Because, see? I got a link-back here from Neil Howe, who is pretty much who I want to grow up to be. You know that term "Millenials?" He coined it. Because he's clever like that.
I haven't commented on his post. I honestly have no idea what to say that wouldn't make me sound like an excited fangirl. I'm actually somewhat familiar with his work with William Strauss (I'm only a dabbler), so for him to know I exist is pretty damn exciting.
Pardon me while I hyperventilate under my desk.
(True: A coworker just told me about this book, by this woman blogger she thought would interest me, and I was like, is it The Bloggess? And Let's Pretend This Never Happened? Because that book is on the top of my list. And then my coworker thought I was a huge nerd. And she was probably right.)
Nice! And I can't wait to read Jenny's book either!
ReplyDeleteSo excited! The Squeeze and I have an anniversary coming up (the entire month of June--long story), and I plan on hinting heavily for that book. He's pretty good at taking hints, which helps. (Plus he reads this, which helps more. Hi, Squeeze!)
DeleteNow I just need to figure out what to get him...
You are just a regular blog celebrity! First the top google hit for Hunger Games stuff, now this!
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I say "knock knock, motherf***er" regularly. If any of us have a baby boy, he will be named Beyonce. =P
P.S. - I'll be there Saturday, hope you're excited for your last night.
I know, right? (And better Beyonce than Ivy. Oh, wait...)
DeleteOh, god, Saturday. I think a bunch of people from work are coming. Which means it'll be awesome or terrifying. Probably both.
I bought Jenny's book the day it came out and read it already. Yes, I want to make you jealous of me. Because I'm not cool enough to be referenced by Neil Howe, dammit.
ReplyDeleteNice going, girlfriend!
I AM SO JEALOUS!!!! (And totally bait-able.)
DeleteAnd thank you! I am feeling very self-important right now. :)
Since I know how smart you are, you're not smarter than I think you are, you're smarter than YOU think you are :P
