And then this piece of fried gold happened because I’m the luckiest person ever

April 1, 2012

in Let's Pretend This Never Happened,Post that people who don't twitter won't get

Remember last month when I was in Hollywood for some reason?  Well, this was the reason.  It’s a special gift just for you.

A few weeks ago I shared the book trailer that Penguin came up with for me.  This week I’m sharing the book trailer I came up with for you guys.  It’s insane and I can’t stop giggling at it.

Also, I want to lick every single person in this video because they are all terrific sports and are more awesome than enchiladas.

Here’s the link if you can’t see it.

PS.  You can order the book and check out tour dates by clicking here.  Thanks so much to every single one of you for being so supportive and amazing over the last ten years of writing this book.  I can’t believe it comes out in just a couple of weeks.  Insane.

PPS.  A special thank you to Soleil, Mary Lynn, Amanda, Neil, Felicia, Jeri, Bigfoot and Wil.  You are the stuff that dreams are made of.

Also also, I will totally buy your book just as soon as I have a job again. Possibly before that if I can talk my husband into eating nothing but spaghettios and ramen for a week or two.

The April 2012 issue of Marie Claire magazine has a book review of “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened ” on page 187. That’s April , Marie Claire, page 187…if you just want to hunt down the review and not buy the magazine !
There is a small colored photo of the cover too. I was thrilled to see it.

98 Holly Waterfall April 1, 2012 at 10:36 am

I am Holly Waterfall and I think that was great! I think we should all send feathers to Wil Wheaton now. Jenny, for all the math lovers out there you could go on Big Bang and calculate the actual funniness of your book with Sheldon. You could say something like, “It is 2/3 less serious than the Bible, 1 million times funnier than toothpaste Oreos, and not at all as scary as birds”. Then Sheldon could be all seriously writing down coefficients of funny and birds on his whiteboard. Leonard could come in and ask what was going on and of course not understand when you both explained it. After that, the girls could come in and ask if you wanted to go shopping for taxidermied animals and you would of course say yes. Sheldon could ask to come along and Leonard would just shake his head at all of you. I think Victor and Leonard could be good friends.

99 Chelsie April 1, 2012 at 10:37 am

Wow! That was several different kinds of win all at once. I kind of hate you a little for getting to hang out with Wil Wheaton. But not enough to cancel my order for your book. I was kind of on the fence about it, but now that I know it is funnier than the Bible, I’m totally stoked.

I can’t think of anything intelligent to say.
Okay: Congratulations,
because you wrote a book
and it’s published
and because
Amanda and Neil appeared in a video, for you, as you…
LUCKY!!!
(Resisting urge to beg you to mention my seven year old’s lemonade stand… you’re famous, you have influence, you could bring the thirsty masses to her sale. Okay. Sorry about that.)

A conspiracy going back over two millennium has recently been uncovered. Documents written in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek and Coptic show a pattern among Early Christian Bishop and Rabbinical councils to independently redact humous sections of the what is known as the New and Old Testaments. The documents were discovered after and extensive search of Vatican, Orthodox, Coptic and early Synagogues records. It was believed by the early church authorities that a more serious tone was required and that “the funny stuff” was a distraction. One early Bishop’s letter complains that urine odor after the preaching of these passages was just overwhelming the following week.

Preliminary reviews of these documents by Biblical scholars state that the humor is wide-ranging and translates remarkable well, even the ancient puns. “It is as if it were divinely inspired!” one translator was overheard saying. Another scholar confidentially said she understood why so much had been hidden. There are these stories of Jesus as a practical joker. He appears to be particularly fond of raising-the-dead during a funeral service and seeing the histrionic reactions of the relatives.

It has been agreed on that all work shall remain unpublished until the full codex can be revealed. Even so the sniping has already begun. One Vatican Bishop has been reported to say that “the Jews has been secretly using this material for centuries and that accounts for the phenomenal success rate as comedians.” The only item that the scholars agree on is that ones this material is published, the Bible will be the funniest book ever!

If anyone needs me, I’ll be camped at A Real Bookstore until Jenny gets here. I’ll have my laptop so I can watch this book trailer over and over. They have an awesome cafe there, so I’ll be fine for food/beverages. I hope they won’t mind my tent. Do you suppose I can get them to install a shower? Maybe a bathtub… I like to read in the tub so a bathtub would be an excellent dual purpose investment for the bookstore…

If you turn on the YouTube CC and have it transcribe the audio, you get some interesting word-order-things. It’s like it’s taking the English, translating it into Japanese, then Russian, then Kiswahili, then Spanish, then Chinese, and then back into English. It sort of almost makes sense. Sometimes. Here’s a transcript of what it squirted out at me (YMMV) — amazingly, it actually got a couple of them right:

This video is nothing short of hilarious. Seriously funny stuff. Can’t wait for your book!

