A small thanks

July 30, 2012

A week from now I’ll be flying to Toronto to begin the last leg of my book tour. (Click here for dates.) Somehow it’s still on the bestseller list and I owe that completely to you. And that’s why I’m doing a giveaway today. Leave a comment and I’ll choose a few of you to win either an autographed copy of the American version, the British Version, or the audio CD (whichever you choose.)

Also, if you really want a signed and personalized copy of the book for you (or for a gift) but you can’t make it to any of the tour stops you can contact Changing Hands (480.730.0205) to buy a book and I’ll sign one for you when I’m in Arizona. They ship all over the world.

Thanks again for all your amazing support. I literally couldn’t have done it without you.

Thank you.

6 trina July 30, 2012 at 9:57 am: Glad the book is still doing great. I read most of it outloud to my husband.
7 Killhouse Van Boutin' July 30, 2012 at 9:57 am: I’d love to win an autographed copy, but I’d be torn between the American and British versions, seeing as how I’m Canadian…

35 NotNatalie July 30, 2012 at 9:58 am: A friend of mine, non-blog reader, told me she picked it up and, “didn’t get it.” I told her it is imperative that she go to the blog archives, read them all and then try again. I expect that she will want a signed book in a few days (or weeks, depending on how much else she has going on).
36 Alan Carney July 30, 2012 at 9:58 am: You’re welcome! I hope you’ve had half as much fun as we have. Thank you for all your amazing sharing.

44 Kara July 30, 2012 at 9:59 am: Would love to come and stalk you in Canada but I don’t think they could handle the both of us in the Country at the same time. Are you going to pick up a Canadian accent while you’re there, eh?

As I already have hardcover and audiobook, I’d love the UK version – I’m jealous of their font…

53 Jane July 30, 2012 at 9:59 am: My daughter made a sand drawing in honor of you on our recent trip to the beach. It said “STABBY FEELING” and had a big giant knife. I will post the photo on the Facebook page. She is 8, but sneaked the book into the bathroom and read the Post-It Note Chapter. I thought her drawing was both creative and deeply disturbing.

If I get one signed, I’ll donate mine slightly (ok, not so slightly, but clean) used copy to local library for others to enjoy.
66 Paul Burke July 30, 2012 at 9:59 am: I think you should come to England for a signing. We welcome eccentricity (I think you guys call it “craziness”) in all its forms!

71 Amy Anderson July 30, 2012 at 10:00 am: I LOVE your blog and even make my husband read it from time to time…especially concerning taxidermy and Nater Tater. He laughs on the inside, which manifests as shaking his head on the outside, while I am laughing so hard, I’m rolling on the floor crying. Big difference between me and him, I guess. Anyway, the book would be great because I have a feeling that he would end up reading it if I wasn’t there to show him…
72 Donna July 30, 2012 at 10:00 am: I am so looking forward to experiencing your awesomeness all in one package. Although, I may not be able to handle it!

75 Gina July 30, 2012 at 10:00 am: If I don’t win I’ll still buy a copy, but I figured this was worth a try, since winning a free book will free up the money I need to buy the bacon-flavored lip balm I have my eye on.

82 jin July 30, 2012 at 10:00 am: I read your entire book in a day, and got strange looks when I laughed out loud at my kindle when I was walking the dog. I told the people giving me the looks that the dog is funnier than you’d think. Any way, you’re book is awesome. I thought you should know that.
83 The Other Jenny July 30, 2012 at 10:00 am: I already have the Kindle version and plan on buying a hard copy when you come to Minnesota- Squeeeeeeee! So excited to say thank you to you in person! Thanks for the laughs and the tears and for teaching me to be furiously happy!

I have been a loyal fan ever since. To be fair, my husband hates me now because I read most of your book to him, and victor would probably hate me if he heard my imitation of him, but I think it is all worth it. And after learning about some anxiety issues I had last year, I’m also glad I’m not the only one with weird justifications for the things I do. So to sum it up, you’re awesome.

105 JennT July 30, 2012 at 10:01 am: Soooo wanted to go to your signing when you were here in Boston. Sadly, those little humans who live in my house had events.

I like the idea of the woman above – I’d donate mine after enjoying as well. As long as there are no wine slushee stains on it. Which I absolutely can not promise.
106 Helen July 30, 2012 at 10:02 am: Since I am in the UK *and* have a kindle edition of your book this might be my only chance to lay my hands on a signed paper copy!

119 Bethany July 30, 2012 at 10:02 am: Unfortunately, none of your tour stops have come close enough for me to make it, but I’d love a signed book! Then I could send my unsigned copy that I bought when it came out to my best friend. I mean, I guess I could send *her* the signed copy, since we’re best friends and all, but…no, FTS, there’s a limit. The signed one is mine!

126 Jennifer July 30, 2012 at 10:03 am: I tried to make it to the San Francisco signing, but it was just too far away. I read bits of the book aloud to my boyfriend when it first came out and he still brings up his favorite parts. He had not seen me so captivated by a book in a while. You are hilarious and inspiring and wonderful. Have fun on the last leg of the tour!
127 Heather July 30, 2012 at 10:03 am: YAY! You deserve to have your book still at the top! It’s a fabulous book, and all the girls that I went on vacation with in May (while I was re-reading the book), went out and bought it as soon as they got back from Mexico, so they could figure out what the heck kept me roaring with laughter.

129 Beckles July 30, 2012 at 10:03 am: I loved the book, so glad it’s still on the best seller list and I can’t wait for your next one (no pressure). I’d loooove a copy of the audio book. I’m not above bribing you with knitted wares or baked goods.
130 Susan Warren July 30, 2012 at 10:03 am: Jenny your book is awesome and deserves it’s place on the bestseller list! I laughed, I cried and just generally enjoyed it as much as anything I have read in a long, long time. Your emotional honesty is truly bravery to be admired and emulated. You rock, lady!!
131 Megan July 30, 2012 at 10:03 am: I just finished listening to the audio version of the book and am waiting on the return of the hardback I own from a colleague who is reading it for our university book club. I’d love an additional copy to send to friends whom I keep RAVING to about how fantastic your blog/book/you-in-general are.

You’ll do fantastic in Canada (eh).
132 Eliza July 30, 2012 at 10:03 am: Love your book. I keep recommending it to everyone!

(The American version, please. I’m getting threatening notices from the library to return your book that they obtained from another library, just for me. Now I’m curious, does the British version use different swear words? I dislike when I read or hear arse…especially “your fat…” directed at mine, except from Brits. We’re in America people, we have awesome cuss-words.)
Seriously, your book was a great read. Thank you.

I have the kindle version (which I loved to carry around with me and read in public so I could laugh maniacally and creep out strangers) and I’ve gotten all of my officemates addicted to your blog and your book. We’ve all started following you on Facebook and everytime you post something there are shouts around to office to let everyone know to read it! Wish your tour was coming somewhere closer to me (the middle of Central PA where nothing exists except Penn State where I work) so I could see you!
162 Kathi July 30, 2012 at 10:05 am: I’d like to come see you when you come to Portland. I guess I should read your book before then.

I was laughing SO hard, but managed to get where i needed fast enough. Good thing too – My husband was only mildly annoyed to be woken from a dead/sound sleep by my laughter. I can only imagine if he woke up b/c of damp sheets (then again, I guess I could have always blamed the dog).
204 Mychelle July 30, 2012 at 10:08 am: I had to quit reading your book at night because I was laughing so hard I was keeping everyone else up (including the dogs). And I was also poking my husband with the book, asking “are you asleep??!” so I could read parts to him. He was amused by you, not so much by me.
205 Danielle H. July 30, 2012 at 10:08 am: Your book was absolutely awesome (I snorted lots and read many pages of it out loud to my husband…I read almost all of your blog to him as well)! I don’t live anywhere near any of the book tour sites, but my sister lives in Denver. So I sent her all the info for that one and told her to bring her Xanax bottle as it MUST get signed!

Sadly, I have yet to start my collection. Perhaps I can live vicariously through your book if I win a copy!!
241 Amy July 30, 2012 at 10:12 am: You are MY hero.
242 Leah July 30, 2012 at 10:12 am: Unfortunately I cannot make the Denver stop, but I’d be thrilled to win a copy of your book! Congrats on all your success
243 Celina Yanez AKA Your most awesome fan EVA!!!!!! July 30, 2012 at 10:12 am: Pick me, pick me, pick me!!!

We read your book in our book club and I have been doing PR for your book like a motha.

<3 your fan
244 Paulinha July 30, 2012 at 10:12 am: Thanks for the opportunity of this give away! I hope I win.
245 Karen July 30, 2012 at 10:12 am: Congratulations! I would love to win an autographed american version of your book! Thanks for the chance to win! I love your blog and especially your conversasions with Victor. I read them to my husband and we both just crack up. I also appreciate your honesty on depression, thank you.
246 Deb July 30, 2012 at 10:12 am: Your book is great! Of course its still a best seller! Wish I could make it to your book signing when its out my way but I have this pesky thing called work getting in my way (*shakes fist at the unfair world*). Your blog has become apart of my morning coffee-procrastinate-starting-work-for-just-a-bit-more routine. Always brightens my day
247 Elizabeth July 30, 2012 at 10:12 am: Would love to win a signed copy of the British version (such a neat cover)! So happy you are getting the success you’ve earned.
248 Robyn July 30, 2012 at 10:12 am: Hilarious read. Really enjoyed it.

