Comment on Suferiority: Why we cannot correct our boyfriends THOUGH WE BE CORRECT by Nicole

Nicole — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 17:48:18 +0000

I did not suffer from this when I had a boyfriend. If he was wrong, I would say something, because I trusted him to do the same for me. Who wants to go around saying wrong things?

Also, I no longer have a boyfriend. I know that correlation does not equal causality, but still…related???

I nominate abshopious. I built it from abstemious. I’m planning on not buying stuff I don’t need next year and have decided to name it The Year of Abshopiousness.
Awesome, huh?

I sent you an email about how to (maybe) become the lead article for this feature. I hope you will read it and respond.

I was told I wouldn’t start smearching til menarche, but I think my mother misunderstood the question.

I discovered you on Jezebel and LOVED your selection of books and reviews! I couldn’t remember the title of this book for the life of me and was happy to walk down memory lane with your review. Please do more of these!

Well sure, I love to win stuff, and I’m not ashamed of my Jersey girl roots, dammit. I’ll review it and pass it along as well.

I don’t know — all these people responded on the DL, like they WERE ASHAMED. Then they were like, no, don’t worry, I’ll buy the book. But would you like to be A WINNER?

Oh, and that’s the Harlem River looking at the Palisades, and beyond that I think is scenic Englewood, NJ, or else Hackensack.

Seriously? No one guessed? Or so many people guessed you took down the comments. Anyway, on the off chance that I’m the only habitual Bronx-to-NYC #1 train rider reading this, it’s the Henry Hudson Bridge with the Spuyten Duyvil Amtrak bridge (not the right name, I know) in the background. Tracks are Metro North.

I just found out about Cheryl. We were flight attendants together in Hawaii and great friends. After she moved to Washington we lost touch. She was a truly wonderful person.

Comment on This Week in Uncompensated Media Appearances: Or, Drunk on America by Charles J Shields

(Sigh) She interviewed me, too. Asked me a lot of questions about my book, Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee, and gave me a sweet roll.

Sadly, I failed the audition. Although I recognized lots of familiar material in Me, Boo ‘n’ You.

No Go Ask Alice?
Isn’t this a serious omission? Or have my old eyes missed it in the “G’s”?

The only ham-fisted aping ever came from me!!!!!!!!! I have always been impressed by how you interpreted what I meant without DOING that design.

Wow. Thanks for the lovely write-up, Lizzie. (And extra thanks for giving credit to the Miso Pretty design, which was so ham-fistedly aped for the first version of your site.)

Looks amazing. Well done!

Yes, duh, sorry. Who was it we couldn’t agree on? Was it Francine Prose, maybe? Lucy Ellmann I haven’t read but Chris Lehmann certainly.