I will admit, though, I am puzzled by all of this pearl-clutching about the Bible joke. Are these people losing their shit every time South Park airs an episode? Maybe they are and I’m just not paying attention. Are they freaking out about Felicia Day being held at knife point? Maybe they’re doing that, too, and I just haven’t seen it. But I would assume that anyone who enjoys reading your blog would be supportive of your irreverent, bombastic sort of humor. Actually, I would assume that anyone who enjoys your blog would be sufficiently fluent in sarcasm, but, once again, maybe I’m missing all of it. Maybe this is a super-serious website. Maybe it’s me who’s missing the point. Maybe I *should* go steal a bible. And then I can steal a research monkey. And then I’ll get a squirrel cover for my smartphone. OH MY GOD I SHOULD START LIVING MY LIFE LITERALLY ACCORDING TO THE BLOGGESS AND THEN WRITE MY OWN WEBSITE ABOUT IT.

You’re like a major celebrity, Jenny! Look at all the endorsements you got in that video. Well, except for the one where the woman was being held at knife point. The only thing that would make it better is if you could have gotten Matthew Broderick to say “I’m Jenny Lawson” and his wife SJP was in the background…

Hi, I’m Jenny Lawson. And I wrote THE funni…Oh wait.

Being from Canada, I’ve been delaying the pre-order in hopes that there might be some amazingly magical chance of getting a bookplate. But after finding out that this is the book for intellectual misfits, which of course I also am, I now realize that I just can’t take the risk of missing out. I have a niggling feeling that every. single. copy. will be completely sold out, and I’ll be left sad. And crying. And dying a little on the inside. But most importantly…I won’t be laughing. And who wants to live in a world without laughter? Not I, Jenny Lawson. Not I.

Hey!
I don’t know if you’re book is out out yet, but I got it recently at a bookstore I work at, where we get like quasi edited books from publishers to see what we might want to by. Normally the bin is pretty dismal (think pseudo twilight/ gossip girl adult fiction), and then I saw, one very handsomely dressed mouse looking up at me from the bottom. I was like SWEET BABY JESUS. I’ve read your blog forever, and yes, to be corny I really love when you talk about stuff that I feel weird about…issues that I have trouble talking to my…more normal friends with. But even better than that you make me laugh so hard, I pee. Yes. Literally. Pee. So of course I read it in a day, and I am obsessed. Thankyouthankyouthankyou for putting something like this into the world. I’m sorry you had to wear a deer jacket. That part seemed especially bad. I hope you are aware of how many people you’ve touched. Like in an emotional way. Not a creepy way.

Thanks again. Thank you thank you.

And my insurance would be, like, WAY high and then I couldn’t afford your book.
But, you know, Anxiety-burning-fire. If that existed. Which… hmm.
What was my point?
I think you’re brave and door-kicking-in-awesome and the trailer makes my happy and hopeful.
OK. I’m gonna go play with my Juanita print-out puppet now.

I’ll be there at your New York signing (unless the new babysitter pulls a no-show like the old one did last week). So know there will be at least one (and likely many more) familiar face in the audience. And happy to slip you some Vodka in a water bottle, if you should so need.

And I think I’m gonna do a photo cake with Juanita on it for my cake. I’ll be the only one who gets it but that’s ok.

Once I stopped laughing I realized that with a few more guest stars you could represent ALL of the Star Trek series. I’d be willing to bet you could convince George Takai to rep TOS. The only downside to this plan is that the awesome of your book would combine with the trekkie awesome by association and the resultant multiplication of the already immeasurable amount of awesome already in your book would probably create some sort of black hole, universe collapsing spacial anomaly paradoxical wibly wobly timey wimey STUFF.

I bet if you donated this to my library, it would get stolen right away.

If it were only as good as the Bible, people would just write notes in it, white things out, and draw lines to save your soul. Which would be good too.

Also, Felicia Day rocks, and Wil Wheaton is obviously a superior human being in all ways.

I don’t know how you didn’t spend 2 days laughing your ass off while Wheaton was collating his blank paper. Seriously, I admire you for writing your life story, dealing with your depression, making Victor nuts, being shitsnacks funny on your blog, but not falling off the chair laughing at Wil, that’s a fucking accomplishment of epic proportion. Cheers lady – you earned it!

327 Karen April 2, 2012 at 9:03 am

Wil Wheaton is the best collator of paper ever.

334 TheRealBarman April 2, 2012 at 9:41 am

I have to say that this film was absolutely breathtaking. From the casting, to the directing and even the film score. I think the person holding knife should be up for best supporting actor, and Victor’s portrayal of Jesus and his brave (if not risky) defamation of the Bible? Stunning! Neil Gaiman should win as best performance in a female lead for his moving performance as Jenny Lawson. Bravo! (Standing O)

335 Susan D. April 2, 2012 at 9:44 am

I don’t know for sure, but if I were Wil Wheaton I might would have been just a little afraid to sit so close to you for fear of in-range lightning bolts. “Steal the Bible?” Yikes!