250 Celia July 30, 2012 at 10:13 am: Your blog has made me lurve stuffed dead animals. I now seek them at every yard sale, flea market and bizarre antique market. I’d love your reg’lar ole’ English version of the book!
251 Renee July 30, 2012 at 10:13 am: I could use a book.
252 Phie July 30, 2012 at 10:13 am: Tossing my name in because while I really want to pick up a copy of your book, I’ve been looking for steady employment since I finished grad school, and it’s not going to well..
I’m still going to try to come see you when you come to Toronto, though! Very exciting that you’re coming up here. You’ve been a wonderful inspiration on how to terrorize one’s significant other with overabundant enthusiasm for life.. and dead things, oddly enough.
253 Kerrie July 30, 2012 at 10:13 am: So happy for you that your book is doing so well! I own a hardcover version of your book, and I was lucky enough to have you sign it for me when you came to MA. (I was the awkward red head who asked if it would be ok if I gave you a hug, and you were awesome and said yes, of course.) I would love to win an audio version of your book!
254 Susan July 30, 2012 at 10:13 am: I loved your book, but I have misplaced my copy. So winning one would allow me to share it with a few people that I know will love it too!
255 Lee July 30, 2012 at 10:13 am: You rock. Laughed (and cried) my way through your book last week. I am not surprised it’s still on the Bestseller List. You are a hoot!
256 Laura July 30, 2012 at 10:13 am: I laughed so hard I cried on the way to Yellowstone earlier this year…then I shared the book with my 16 year old daughter so she could enjoy it just as much on the way home from Yellowstone. It would be great to be a two copy household
257 Susan McLean July 30, 2012 at 10:13 am: I would love to win the British version, I borrowed it from the library but hated to give it back.
258 Christy July 30, 2012 at 10:14 am: Congrats on your amazing success! You are an inspiration.
259 Kate July 30, 2012 at 10:14 am: So I introduced you to my sister. She also manages life with depression and you’ve been a big help. She bought your book, has attended the readings and everything. She was even so nice that she loaned me (poor college student) your book so I could read it. Which I was doing, and I was half way through when I had to go to school for the day. Well, while I was being an awesome student by attending class, my dogs ate the book. Now, the only other books they ever ate were the Harry Potter books, so I figure it’s a compliment. However, it wasn’t mine – so I’d like to enter the contest so I could return something other than compost to my sister. I’d also like to say that I’m very glad to see you have such success.
260 Carla Scaglione July 30, 2012 at 10:14 am: I haven’t laughed out loud reading a book like I did when reading yours possibly ever. I have issues with depression and autoimmune conditions also (lupus and RA) and reading your book/blog is the best medicine! I am in LA and wish I could make the trek to San Diego but it’s the week/weekend of my cousin’s wedding. If you sent me a signed copy from Phoenix I might just be an atheist who finally finds Jesus somewhere besides the kitchen!!!
261 Shell July 30, 2012 at 10:14 am: Oooo! PICK ME! PICK ME! Congrats on your well deserved success!! =)

268 BethanytheMartian July 30, 2012 at 10:15 am: Oooh I’m excited you’re still on the bestseller list. I wish I could afford a copy, but we’ve been scrimping for my dental work.

And when I say dental work I mean DENTAL WORK. I just had all my teeth removed. Well, all but two, those two were already missing. Which sounds pretty extreme, but it was the most reliable way I would get to chew food again. It’s definitely something to celebrate! I think I should get a tattoo to commemorate my liberation from dental pain, but I haven’t decided what the subject should be. Maybe a dead Cavity Creep?

Anyway, a toast to celebrations of all kinds! (Mine is non-alcoholic, because I’ve been told pain pills and booze don’t mix. I don’t believe it, but I’m a cautious soul.)
269 Amy July 30, 2012 at 10:15 am: Your book is absolutely wonderful! I told my sisters it is a must-read, and I keep reading parts of it to my husband. He is enjoying it too.
270 Anne-Marie July 30, 2012 at 10:15 am: Although I own and have indeed read your book, I think it would be fun to hear it read by you, so count me in for the draw for the audio version! And congratulations on your book – it’s definitely a pant-wetter. Can’t wait to meet you in T.O.!
271 Molly McDonald July 30, 2012 at 10:15 am: Thanks to you introducing me to the lifestyle of Beyonces, I now get tagged in any photo of metal chickens my facebook friends can find. I seriously think there are more “photos of me” as metal chickens as there are of actually “me”. Winning!

Keep being the inspiration you are
276 Lynne Thomas July 30, 2012 at 10:16 am: Jenny, I have two grown nieces who live three thousand miles from me in the Atlanta, GA, area. I have recently learned, due to my crazed fan-rave about your upcoming tour through Seattle, that they are huge fans of you, your book, and your blog. You, Jenny Lawson, are bringing families together; forging common ground. Whatever. Anyway, I’ll see you at Costco in Shoreline.
277 Patricia July 30, 2012 at 10:16 am: Hi Jenny, thanks for all the laughs. I don’t remember how I found your site and your twitter account, but I’m glad I did! I also love to spread the word – your posts make me smile and laugh and I always like to share a good smile and laugh. Makes for a better world, yes? So I guess you’re saving the world – good job! Keep it up! Thanks again.

279 Stephanie July 30, 2012 at 10:16 am: I loved the book! I have passed it on to my mom, sisters, and best friend. My husband will eventually be reading it as well! I could probably get him to read it faster if I had the audio version Then when he is done I can listen to it whenever I need a laugh!
280 Michelle July 30, 2012 at 10:16 am: Can’t wait to read it- good luck!
281 Jennifer July 30, 2012 at 10:16 am: I want to be in your drawing. But I’m not very lucky, so I probably won’t get picked. My 7-year-old daughter, on the other hand, is the luckiest kid in the world who is not made out of four-leaf clovers or rabbits’ feet. Ooh. A kid made out of rabbits’ feet sounds scary. If I let her make a comment maybe I’ll win. I mean SHE’ll win. that’s what I meant. Totally.

shameless plug: recycle yourself…be an organ donor.

It’s the lawsbian thing to do.

289 Karen July 30, 2012 at 10:17 am: I read the Kindle version of “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened” and laughed so hard while reading in bed that my husband said it was like sleeping in a seedy motel bed with Magic Fingers. I’d love an autographed copy of the book, if only to better see the photos of creepily adorable long-deceased taxidermified animals.

Congratulations on your success, Jenny!
290 Barbara July 30, 2012 at 10:17 am: Congratulations! I’ve really enjoyed your book – I’ve already read it twice!

Do you know how many weeks it’s gonna take for me to finally get to read it? Like two billion!! If I get chosen I’ll read it then donate it to the library so others can finally enjoy it without living there whole life on the library’s wait list!!

You inspire me, you make me laugh, you make me strive to be a better woman struggling with depression and anxiety. You are a true friend to a bazillion people, even when you’re hiding in the bathroom. Thank you Jenny, for all you do.

305 Heidi July 30, 2012 at 10:18 am: As a school librarian, I feel a bit guilty if I am reading materials other than books for kids or educational stuff. There is always too much new literature coming down the pipeline, and I have to try and stay on top of it. When I am not reading about teen vampires, zombies, and dystopias, I read your blogs. I would love to get your book so that A) I can recommend it to teachers, moms, and other people as twisted as I am B) I have an excuse to break away from teen vampires, zombies, and dystopias. I mean, it’s a gift, right? I can’t just NOT read it if it is a gift?

Congrats on the success you’re experiencing. You’ve made so many of us laugh, feel less alone in the world, and look at life with new perspective. You’re the best! (and so is Viktor!)

You could collect a dubious taxidermy Loch Ness Monster, take a ride in the TARDIS and visit a museum for brains! We have so much to offer!!! Plus, some very swish bathrooms for reatreating to, should the need arise.
Yours in hope (or London, whatever),

A hard copy would be so wonderful…I keep telling my roommate (who, I think, has fallen in love with you) that he needs to read your book, but I had downloaded it because I was too impatient to wait until I could get to the bookstore. He is a slow reader and I do not want to be without my phone (which has my Kindle app) for that long.

Ah well…if I’m not chosen to win, I will probably just buy a hard copy anyway. I tell too many people about it not to have a copy on hand for loaning to them.
322 Denise July 30, 2012 at 10:20 am: Love your book! I had to stop reading it in public because I would laugh out loud and people were looking at me like I was an escaped prisoner . Best book ever!
323 Jen July 30, 2012 at 10:20 am: I recently e-mailed you to tell you that I am in Seattle and on your book tour list…I just didn’t know if I would be alive long enough to make it that far. Your fairy godmother Mary was sweet enough to reply to my e-mail. I’m trying really hard to make it to August, if only to meet you. I can check off one more day now.

That really says something about your craft.
325 Michele July 30, 2012 at 10:21 am: This is like Christmas in July! I would love the audio copy – the book was great!! With my new audio copy I can listen to it on my long commute to work – and laugh until I cry every morning… well maybe I shouldn’t cry because that could cause an accident.. but the audio book would make me a super happy gal! I can’t wait for you in Seattle!
326 Lisa Victoria July 30, 2012 at 10:21 am: You happen to be on the best-seller list STILL because you are spectacularly witty and I’m not just saying that to suck up and win, but because I truly enjoyed your book.
OK – and just a little to suck up if it will swing the odds in my favor…cuz I would so love to hear the audio version.

