch tonight. Warming up my voice for my final Barry-oke performance of 2009.
  18. Sesame Street turns 40! Who's your favorite resident? Mine is Grover. (This tweet was sponsored by the letters M and C and the number 3.)
  19. "Clustereffery" belongs to everyone. Especially if you live in Jersey. RT @spiralgypsy i love the word "clustereffery" - can i steal it?!
  20. In the spirit of bipartisanship, I'll put a positive spin on it: Jersey wants change! I hope he brings it! (Thanks, exclamation points!)