Fell off my chair when Jeri said she was seven of nine Jennys. #FuriouslyHappy all around! Yay Jenny!

346 Erica O April 2, 2012 at 10:48 am

Holy moo-fo-ing cow! I saw this on Wheaton’s tumblr first and was all like, “woah, wait, what?!?!” and then I watched it and threw up because the awesomeness going in through my eyes was overwhelming like a fifty-pound chocolate cherry-cordial cheesecake with sprinkles and I couldn’t contain it so it had to come back out somehow and how do you even LIVE with yourself?!?! Do you have to ask your reflection for an autograph every time you pass a mirror? Do you just shake with amazingness all the time like a little chihuahua (they don’t shake because they’re awesome, though, they shake because they’re neurotic)
I can’t even begin to describe how overwhelmingly impressed I am at this video and how amazing you are, in general.

All I can say is that I f*&king love you after watching that video… in a totally non-weird way. Although, it’s is almost a given that it is weird since I’ve never meet you… but that’s how I roll… or physiologically process life. I’m recommitting to loving Will Wheaton. Even if, I haven’t actually meet him either or even seen him for that matter before your blog. I know would have loved him, too, if I had meet him… you know, before the last couple of months or ever. Anyone who will collate paper for you is someone I have to dig. Oh, I love Matthew Broderick. I didn’t think he could be any cooler than in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and then the egg thing, whoa. The skating guy rocks, too. I’m totally into tongs and ice cream sandwiches. I do occasionally like ovens, but not often much to my family’s dismay. I’m seriously in to roasters and kites.

Hi Jenny! True story, I was on a plane this past weekend heading to Austin, Texas (long story involving bats and UT and a rather large cow mascot) and brought a pre-release copy of your book along (one of my dear friends scarfed it from a local bookstore for me). I was listening to tunes, headset in place, when I noticed my husband staring at me and shaking his head, very Victor-like, I suspect. Rumor has it, I was SNORTING with laughter, only I thought I was quietly chuckling (headphones). A casual glance around over my shoulder confirmed. Out of consideration for my husband (and the U.S. marshall’s radar), I decided to take a nap. Looking back, I should have just read out loud, then everyone (except for the U.S. marshall perhaps) would have understood completely! Hilarious and wonderful. I absolutely love your book! C

Holy Fucking Shit Tacos! THAT’S NEIL GAIMAN! Great! Nothing I accomplish in my life will EVER be able to compete with THAT! I should just go back to bed now before I do something really stupid… like eating that huge tube of cookie dough or watching steel magnolias…after I finish watching the NEIL video… (I only got to the part where Neil says he is you before I was Like Holy fucking shit tacos I need to post a comment!)… guess now that my life has been proved irrelevant I might as well finish watching… Where the hell’s the Vodka? (and the cookie dough)

OH MY GOD. You got to meet Wil Wheaton?!? Was that like, one of the best parts of all of this or what?

Yeah, yeah. You wrote a book. But you got those people to fight over being Jenny Lawson!! That kinda makes the whole book with a mouse on the cover not as exciting anymore. Sorry to say it.

Seriously proud of you, for you. You go, Bloggess. You go.

Honestly Jenny – I don’t know you, but I read every post and I am so proud of you. I also have major depression and a few other quirks and I think it is absolutely amazing that you do what you do. You should be super proud of you too. BTW, kick ass with Amanda Fucking Palmer and Neil Gaiman!

444 Heather April 4, 2012 at 7:57 am

oh my god i love it! is your book going to be available on Kindle? It’s exactly the type of thing I want to read on my morning metro commute. laughing hysterically to yourself ALWAYS gets you a row of seats all to yourself, no matter how crowded the train is.

445 Melissa April 4, 2012 at 11:29 am

I wish I had Wil Wheaton wrapped around my little finger like that. Either him or Matt Damon. You know. Either one.

Neil Gaiman?!?!?!! How did you do this? I’m impressed. All that was missing from that video was you chasing Nathan Fillion down the street, hurling a ball of twine at his butt.

“I’m Jenny Lawson” is the new “I am Spartacus/Brian” but without, you know, the crucifixions.

When Neil Gaiman popped up, I absolutely thought he was about to say, “I’m Jenny Lawson, and so’s my wife.”

The Bible bit reminded of the blurb for Good Omens (by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett) that’s Clive Barker blurbing, “The Apocalypse has never been funnier.”

Anyway, great material, wonderful people, and yes, I just fell in love with Jeri Ryan.