330 Rachel J July 30, 2012 at 10:21 am: Oooooh, I desperately want an autographed American version. Pick me… But, if you don’t I will probably order one from Changing Hands. So, I guess there is very little incentive for you to pick me. Except that it would make a much better story if I won it than if I ordered it from Arizona. And really, it’s all about having a story to tell, right?

Friend: You should TOTALLY read this book (holds up Lets Pretend this Never Happened)
Me: Please, I was reading her before it was cool
Friend: Did you just turn into a hipster right now?

I hipstered for you. I can’t even look in the mirror. What if I have an ironic mustache?!
350 Allyson July 30, 2012 at 10:22 am: Congrats!!!
351 Christina Goss July 30, 2012 at 10:22 am: one of my best friends told me about your blog and book just this morning. After checking out your blog, belly laughing, and identifying with your anxiety and bathroom retreats i cant wait to read your book!!
352 Tim July 30, 2012 at 10:22 am: A signed copy of your book would make me happier than it’s probably legal to be in the state of Arizona. Also, it would give me something to show my cat, Barkley, because he is a super-fan of your cat, Posey, and is also my own personal psychopath on the other side of the bathroom door. Shortly after reading your book, I found myself in a similar situation caused not by laxative but by an unfortunate Mexican food episode that I’ve probably already said too much about. Anyway, I, too, was alone in my house when the bathroom door handle started jiggling. “Someone’s in here!!”, I heard myself yelling. Then the absurdity of the situation struck me and I started laughing but then Barkley succeeded in opening the door which flew open because he was standing against it and so then I started screaming.

Anyway, in conclusion, a signed copy of your book would make for two very ecstatic Jenny Lawson & Posey super-fans in my house and would also become a cherished family heirloom as we don’t have many nice things.
353 Elly Lou July 30, 2012 at 10:22 am: Im so happy for you. And proud if I can say that without sounding condescending. And also a little disturbed because I read your book and Fifty Shades at the same time and I had some very awkward dreams about you and victor….and wolf blitzer.

355 Nadine July 30, 2012 at 10:23 am: Thank you for including Minneapolis! I was going to stalk you across the country (or Canada if necessary) but now I do it from the comfort of my local suburbia. Yay!
356 Allison July 30, 2012 at 10:23 am: Alas, you’re not comin far enough east for me to even dream of meeting you! Plus silly things like kids, work, and responsibility keep me from packing a bag and going to any of your signings. Le sigh… But the work and you are awesome!!
357 Anna Marie July 30, 2012 at 10:23 am: Thank YOU for all the giggles (and smirks)!
358 Jessica H July 30, 2012 at 10:23 am: I’d love an audio copy, listening to you on the excerpt was 100x funnier than the book (and the book made me nearly crack a rib laughing!), you bring such personality to it

Congratulations on the bestseller list, you totally deserve it! <3

This seems like a great bathroom read…and a hilarious book all around so I wants. Plus my birthday is on thursday so pick me pick me!!!

On a more serious note I’ve been sniffing around you blog for the past few months, and think it’s hilarious and wonderfully honest so thank you

364 Katy July 30, 2012 at 10:23 am: Ooh, I told a friend about your book last night – but I won’t let her borrow my copy, because the last book I gave her was just returned. After five years. BUT if I win an autographed British copy, then she can totally have my boring ol’ American copy.

372 Laura July 30, 2012 at 10:24 am: I would love the audio to share with my mother. She’s blind. I’m deaf and have the hard copy. We find this sort of amusing when we go out together in public. The deaf leading the blind. Until we communicate then it usually ends up reversed.
373 Bethany July 30, 2012 at 10:24 am: Oh, I’d love to win a copy of your book! I’m too cheap to buy one (budget’s tight) and the library doesn’t have one.

382 The Mrs July 30, 2012 at 10:25 am: I borrowed your book from my friend who *is* going to see you in Toronto, and need to give it back to her. She, meanwhile, is in the throes of creative misery as she tries to think of things to give you that will make you laugh so hard you have to lie down.

It’s a strange form of love, but a real one.

386 Lugh July 30, 2012 at 10:25 am: I am very disappointed that you didn’t come anywhere close to the nation’s capital. Really, most of the politicians are imported, and the natives aren’t like that at all. I promise. (And you know how we feel about promises around here!)

You can make it up to me with a book. Because I don’t want any taxidermied animals. And I don’t look good in a dress. And I don’t have enough hair left for those curlers.
387 Chris Dean July 30, 2012 at 10:25 am: I wish I could come up with something wild and witty to say to ensure I was one of the chosen ones, but I’m sorry…that’s why I read you, to avoid the work of trying to be wild and witty! (Please, STOP trying to make me do your job for you! Geeze!)
So I’m just gonna jump up and down in my computer chair, waving my hand wildly in the air while screaming, “Me! Me! Me! Oh oh oh, pick ME!!!!!” (yeah, right up until all the jumping causes a baldder incident, which will TOTALLY be on YOUR head! Thanks a lot…)

388 Emily Corbitt July 30, 2012 at 10:25 am: Jenny Lawson,
Where do I begin? Thank you for your book. It makes me feel a little more sane (which is totally fucking dangerous!). Knowing that Victor has made it through all this gives me great hope for my husband. But what I am really trying to say is that I enjoyed your book so much because we have so many similarities. Well, in part. Except that your anxieties lead you to the bathroom, hanging out like the girl that is too cool for the party while I end up running to the bathroom trying to beat the shit storm my anxieties bring on and then I have people all panicked that they are going to get food poisoning and my husband has to explain not to worry, I do this all the time. Okay, maybe it doesn’t happen quite like that but if we had friends that invited us over it would. That’s why my bathroom is the safest place to be. Desperately trying to hide away from my fears of the world, or from my children and husband. And I am tired of retreading the same damn magazine that is three years old now so now you see why it is so important to have your book. As my safe room supply. And now I find myself wondering if I really want to post this rant for the world to see. Yes! Yes I do! Because if Jenny Lawson can do it, so can I! And if that ends up on a shirt, I want one of those too. Signed, “you are one badass bitch- in a good way” because that’s how you make me feel, Jenny Lawson. And I am grateful. The end. I think. (a sigh of relief that the rambling can now end) (and the obsessive checking of the inbox can begin) (someone stop me please!!!) okay, here is the real end. .

And since I’ve only borrowed a copy from my family members, I would love to have my own. Possibly the British version. So I’m that much closer to being the next Doctor’s companion.

410 The Maven July 30, 2012 at 10:28 am: I don’t generally enter blog giveaways because they’re usually giving out something I will never enjoy. But having a signed copy of your book is, like, shrine-worthy. In fact, if I win a signed copy, I will erect a shrine in my house for said book and post pictures of it on my blog for you. That’s TOTALLY free advertising, which is way better than advertising you pay for. See? Win/win for both of us.

Also, my blog has pictures of carrots with penises, so you’ll fit right in.

Also, I’ll donate the copy of your book that I already have to the families needy children*.

(No, not UNDERPRIVILEGED children, NEEDY children. The type that whine all the time and are never happy? Their parents need some escapism. They also should know how to traumatize their children by using dead squirrel puppets and such. Think about it: We’ll be saving families together.)

I am playing Henry Higgins in a production of Pygmalion, and I have rehearsal that night. I suppose I could call in sick, but that would totally screw everyone else in the cast because Higgins is in almost every scene. So, I’m choosing to do the right thing, but have to miss the chance to meet you as a result. Major bummer. Oh well–I’ll make sure to keep my calendar free for when the tour for your 2nd book comes to town.

I’ve also picked up some of your shout-y capitalization habits.

While reading your book, I laughed like a crazy person many times. I realized that my social anxiety doesn’t mean that I can’t have a voice. And I was encouraged to go learn something new. Point being, you’ve already given me a gift, so this isn’t even a ploy for a signed copy – it’s just to say thank you.

We’re coming to the event in Minnesota. Would love to have your book in my hands for you to sign.
454 Jennifer Ellen July 30, 2012 at 10:34 am: So glad you wrote the book! I’m 3/4 or so the way through, and it’s so good to read about someone else who turned not fitting in into an act of resisting the Borg.
455 Britane July 30, 2012 at 10:34 am: Signing up for an American copy, since I’m planning on buying a copy for my mom and would hate to steal hers in order to read it.

You shouldn’t give a gift without the intention of letting the person KEEP it, after all.
456 jennifer July 30, 2012 at 10:34 am: Take pity upon me! I’m at home with a three week old- my first. Surely I could use your book to break the monotony of midnight feedings!
457 Donnah Moore July 30, 2012 at 10:34 am: Bought this book and loved it! Took my children to the water park, but found it difficult to put the book down long enough to enjoy many of the rides (No judgement here people…my children are older and they don’t want their mother, especially their mother in a bathing suit, following them around). So I just sat in my chair, obnoxiously laughing out loud, while the lady next to me (reading non-fiction) gave me the stink eye!
458 DK July 30, 2012 at 10:34 am: I’m so freaking stoked that you’re coming to Minneapolis. You can bet I’ll be there!

