I should totally make Anthony my husband in this PowerPoint; the point of it is to parallel the USA in the 90's and France in the 90's, so you have to be like "I was born in the USA in 1991. My spouse was born in France in 1991," etcetera, etcetera... except then he would have to be French and that would be strange. Maybe I'll use Johnny Depp, he lives in France.

Hah, yes Rogue. I know exactly what you mean.

I know I'm going to have to get another copy of Without You, because I don't want the copy that Anthony will sign to end up looking worn from too many reads. (At the risk of sounding fangirly in a "OMG he touched my hand I shall never wash it again!!!11" kind of way.)

Yeah, I always end up getting duplicates of books that I read so much they look very worn.

That's a good idea, DI... maybe I'll do that too, if I end up going.

Mariel! You are a *doll* for posting that video, thank you!

Edit: I just got to the end of the video. Wow, there were so many people there. Anthony's hand must've been killing him!

The "parched...parched...parched" joke he did at University of Florida. He did it again and said that he'd used the joke before and it worked, then said people were all going to go online and say that he used the same joke twice. I figured I wouldn't let him down.

Um, I'll try and write something up, but it may be awhile.

I bet you that he'll get online tonight and read that you did what he said Skittles. I'm sure it will amuse him

Awww.

Well, I have managed to find something good to say about Isaac (gasp!). He’s certainly bad for an interviewer, and one of the worst people you can go to if you want to promote your book/movie or whatever, but he seemed really *into* what Anthony was saying. Almost fanboyish, in the way he was tripping over his own words and overlapping Anthony. If it wasn’t a formal interview, I would have liked it.

See, I can put a positive spin on just about anything/anyone. I rarely want to, but it’s an interesting “skill”.

Just some of my ramblings to tide you over until skittles writes something up.

Hah, skittles, that's great. Sounds like it was loads of fun.

I definitely see your point, DI... that part was pretty funny. Even if he isn't a great interviewer, it was still pretty amusing. And my mom was like, "I bet all Anthony's friends will be like, 'So this is what you have to do to sell books, eh?'"

Okay, screw the PowerPoint. This teacher's a pushover and will (hopefully!) give me another day; right now, I need sleep. Bye, everyone! *waves*

Edit: Oh, and Happy Singles Awareness Day, everyone!

To be very far behind: DI, I'm doing the same thing; have a "keep at home copy" that he signed, and a copy I can take with me everywhere because I love it! lol.

I'm sensing people who were at the Chicago signing... yay! lol. *tired craziness happening*

Okay. I'm having a random craving for stemmed brocoli with lemon. And iced tea.

x.x Why can't I crave something that I can find in the house?

Well, I may have iced tea. But, I don't want to look for it now.

I have severely cut down on my chocolate intake... February 15 is not going to be a good day.

Happy Singles Awareness Day to you too, elphatine.

I thought Singles' Awareness Day was the 15th.

Speaking of which, what exactly is supposed to happen on this "holiday"? Are there like...motivational speecehes? Or free food?

Or is it perhaps made up by someone with the same twisted humor that I have- like everything the oppasite of Valentine's Day? Like- instead of boxes of chocolates bunches of carrots, and instead of heart-shaped cards, skull-and-crossbones shaped cards?

...I have way too much time on my hands.