Brilliant stuff. Worthy of the wonderful book, I’m sure.

Dear Jenny,

I read your tour dates and, despite your claim, you are not coming to me. I live in Wilmington, Delaware. Sometimes it sucks living in Delaware, because nobody ever visits. This makes Delawarians sad.

Please visit us. Then I can be a happy veterinarian (it is very important that veterinarians be happy, or else we give you totally made up advice about your pet).

Sandra

disclaimer: veterinarians never actually do this…we really do try to work for the welfare of animals to the best of our abilities.

451 Jessica S. April 4, 2012 at 6:24 pm

My favorite part is Jeri’s reference to her Star Trek character. (I forgive her her astounding beauty and figure because the girl is hilarious). And watching Wil makes me think of his arc on The Big Bang Theory, which is a nice warm fuzzy.

If I weren’t already anxious to buy your book, this video would do it!!!! Not sure what that says about me.

I’m practically speechless at the awesomeness of that video. I loved hearing your voice! Will gets +A Million for being such a great sport about the whole thing, and you get +A Million for your “my book is funnier than the Bible AND Harry Potter”, and another +A Million for the use of “ipso facto” in that sentence.

So. Much. Awesome.

454 Nats April 4, 2012 at 9:32 pm

Oh mah gawd you’re adorable! I want to kidnap you and then force you to read things to me. Cereal boxes. Ramen Noodle Instructions. Subtitles from foreign movies.

455 squirrel April 5, 2012 at 12:00 am

i work the over night shift at a truckstop. the reason i am telling you this is because while i was watching the video & laughing at appropriate times… people started to stare… and point… and give me that look…. you know the one? yeah well i used this to my advantage and proceeded to show them the video… 3 of them pulled out their phones and began ordering the book. the others continued to give me “that look”… sad really that they cannot accept the brilliance that everyone else sees. i wonder if its ‘those’ people who will be eaten by zombies first?? counting down the days until i open my nook and see ‘read now’ instead of ‘preordered’ on the cover of your book….

456 Wild Dingo April 5, 2012 at 5:00 am

I have no idea why you would have that social anxiety problem. You are just the cutest thing ever! I’ll bet everyone wants to pinch your cheeks. Oh wait, I think I’m starting to understand why you hide in bathrooms now… your cheeks would totally get sore if everyone was pinching them all the time. I think I would freak too if everyone thought I was that awesome.

Seriously though: great writing. Love the blog!

Love the video. I screeched (and I’m not a screecher) at Collating Wil!
I agree that all these people are awesome, but more awesome than ENCHILADAS?!? That may be going too far!
More awesome than chile con queso – definitely!
(can’t wait for my copy of the book to arrive)

Oh man I lol’d to tears. I loved this so much.

Why Isn’t your book out yet!? I want to read it now. Like right now. right now.

461 Ray, rude-ass yankee April 6, 2012 at 10:16 pm

I saw your book in the bookstore today! I work there and saw it in the back, we can’t put it out until 4/17. Also found out we got an ARC and no one told me! I fully intend to start reading it asap. Very much enjoy your site, best of luck and all!

462 GoGarzas April 7, 2012 at 9:49 am

My heart is broken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just went to check and see if my copy of your book ever shipped, and apparently the transaction was cancelled because our credit card had expired. *FACE PALM* What kills me, is that I preordered it like, the DAY you announced it! And I had even registered to receive a signed book plate too. :( :( :(

463 GoGarzas April 7, 2012 at 10:02 am

Squee!!!! Never mind, I just updated and it DID go through… I hope I get that book plate after all! :)

And even if I don’t, I’m still thrilled that I WILL be getting my book the day it comes out. Whew. Crisis averted…

Side note: I just want to send a thank you out to all the amazing husbands, partners, BFF’s etc. that save us every day from the Lying Bastard. He really got to me last night. I was in a puddle of tears on the bed and my husband finally took charge, called my doctor and get new meds ordered ASAP – then he drove to the 24 hour pharmacy 30 minutes away just get them picked up immediately. I’ve been trying to wean (under doc supervision) so we can conceive another baby, but it’s not going to happen this year. My mental health (as it turns out) is more important to my husband than another baby. God love that man.

464 Julianna April 7, 2012 at 3:25 pm

Based upon your sheer bravery in appearing in the video (although, I imagine having Wil there made it easier), I pre-ordered your book as soon as the video ended. I don’t ever do that. Not ever. I suppose, though, that the bravery part was only the impetus, as I’m pretty sure this will be the best read since… Well… Since Ever.

My speakers are busted so I chose to have youtube transcribe the dialogue for me. I’m sure it’s not a patch on the actual audio but it is strangely awesome in it’s own way.

Must run, I’m trying to get back up to date here!