461 Kristen Maes Beattie July 30, 2012 at 10:35 am: would love a copy since 3 of us were trying to share a hard copy and 3 more were stealing wifi from the neighbor to read your blog this weekend!!
462 Andrea July 30, 2012 at 10:35 am: I tried to convince my husband we needed a giant metal chicken for the yard the other day. He wouldn’t go for it. Maybe if I had told him I was going to name it Beyonce he’d be ok with it? I don’t know. I hadn’t come up with a name yet, though. Next time, I’m not asking, I’m just going to surprise him with such things.
463 Stacy July 30, 2012 at 10:35 am: I REALLY, REALLY would love to have an autographed copy. I bought my copy for the Nook. I had planned to come see you in Atlanta but my husband couldn’t get off work to watch the kids

Which is honestly the highest compliment I know to give anyone. Loved listening to your book and now occasionally find myself narrating my life in my head using your voice. You are one of the bravest, funniest women I know. thank you for your blog, and your book.

471 Candice July 30, 2012 at 10:36 am: Your book is the only one that I have ever read and laughed out loud (literally) so much! I would read in bed and start cracking up and my husband was always like, WTH??? Loved it! Can’t wait until your next book!
472 Michael V July 30, 2012 at 10:36 am: I totally need a copy. It was my birthday last week, and people completely neglected to give one to me, in spite of my Amazon wish.ist, which contained (nearly) nothing else.

478 Kirstie July 30, 2012 at 10:37 am: I loved your book, it made me laugh so much. Only problem was that I didn’t have any ethically taxidermied animals to read it with, so I made do with a stuffed toy Tricerotops called Trevor and Eeyor. So congratulations on the book’s success and thank you for making me feel less anxious about my own anxieties/neurosis. My next goal is to get a version of the audiobook in the UK to continue the joy!!
479 Kim July 30, 2012 at 10:37 am: When my boyfriend arrived home(sweden) from a 3 week business trip in canada i dragged him straight to bed and read the Ritz cracker squirrel puppet chapter to him out loud.

(And she totally sympathized about the whole-gynocologist at Starbucks run-in- because she was having to get naked in front of so many doctors back in the spring time. HA!)

538 Summer July 30, 2012 at 10:46 am: I keep entering and hoping to win an audio copy, but thus far the stars have not aligned. I just reread the last two chapters of your book last night for fun, while I was sitting in bed wide awake instead of sleeping. I was SO excited to see that you were coming to the Pacific NW, but unfortunately, you come to Portland on a weekday and it is a 3 hour drive from where I live and I work from 8-6 M-F. Sigh. I want to be there sooooo bad. I hope the tour goes well for you! If you happen to ever find yourself in Bend, Oregon…let me know!!
P.S. I think you’ll love Portland. They pride themselves on being ‘weird.’ It makes me happy.

549 Stacy July 30, 2012 at 10:47 am: Jenny,

I posted this on your Facebook Page but I want to post it here as well.

My daughter was born with Amniotic Band Syndrome and is missing her left arm from the elbow down. Some wonderful ladies at my Sister-In-Laws Church have started fundraising to buy her a prosthetic arm. Would you share the link to her Facebook Page to help get the word out? She’s a beautiful little girl but she just wants to look a little more like other girls. She doesn’t want to be stared at all the time anymore. She just wants to feel like a regular kid. It reminds me so much of your Traveling Red Dress.

This is her Facebook Page. https://www.facebook.com/aislynsdreamz

Could you please tweet or write about my beautiful little girl and get the word out? I would never dream of asking for help for myself. But for her… I’d do anything.

Thanks for making work less productive . hahaha

572 Kristen Swift July 30, 2012 at 10:51 am: Congratulations on the success of this amazing book, and kicking off the last leg of the book tour. I was so upset I wasn’t able to come see you when you were in Annapolis, MD.
573 Brandy Loves the Bloggess July 30, 2012 at 10:51 am: Oooooh, pick me!! (this is always my handle on blog comments, on any blog, btw! )
574 Bikil July 30, 2012 at 10:51 am: I would so love a copy of your book! I haven’t been able to get it for sad sad financial reasons, so a free one would take care of that completely!

You should come to SLC, UT (otherwise known as SL,UT <– see what I did there? the irony? no? awwww shucks!). I know a non-zero number of people who would LURVE to come see you!
575 Linda July 30, 2012 at 10:51 am: Because you wear curlers with class, gift your husband with temporary exotic pets, and are always a shining light, I promise to read portions of your book to my undergraduate students each week if I can find appropriate passages. They need your wisdom!

582 Amanda July 30, 2012 at 10:53 am: your book is on my ‘read this soon’ list.
583 Amy Furg. July 30, 2012 at 10:53 am: Thank you for showing “crazy” is okay, thankyouverymuch! Our book club read your book as last month’s selection and thought it was the perfect fun summer read. We also think Victor is a saint, made up, or in denial. Could go any of those ways, really… But, since my folks are moving into the Hill Country area now, if I ever hope to have an accidental celebrity run-in, I’ll need to frequent the odd antique shops that are everywhere, particularly if they sell dead stuffed things.

Thanks for the gift of you and happy writing #2! (The book, that is, not… well… you know!!)

your stories are such great comic relief..thank you!
589 Ioana July 30, 2012 at 10:55 am: I’d just die of happiness if I had an autographed British version of your book. Then come back as a zombie because I have to read it. But if I die of happiness I’d be a happy zombie! So it’s all pretty great in the end! And I’d read it every single day since it’s that kind of amazing.

Thanks for giving us this opportunity!
590 Melanie July 30, 2012 at 10:55 am: I would love to win a copy! I’ve been wanting to read it, but big car repairs meant we have no spare cash right now.

592 Pat Calchera July 30, 2012 at 10:55 am: You make me happy every time I read one of your blog entries or reread your book. Yes, I would certainly love to win a copy, so I’d be sure to not freak out when they didn’t return my other copy. I wish you safe travels and continued success! You certainly deserve it!
593 Heather July 30, 2012 at 10:56 am: The audio version would be so awesome because I can only read so much at a time. I start laughing so hard that I can’t see from the tears of laughter and have to stop. Although the British cover would be super cool to have too.

599 Peg July 30, 2012 at 10:58 am: When you came through the Washington DC area, I was in the middle of projects for school and was not able to attend any of your book signings. I cried for days and days. My sister was able to see you in North Carolina and she holds that over my head when ever she gets the chance. I would love to a signed British Version to hold over HER head … or a signed American version. Which ever one you could spare for a poor starving student.
600 Kristen Imler July 30, 2012 at 10:58 am: I would LOVE a copy of the UK version! I already have a copy of the American version and the audio book (preordered both through Amazon) but the UK version has a GREAT cover
601 Jessica July 30, 2012 at 10:58 am: I would LOVE a copy of the British version (being Canadian, and all). I’d try to be all witty and whatnot, but I’m the 560th (or thereabouts) comment, and you’ve probaby stopped reading them at this point, so: congratulations on your book. Well deserved success.
602 Dana July 30, 2012 at 10:58 am: Love you and your book and the bogs, Keep us laughing Jenny!

611 Hilary July 30, 2012 at 11:00 am: This tour must be so exciting/nerve-wracking! I went to see you in Brookline and the room was so crowded I couldn’t get in! (My sister’s fault, not mine, that we weren’t very early… but we weren’t at all late, either!)

Anyways, congrats on all your success!
612 Abby Broadstone July 30, 2012 at 11:00 am: Your book is on my reading list. I’d really REALLY love to win the book because I am pretty cheap, and the idea of a signed copy would make a dream come true (American Version please)

615 Jennifer July 30, 2012 at 11:00 am: I love your blog and cannot wait to read your book – it is on my list. I have a sister that has mental health issues, and reading your posts helps me deal with her day to day. Thank you so much! I’m sure the book will help wonders!

Truly,

616 Steve July 30, 2012 at 11:00 am: Ooh, I’d love to get an autographed copy for my wife – she already has it, but an autographed one would be so much better! Congrats on doing so well, but we’re not surprised, as we’re both fans.
617 Pat July 30, 2012 at 11:01 am: I tried reading your book in bed at night but my husband got ticked when I kept laughing out loud. Then since he was awake, I had to read parts to him. Not the best time to make new fans!
618 Melissa July 30, 2012 at 11:01 am: A couple of my friends have read your book and laughed the entire time. I’m getting married at the end of August and would love to read over my honeymoon… either with a copy from you or I’ll go pick one up myself. Congrats on the success of your book!
619 didih July 30, 2012 at 11:01 am: I just booked my hotel in Toronto! Can’t wait to met you!!!

630 Kellye July 30, 2012 at 11:04 am: From one Texan to another… You should totally send me a copy of your book. When I first found your blog, I was reading through some posts, laughing SO HARD! My husband was all, wtf, woman? So I just told him he needed to read it too. He laughed, but I think still just thought I was nuts. Then again, probably pretty accurate.
631 Amanda July 30, 2012 at 11:04 am: I’m so excited to see you in San Diego I keep capslocking about it to my boss.

One question….is the British version written in English and the American version written in American? English and American seem to be two totally different languages these days.

656 Russ Rogers July 30, 2012 at 11:09 am: I started following you back when you wrote about meeting Neil Gaiman at w00tstock! I’ve been a follower and fan of Gaiman’s for decades. And I am a fan of w00tstock (Paul and Storm, Adam Savage, Wil Wheaton and most of the acts they have booked). I’m now a fan and follower of yours.

There is a force in the universe, I like to call, “The Confluence of Awesome.” It’s like the six degrees of separation in reverse. Or maybe it’s like “The Force,” in Star Wars. This theory states that All the people you think are Awesome eventually cross paths, or you will feel a profound need to make that happen and bring them together. It’s the some force that makes people set up their friends on blind dates. So it’s not always a force for good.

I put your book on my Amazon Wish List. http://www.amazon.com/Lets-Pretend-This-Never-Happened/dp/0399159010/ I will pick it up when I can afford it. (Either when it comes out in paperback or a used copy goes up that I can afford comes up. ) That won’t be too long.

This is my roundabout way of saying that I think you are awesome. And I hope you get a chance to meet Laurie Anderson, Molly Lewis, Marian Call, Jules Sherred, Maria Bamford, Regina Spektor, Jackie Kashian, Mary Jo Pehl, Jade Gordon and the Fabulous Lorraine Garland soon. My guess is several of these women have crossed your path already. All are Awesome too. And to prove my theory right, whatever force governs the “Confluence of Awesome” should have you crossing paths with them sometime soon.

Did you hear about Wil Wheaton’s birthday party? THAT was a manifestation of “The Confluence.” One you know about “The Confluence of Awesome,” you won’t be able to stop recognizing when it happens.
657 Linda Peterson July 30, 2012 at 11:09 am: I bought the book, but would love the CD—I could then listen to it as I walk—love your writing!!!
658 Kristy July 30, 2012 at 11:09 am: I’m reading your book now and absolutely LOVE it! It never fails to make me laugh out loud on every page.
659 Sarah July 30, 2012 at 11:09 am: I’ve never commented before, but I’ve spent many (re: all) hours at work combing through your archives after reading your book. It was a much needed break in my own storm of depression. When my bipolar lows start to dip I now have a much needed outlet. Thank you for putting all of your craziness together. I’ve read it twice now and peed a little from laughing more times than I can count.

667 Alex July 30, 2012 at 11:13 am: You are an inspiration in a world where the world seems to get worse every day. Bringing joy to people is the only way I know how to offset the depression that threatens to creep back in every so often and obviously that doesn’t always work. I’m a senior in college near Austin and I have no clue what I’m going to do with my life. All I want is to inspire others and make the world a bit better. You’re one of my role models and my life has been forever changed for the better because of you, your blog, your cats, and your various purchases (I even got a metal lawn peacock in honor of Beyonce; his name is Penelope).

Have a beautiful day, I’m terribly sad to not have been able to make it to the Austin book signing but I had class and could not miss it under penalty of failing…I hope you’ll be back around soon.

Alex

689 Leslie Ross July 30, 2012 at 11:17 am: I am really hoping to make it to your Portland appearance! Thanks for coming out to our side of the country. I’ve already listened to your audio book, but would love the American hard copy as well!
690 Kelly P July 30, 2012 at 11:18 am: I loved your book so much. Thanks for the chance to win one

693 Heather July 30, 2012 at 11:18 am: I do so wish that I lived near any of the tour cities! I’d love the audio cd. I’ve already read the book but fantasize about laughing like a mad person while working out at the gym while others look on bewildered.

698 Simon July 30, 2012 at 11:20 am: My boyfriend and I are both really interested in reading your book, but we haven’t gotten a chance to buy a copy yet. Our first anniversary is coming up in just under a month, and I think, “what better gift could I get him than a signed copy of this book?!”
699 ALKD July 30, 2012 at 11:20 am: I would LOVE a copy of the audio book! I am waiting very patiently until my next month’s paycheck so I am allowed more books & can buy yours for my nook.

You are one of the best bloggers/writers out there, and I look forward to reading along as you continue on this path. I get so excited when my RSS feed notifies me you have a new post on your site! The support you have is all because of the kind, open, and generous person you are. You encourage us all to be a little more vulnerable so that we can be open to just a bit more happiness. It’s nothing to sniff at.

706 Helen July 30, 2012 at 11:23 am: Fantastic!! Wish I could have seen you in Austin.
707 KatieKates July 30, 2012 at 11:23 am: I still haven’t gotten your book, so i am not one of the people you should thank, but I’m going to thank you. You are such an inspiration to be awesome and be yourself and just be. I mean life handed you shitty thing and after shitty thing and you took the knocks and said “knock knock mother fucker”. You’re my hero. You have no idea. I wish you would come to philly so i could hide in the back and cry and then run away without a signature but know in my heart i was there to see you. You are awesome, so thanks. Crying at work again – you owe me the book

709 sunday white July 30, 2012 at 11:24 am: So excited you are coming to Portland!
So sad we will not be in town when you are coming to Portland….

My first exposure to you was my wife reading to me about the monkey hands. A shirt while later, I got to read your blog post about the travelling red dress. I have had lots of mini battles with depressing, confidence, body image. Your blog gives me joy, hope, comraderie. Thank you.

Would love an opportunity to win a book to give to my wife. Barring that, I need to contact Arizona after the mortgage is paid…

Rock on sister!
710 Anna N July 30, 2012 at 11:24 am: I’d love a physical copy of your book! It’s on my list of things to reward myself with once I finish writing this loooong paper, but that’s very far away and luck doesn’t count, right? I was trying to look up a fitting saying but I have no idea what horses or their shoes have to do with it.
711 Cathy F July 30, 2012 at 11:24 am: I would love to win a copy of your book! I always laugh out loud while reading your blog, and my family has come to accept spurts of poorly hidden giggles from the couch when I have my laptop out.
712 Tracy Morkunas July 30, 2012 at 11:24 am: I would absolutly love an american copy of your book. The ladies at work and I think you are hilarious. and actually we have a framed picture of your metal chicken hanging in our office. Wish I could have made one of your book signings. Stay awesomely different!
713 Terri in SF July 30, 2012 at 11:24 am: Do you read the British version in a British accent? Cuz I totally want that if you do.

721 Eri July 30, 2012 at 11:27 am: I would love to win a copy of the book, simply because I could then give my copy away to someone else and bring your words to someone who doesn’t know them. I found your book inspiring, funny, and real. I wish I could meet you in person, I do, but you haven’t come close enough to my hometown. Maybe one day! Be safe on your journey!

723 Kira July 30, 2012 at 11:27 am: Would love copy of the British edition, especially since my book money jar is empty and I am chewing my nails to get some funds to buy your book… and your love of taxidermy reminds me of the “Squirrel people” from Christopher Moore’s Dirty Job, which gives you special kudo points in my heart…
724 Bluenoser July 30, 2012 at 11:27 am: You should drop by Halifax while you’re visiting Toronto. They’re really close together. Honest! Okay, it’s a 20 hour drive. Very scenic, though. Love your blog and would love to have a copy of the book. Thanks!
725 Marridle July 30, 2012 at 11:27 am: I read your book on holiday in Tenerife & it made my holiday! I live in Scotland & so had a bit of trouble with the heat as not used to it at all. Would love an Audio version of the book, pretty please x

730 Sarah July 30, 2012 at 11:28 am: the best part about your book was how perturbed my husband was that i kept randomly laughing out loud while reading it. if you gave me a signed copy, i would put you on the shelf next to my signed Isabel Allende books. and then i’d let someone borrow my unsigned copy, which would dramatically increase happiness in the world.
731 Sarah Brown July 30, 2012 at 11:28 am: I love you book to the point of sharing my copy with my HR lead. We have spent many lunch breaks giggling at all the HR moments we have shared. I would love to win another copy so I can spread the shenanigans.
732 Wanda July 30, 2012 at 11:28 am: Would love the British version. You need to tell people that there’s a bonus chapter on the audio version. And I loved the sound booth ramblings at the end.
733 RhonG31 July 30, 2012 at 11:28 am: Just finished reading the book. I spent the last few nights laughing, crying and reading outloud to anyone who was in the room … or the universe if I was alone in the room. A signed copy would mean I have your exceptionally valuable autograph, and will be able to share the one I paid for with friends and relatives (who didn’t hear my personal audio version because they were asleep … or in another town)!
734 Parul July 30, 2012 at 11:29 am: Congratulations on your great success! This is a testament to your unorthodox humor which seems perfectly normal to the rest of us

While reading at bedtime one night, your acupuncture story and your vulture/digging up the dog story had me wheezing with silent shrieks of hilarity, trying not to disturb my poor friend in the bed next to me. Solid gold. I’ve recommended it to about a dozen people already. Would love a signed copy!

752 carolynk July 30, 2012 at 11:33 am: I adored the book and you success is well deserved. I have even read edited parts of it and the blog to my 9 and 11 year old children and they roll on the floor laughing. It is comforting for them to know that they are in Double Unicorn Success Club even when they are feeling stabby. Sadly our weird conversations about these things in grocery stores tend to scare the very old and the very young. Also could you ask Copernicus to stop crank calling my son — its making him feel stabby.

We all have issues and we deal…that’s life. But you are a perfectly picked bouquet for the souls of all of us that frequently visit the “Dark Side”. So thank you so much for being you, and sharing yourself with all of us.

783 Joanna July 30, 2012 at 11:44 am: Ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease pick me!! I pre-ordered your book in January, patiently waited until April, it arrived from Amazon a day after it came out, I had the sticker with your signature, which I promply, proudly put on the title page (almost as if you’d signed it yourself originally, or so I convinced myself) and was so excited to read it… I took it on the Acela train from Boston to CT when visiting friends, and apparently, I left it on the train in my haste to not miss my stop. I was so sad that I’ve been stalking the train stations in Boston and DC weekly hoping that the book will turn up… I would be so happy to get another copy, signed for real!!!! Thank you so much!!!

Ps, I’ll still heart you and read even if you dont pick me. But, (i may be biased) I really think you should pick me!

790 Christy July 30, 2012 at 11:47 am: I’d love a signed copy of your book…because 1. I’d love to read it, but am too lazy to go check it out from the library, and 2. Am kind of cheap, so I don’t really want to buy it just to read it once. I’m going for honestly points here. Also, your blog is a great way I’ve used to connect with the college students I work with.

793 christie July 30, 2012 at 11:49 am: I would love to have the audio cd! I’ve read so many of your posts to my husband and said “she’s just like me!!” Like the Snoopy Sno Cone maker, I wanted one of those SOOOOO much when I was little — never got one. Also, my husband is an electrician and when he was out of town several years ago, a fuse blew. He tried to tell me what to do over the phone; I just lived the next few days with only a partially lit house…
794 Justine July 30, 2012 at 11:49 am: In all honesty I’ve read over half of the book ….and I’m scared to keep reading it because then it’ll be over and I will have no idea what the hell to do with myself, nor will I have such an amazing source of entertainment to get me through those really shitty days. Then again, I could just read it 12, or maybe 43 more times..(and I’m not just saying that so I can get a signed copy, or maybe I am. I’d like 5 copies please and thanks).
795 Sarah Anne M July 30, 2012 at 11:49 am: I bought your book shortly after it came out, and I’ve read a few chapters. I have laughed, cried, and nearly peed myself. I have also had several people buy your book on my recommendation. However, I feel like I will never finish your book because I have 2 small children (2 and almost 5 months) and I’m in school full time set to graduate in December. I’m hoping to get a job in PR, mostly so I can show guys pictures of their penis-es (penisis? peni?) that they’ve emailed to people. Anyways, I would LOVE to get a CD Audio copy of the book so I can listen to it on my way to and from school. Plus, as I already imagine your voice reading the book in my head, it would be BAD ASS to hear you actually read it!!
796 Meaghan July 30, 2012 at 11:49 am: Your book provided me and my family some much needed laughs during a very sad time. I have since read it twice more and I continue to laugh each time. Thank you for sharing your story
797 Dawn July 30, 2012 at 11:49 am: Good luck, Jenny!!!
798 Sam July 30, 2012 at 11:49 am: You deserve every single bit of this success! Good things come to good people and ours about damn time the universe started to see your awesomeness!

I would love to have a signed copy of your book or the audio book. You could sign a dirty sock and send it to me for all I care! I’d be super excited to have anything that you’ve autographed! You could sign H.S.T and send him to, just sayin…
799 Leslie Charles July 30, 2012 at 11:49 am: At our last book club meeting we discussed Let’s Pretend…
One of our members asked if anyone in our group would like to have you as a friend, which I thought was a great question.
I was the only one who said yes (I’m drawn to eccentric people and I’ve been entranced with you since my first blog read of yours, which happened to be the one about Beyonce).
You had me at “shiv.”
I’d love to be chosen but there are probably better missives than minel
800 Stacey July 30, 2012 at 11:49 am: I would love to win a hard copy version. I read on my nook. On a plane. Let’s just say laughing so much really pissed off the douchey hipster next to me.
801 Caty July 30, 2012 at 11:49 am: I wish I could have made it to a reading for a signed book. I did think of Beyonce while driving around the South the other week because apparently, giant metal chickens are popular down there…Kinda wish the car would have supported one to bring back North!
802 moooooog35 July 30, 2012 at 11:50 am: If I win I’d like the British version just to finally be able to hear you in my head with that accent.

I’ll be telling all my friends about you…truly great!

808 cher (not the famous one) July 30, 2012 at 11:52 am: I come to your blog a lot when I’m feeling triggered (self-harmer 19 weeks and 3 days since the last time!). I’ll read back posts until I’m feeling better (or laughing so hard that I pee myself a little). It’s a great distraction tool! Keep on rocking and making us out here in internet land smile!

809 Tracy July 30, 2012 at 11:52 am: I would love a copy of your book. You are hilarious and I can’t wait to read it.
810 Rachzilla July 30, 2012 at 11:52 am: Really wish you could make it over to the UK for a signing. One of the castles in England (think it was Warwick) has a 6ft stuffed brown bear holding a tray like a waiter. I would so have taken you there and most likely helped you try and steal it! I probably still even have a photo of it somewhere….
811 Sarah Anne M July 30, 2012 at 11:53 am: That is a job in HR, NOT PR. Damn letters.
812 AB July 30, 2012 at 11:54 am: I would love a signed copy of your book. I live in Denmark, and just revisited USA this Spring after living there three years ago. And I didn’t get to buy it, when I was there. I would prefer the American version, but British would also do nicely

And congratulations with all the success you’ve had with the book. You deserve it!

Someone stole it from me in the gift giving swap (I was glad, but got something equally as stupid in return). My dear husband, who after 41 years of marriage STILL does not know me, stole the creamer and sugar bowl back, thinking I LIKED it. Sweet, dear, just sweet.

You deserve all this success and continue to inspire me and remind me I’m not alone. I’m willing to take whatever you sign (books, tshirts, unicorns, etc) to put on the shrine I have to all things awesome. Well….it’s also known as my bookshelf but that’s a story for another time.

826 Sean R. July 30, 2012 at 11:58 am: I would love a signed copy, if for no other reason than to be able to stop contributing to my 401K and just sell my copy before retiring comfortably. And I enjoyed this blog, though I was disappointed when I clicked the “Click here for dates” link. Let’s just say I’ll stick with eHarmony for my online match-making. Totally misleading.
827 BridgetH July 30, 2012 at 11:59 am: Of all the times you decide to come to Phoenix – and in the summer no less — I will be out of town. I am beyond bummed. Absolutely LOVED your book. You make my day – every day! Keep it up, girl.

829 Laura Ehlers July 30, 2012 at 12:00 pm: My family was never happier for me to finish a book as when I read the last chapter of yours. They were exhausted from trying to figure out just what insanity I was laughing at and are pretty much convinced that you must be my long lost little sister. (don’t tell my real little sister this. she is quite use to being the middle child and will be really pissed off to find her entire life was based on a lie.)
830 Dani Whitener July 30, 2012 at 12:00 pm: I got your book from the library but I’d love a copy of my own! I’ve been telling anyone and everyone who’ll listen that they need to read your book. (including Jen from Cake Wrecks!) You made me laugh really hard when I didn’t have a lot to laugh about lately. Thank you!

The stories are well told, engaging, and often scream-out-loud hysterical. Elements of it are quite touching. I have no need for another signed copy of this work. If this comment wins, donate it to someone else. However, if there is a queue to join to buy the NEXT thing you write, please add me to it.
837 Kara Gordon July 30, 2012 at 12:03 pm: You are the funniest writer I have ever read, and I’m dying to get a copy of your book. Due to our family recently adopting, funds are low. So getting a free copy would be the icing on the cake!

I’m also now slightly obsessed with everything you do and hope to one day find a Jefferson Peabody of my very own!

874 Mindy July 30, 2012 at 12:16 pm: Reading your book while working out makes the time fly, yet I never read the first two pages of a chapter at the gym, because I don’t want the people around me to see the chapter titles and think I’m a freak. I just flip ahead and reread them later at home. The chapter titles are awesome. They could be in a smaller font size though.

909 turtlesong July 30, 2012 at 12:31 pm: thanks for the opportunity to order a signed copy. i didn’t think i’d be able to get one and it was important to me to have it. <3
910 Nicole July 30, 2012 at 12:32 pm: I love that you’re still on the best sellers list. <3 I think you should give yourself some credit on the awesome book:)
911 Nikki July 30, 2012 at 12:32 pm: Thank you, dear one, for bringing so much love and awesome oddness to the world.
912 Mollie July 30, 2012 at 12:32 pm: UK version please!! I have the audiobook, but I’d love a hardcopy!
913 Sarah July 30, 2012 at 12:32 pm: I would love the American version! Congrats on your success! I’m currently reading it – my best friend lent the book to me. I’d love to return the new one with the autograph! I love that you say all the things I think. I too have conversations with myself and recalculate before saying aloud. haha

Best wishes!
914 Amanda July 30, 2012 at 12:32 pm: I would love a copy of the audiobook. Thanks for the chance
915 Allie July 30, 2012 at 12:32 pm: Man, I wish I could afford to buy a copy. Maybe my library will get one soon!
916 Matthew Miller July 30, 2012 at 12:32 pm: I’ve sent you book to a friend in the UK, loaned a copy to my sister-in-law and sent another copy as a gift to a friend in the DC area. After hearing you read in Brookline, I have no choice but to listen to the audio book at some point.

Now that you’re on the bestseller list, I get to be all hipster about reading your blog, and point out I was reading it BEFORE the book came out.

I think I get why you start telling random stories when in public. I do something similar. Instead of telling a story about being stabbed in the face by a serial killer, I start rambling endlessly about brewing beer or some geeky computer related topic. On the topic of beer, my friends have been raving about my Cherry Chocolate Stout, so if you send me a copy of the audio book, I’ll send you some beer.

Deal?

927 Desiree Green July 30, 2012 at 12:36 pm: I would absolutely love your audiobook, that would be incredible. I am currently reading your book, sadly it was loaned to me by my boyfriend as I cannot afford my own, but I’d LOVE to be able to actually hear you saying all the things that make me giggle my knickers off. I’ve also heard of your infamous bloopers and cannot help but wonder what they could be!

Thanks for this awesome opportunity, you are wonderful!

You’ve given me reason to laugh when I needed it most (battling cancer sucks ass, by the way), and I will re-read your book again and again. I *will* be there in Phoenix….just looking forward to saying thanks, in person.

949 Rikke July 30, 2012 at 12:45 pm: I’d love a copy of the book. Be it the American or British version is completely irrelevant.

Your book has been on my amazon list for ever since I discovered it earlier this year, I have yet to have any money to spare on what my bank adviser deems a “silly little book”.
950 Ceej July 30, 2012 at 12:47 pm: I can’t wait to see you in AZ!!
951 Pam July 30, 2012 at 12:47 pm: Love the book it changed my life! I work at a library in Canada and came across your book. When I saw the cover, it pulled me in and the title is a phrase I mutter in my head often. Then I read the introduction and was ‘shssed’ by another librarian for being to noisy in the library. I guess laughing hysterically is frowned upon. But the request list to borrow your book was in the hundreds so I ran out and bought a copy. I have not laughed so hard over a book that I had tears streaming down my eyes and I do this really weird laugh because I can barely breathe. My daughter thought I was having a seizure while my husband reassured her if I passed out it would be for only a few seconds. This was a month ago. I have been reading your blog daily ever since. I’m sort of a late bloomer. However through your book and blog I am finding many kindred spirits with similar humour and understanding of the world. Thank you so much for writing it!!! I wish I lived near Toronto, but I am 3000 kilometers away and my husband is all “well we don’t have the money blah, blah, blah” and truthfully I just tune him out at that point. But welcome to Canada and have a wonderful tour!!! We love you in Canada!
952 Bailey July 30, 2012 at 12:48 pm: Ok CLEARLY a lot of people want to win this. I do to, however I am coming to your book signing in Portland! No way in hell am I going to miss that! So as much as I would LOVE to win a signed copy, maybe to bury in a time capsule and in 100 years my great great great great grandchildren can dig it up, and everyone can remember the awesomeness that is Jenny! Just a thought.

I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you
But I get the feeling that you don’t like it
What’s with all the screaming?
You like monkeys, you like ponies
Maybe you don’t like monsters so much
Maybe I used too many monkeys
Isn’t it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?

962 Kate Ginev July 30, 2012 at 12:53 pm: i absolutely adore you. you’re flipping hilarious & i literally laugh outloud everytime i come to your blog. aside from the obvious, i’m also in awe of you for being brave enough to be open about your depression & anxiety issues. i suffer from them as well (mostly depression) & always did it silently. i love that you were brave enough to open up about it, not in a “oh poor me” kind of way, but more in a “it is what it is” kind of way. that said, you’ve given me strength by reminding me that depression lies-something i honestly never realized before. you’ve given me a new outlook on life & i’m sure i’m one of many. thank you for being you. and congrats on writing what i’m sure is an amazeballs book! :0)
963 Abby Shields July 30, 2012 at 12:53 pm: I’d love to win a hard copy! I wish some part of your tour had come close enough to travel too. I’ve got both my mom and sister reading your blog now.

Thanks!
969 Sasha July 30, 2012 at 12:57 pm: I recently read your book to my best friend while I was helping care for her after she had surgery and now have her hooked on you! I’ve got a surgery of my own coming up in a few weeks and the audiobook would be fabulous entertainment while I’m recovering. The laughing would probably hurt, but it would be totally worth it!

All the best for your last leg of your tour – I was lucky enough to listen to you read and get my book signed while you were in Maryland!
970 elaine kurpiel July 30, 2012 at 12:57 pm: Jenny, I have read your book 1 1/2 times ( rereading parts over ). It is funny; a little sad especially the anxiety part – the anxiety isn’t funny; honest; human (!); and the fact that you have enough trust and faith and humor to open yourself to others. Now you know that opening up has made you more human, allowed others to identify with you, and just plain love you. This is probably real syrupy and I hope you don’t get high blood sugar from it but — the sentiments come from my heart. Your book should be mandatory reading for humans, animal lovers, taxidermy lovers ( I am not one of those ), and family-lovers. Did I miss anyone? Oh yeah! Republicans. They won’t understand but it is worth a try. Take care. Elaine
971 Pingu July 30, 2012 at 12:58 pm: That’s really generous of you. I’d love to be considered for the British version. I hope the tour continues to go well for you.

I always read the dialogues between you and Victor to my husband; we both get a chuckle out of them. I would have bought a copy of your book, but between the student loans I took out for my now worthless college degree and being unemployed, I have little money to buy much of anything.

I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. I used the word winkus in a recent story (Misunderstood) and now my blog has been classified as porn by a few of the filter software packages so some of my readers can’t get to it anymore. My grandma used the word winkus. How bad can it be? I suppose I could just switch out winkus for motherfucker and see if that gets through the filter monsters instead. Enjoy your visit to Canada, where they have fine examples of taxidermy for sale. Safe trip.

1011 Becky S. July 30, 2012 at 1:16 pm: My coworkers ask me every morning if The Bloggess has posted something yet, because I read your posts out loud to them during the monotonous sections of our (quite repetitive) job. I bought your book the first day it came out, and I’ve lent it to several friends who have also fallen in love with it. I am so glad that you wrote it, and gave me a way to show people that no matter what kind of broken you are, you can still be amazing.

(And I have to say, my favorite posts are the ones about your growing taxidermy collection. As I type this comment, completely ignoring my need to take inventory, a large cattle skull named Rosencrantz is staring over my shoulder, judging my lack of productivity. It’s nice to not be the only person I know who names the dead things around her.)

1018 michelle July 30, 2012 at 1:19 pm: Your site cracks me up! Congratulations on the huge book success!
1019 Suzanne July 30, 2012 at 1:20 pm: I’d love a hard copy, I have the Kindle version, but I keep wishing I’d bought a hard copy. I’ve told everyone I know to read your book, and if your stories weren’t so funny, my husband would be sick of hearing about you! Best of luck on the next leg of your book tour and if you have another one, you should make a stop in Savannah!
1020 Meghan July 30, 2012 at 1:21 pm: I love your book I read it on my Kindle, but have my autographed name plate on my fridge at home and smile at it when it catches my eye.
1021 Patti July 30, 2012 at 1:21 pm: Wish I lived closer to Toronto at a time like this! Congratulations on a successful tour and you deserve to be on everyone’s “Best” list!
1022 Robert F-C July 30, 2012 at 1:22 pm: Jenny, I knew what I was getting into when I picked up the book. However, I clearly should have warned the people on the plane taking the red eye home with us from Denver last week. In the bright pool of light on an otherwise dark plane, there I sat, giggling, chorteling and trying so hard to repress my laughter I was crying. My husband was not amused or asleep. He knew better and should have stopped me, so he had it coming.
I work as a therapist and will be buying a few copies to give to some of the people I think could benefit from a good soul lifting laugh. I’d love an autographed copy.
Thank you! thank you for writing the book
Robert.
1023 Shannon Morris July 30, 2012 at 1:23 pm: I live basically in the middle of nowhere so I couldn’t attend any of your signings, but I’d love a copy of the book! I think you are hilarious! Was checking out your pinterest boards the other day and totally cracking up!
1024 John July 30, 2012 at 1:23 pm: Love, love, love your blog and book! Wish I could get to one of your stops!

1030 Kaye S. July 30, 2012 at 1:26 pm: This book is fabulous! I would love the audio version even though I am afraid it will make me pee my pants.
1031 Stephanie July 30, 2012 at 1:27 pm: I’d love a hard copy! I bought the Kindle version only to immediatly regret that decision – I’m a hard copy nerd! I loved your book so much, I read it twice within a month, and recommend it to anyone who will listen!

1062 Marion July 30, 2012 at 1:42 pm: My sister-in-law and mother-in-law will be at your Tempe, AZ, book signing with our copy we pre-ordered long before it was out. Look for the one from “Doug and Marion” with the crazy pic on an inside page. You’ve written a wonderful book — looking forward to the next one.
1063 CrankyBytch July 30, 2012 at 1:43 pm: I’m coming to see you in Toronto. There. I said it so it must be true. Panic disorder be damned! What sealed the deal was the fact that I read that you do “quick ninja signings” in the parking lot after events sometimes. If I have a panic attack, wet myself and pass out during the signing/reading, I can at least get an autograph. Totally embarrassed. In wet pants. Sigh.
Please just give me a free copy of your book out of pity. I bought/read the digital version, but you can’t sign that.
1064 Amber July 30, 2012 at 1:44 pm: You know what’s NOT in Toronto? Calgary. DAMMIT!

I would like a signed book. In fact, I feel I deserve one to get over the pain of not living in Ontario anymore. I was really hoping to hang in a public bathroom with you and a flask of vodka.

Ah well.

1066 Emmy July 30, 2012 at 1:46 pm: Here’s my self-serving comment that shows that I would like to acquire free stuff.
In all seriousness though, congrats for your success. The more successful you are, the better off I am, because I very often retreat to Bloggess-based humor when I get hit with one of my depressive lows. You are an inspiration to us mood-disorder sufferers. Cheers!
1067 EM July 30, 2012 at 1:46 pm: I desperately need a pick me up and would love to win a copy of your book! I am an avid reader, though I have limited personal funds available to purchase books and my local library wait list is in triple digits! Your writing is inspirational and piss your pants funny. If I could apply an ounce of your good humor and wit to my daily life, it would change my world. Warm regards, keep it rocking sisterpants.

Congratulations on your success. It’s not like it fell from a big metal chicken. You sweated blood for it.
1125 Tiggermom July 30, 2012 at 2:30 pm: I have purchased three of your unbelievably delightful books. One was for me, but I ended up giving it to my daughter so she can understand how lucky she is to have a mother like me who grew up quite similar to you (a summer spent living in a tent in Maine while attending a glass blowing artists’ convention(?) comes to mind)- we’re the ones who make life interesting. The second book was bought for, and given to, a wonderful woman who has endured one of the roughest years anyone could never hope to endure- but even with all this pain and unhappiness she loaned it to her two daughters (one of which bought her own so she could reread it) before she started reading it- there’s nothing like reading absolutely hysterical humor while you are getting multiple shots in the rump every weekend for an illness. The third book is mine (for a short time). I am currently taking a friend to counseling and find it quite fun to read your book while sitting in the waiting room. Even though I am half-way finished, I have now started at the beginning again, so I’m getting two books for the price of one!
1126 Molly Burns July 30, 2012 at 2:30 pm: I am so thrilled for you! My friend just recommended your book to me. I told her it was on my To Read list and she said “Move it to the top!” An utterly wholehearted recommendation. Oh, and pick me and I’ll send you a picture of me collating paper! I know. It’s just not as cool as Wil Wheaton. Dangit! Is anything as cool as Wil Wheaton?

Next time come to Montreal. I do love Toronto, but if Toronto is a nice wine, then Montreal is champagne. Toronto is cotton briefs, Montreal is a lacy thong. Toronto is broiled fish, Montreal is caviar. Toronto is…okay, you get the point.

1137 B-Li July 30, 2012 at 2:38 pm: Oh, how I luuuurve your book and blog! It is so very nice to know there are others in the world who share my completely whacked sense of humor (not to mention my issues!) I would love a Hamlet von Schnitzel of my very own, but, alas, I cannot deprive you of yours and haven’t seen any on eBay recently. So I suppose I will just hope I am one of the lucky winners and you are kind enough to bestow a personalized copy of the UK printing onto (unto?) my person. I’m reading my US copy to pieces. You are a delight and thank you for sharing yourself with the wonky world
1138 Sara July 30, 2012 at 2:38 pm: I read your book on my Kindle in one day, but I would love to have an Audio CD so I can hear you tell your stories in the voice you meant for them to be told!
1139 Leslie f. July 30, 2012 at 2:38 pm: I loved the kindle version! Thanks for the giveaway!
1140 Leila July 30, 2012 at 2:38 pm: Wow, a BRITISH version? How does that work, exactly? Do they just spell things differently, like “flavour” vs “flavor”, or do you say completely different things in upper-crust British accents like “Victor said, “you absolutely MUST not bring that dead animal in, lovie, it just won’t DO,” and then YOU respond with “Victor, you’re being a complete ASS, dear. Of COURSE we can have dead animals, we’ll just pop round to the taxidermist and he’ll sort it out while we have lunch at Claridges” and then Victor says, “REAAAAALY now, don’t you think you’ve taken this a bit FAR now, it’s all getting rawther ridiculous, I mean to say!” and YOU say, “Darling, there’s no need to get in a row about it, now would you PLEASE pull the car out of the GAR-age” (because they pronounce it GAR-idge which sounds wrong and cool at the same time) “and PLEASE get some petrol because it’s a bit of a way away” and then Victor says, “I’m not getting involved with this nonsense and frankly I think you’re being a bloody bitch, THAT’S what,” and then YOU say, “Fine, if that’s how you’re going to carry on, I’ll just ask Clive for a lift,” and then Victor says, “CLIVE? Who the BLOODY HELL is CLIVE? Have you been having it ON with someone?” and then you say, “Spot on, THAT’S what, and you know WHAT? You’ve really become a complete wanker” and then Victor says, “WANKER? What are you now, some 12-year old schoolgirl?” and then YOU say, “All I know is, from now on, you are persona non grata in my knickers, THAT’S what, and I’m OFF.”

If that’s what’s going on I want the British version.

1142 Steph B from PA July 30, 2012 at 2:39 pm: I would love a British version of the book for my friend Sarah’s birthday. We are always talking in silly accents and playing songs from musicals way too loud at random times of the night. I highly recommend going to see a kid’s movie at the last possible showing during the beginning of the week. We did and it was completely empty except for us, so we pointed, laughed, cried and made complete fools of ourselves. She is the person I can see being my “Laura” and she already tells me I’m so much like you. We love you and to us, you are our brand of sanity.
1143 Laurie Lopez July 30, 2012 at 2:40 pm: Your wit and wisdom are inspiring. Thank you for sharing. I laugh with you, and remain anxious to read your book.

Not sure I can make it to Denver to see you, (life gets in the way of so many things). So I would love a signed copy of any ilk. I’m on my third or fourth time through the book. It’s hilarious the first time, but even funnier the fourth time as I read it aloud to unsuspecting friends. They havent invented the word yet for how awesome you are:)
1159 Trip July 30, 2012 at 2:50 pm: Those who know me well know I don’t read, nor even know how. The fact that I’m typing this comment at all is a feat — I only hope these are all actual words, and that they are all warmly caressed by proper punctuation. Still, having heard the buzz about your book, I recently picked it up and began absorbing the text on the page. Copious amounts of chortles followed. Brava, lady… brava.
1160 Lora Huhn July 30, 2012 at 2:51 pm: Can’t wait to see you next Friday! I talked my MIL into buying your book and she can’t put it down
1161 Dawn July 30, 2012 at 2:51 pm: Your book is helping me get through 2 online chemisty classes (Organic and Biochemistry)….do you know how fucking hard it is to essentially teach yourself chemistry?!!!

Your book helps to alleviate the pain. I now need one for my sister as she plans to take a Calculus class online and will desperately need a break and also proof that our childhood really wasn’t all that fucked up after all.
1162 Leann July 30, 2012 at 2:52 pm: I bought 2 copies and have given both away. One to a 21 year old woman going through a tough time and a lot of rotten things happening to her. Your book helped her find the laughter. THANK YOU!

And by real, I don’t mean that your book isn’t real, although it isn’t always true like the real, I mean, OTHER bible is. I mean, seriously, which is really going to happen — red seas being parted or dead squirrel puppets? Nice, but you haven’t fooled me! I do like that squirrel idea as a way to annoy my husband, though. And by annoy, I mean scare the crap out of him and possibly end my marriage. And by end, I mean divorce. Thanks!

1185 Dee McGraw July 30, 2012 at 3:17 pm: I desperately need the audio version of the book. I read aloud to my cousins as we traveled across Tennessee, and I kept breaking down laughing and couldn’t finish a sentence. I had to start over about a dozen times to get through the paragraph about Jenny’s getting her hand stuck in a cow’s vagina. I cried all over the book, snorted, and hiccuped. None of this would happen with the audio version safely in the CD player.

1232 knewlove July 30, 2012 at 3:59 pm: My boyfriend bought me your book (after strong subliminal suggestions on my part) and he came to see you in Chicago. He wanted you to ask me to marry him (in writing) but was told he could only ask for your signature with my name. So now he’s stumped and has to find a different way to propose.

If I randomly win this signed book, my best friend from college will be the recipient. She’s our kind of people and I’m convinced she desperately needs to read about your life so she can feel somewhat normal.

PS – Beyoncé’s cousin lives in Door County, WI. I bumped into him randomly last weekend in Egg Harbor at the Chocolate Chicken. When I went on and on about it into my phone to someone, one of the 15 year old girls working at the bakery overheard me and came over to me after I hung up. “Are you serious? Beyoncé’s cousin is here???” Lord.

1237 Lim July 30, 2012 at 4:02 pm: No one visits Vermont for book signings. Unless they’re local. In which case you can go knock on their door and say, “Hey, if you sign this I won’t leave zucchini in your car. Well, I’ll still leave zucchini in your car, but not as much. Okay, I’ll still be leaving a shit-ton of zucchini in your car, but if you sign this I’ll put it in a bag.”

I may have had zucchini show up in my car on multiple occasions in various locations. I have never been able to identify who the hell thinks I need that much zucchini; but this summer my windows have stayed up and my doors locked and my seat zucchini free.
1238 Shelley July 30, 2012 at 4:02 pm: I found your blog through another site, once I read your Blog, I had to read the book. I’ve been raving about you ever since. You actually helped me through a rough time with my Depression and I want to thank you for that. It really helps to know that there are other peopple out there going through the same things as me and having the same thoughts. So Thank You from the bottom of my butt, because it’s bigger than my heart.
1239 Robyn Webb July 30, 2012 at 4:03 pm: Both your blog and your book have helped me so much in my journey through recovery for my depression and mental illness. You are such a wonderful role model and I’m so happy you are finally coming to Denver!!! :]
1240 Jo Robards July 30, 2012 at 4:04 pm: I won’t be able to go see you in Mpls so this would make my entire month!!!
1241 Angie July 30, 2012 at 4:05 pm: I’d love to win a copy. .. but even if not the book was awesome & my neighbors must have thought I was a lunatic as I sat outside laughing ridiculously loud through most of it Thanks for the laughs!
1242 Lynn July 30, 2012 at 4:06 pm: Your book is so awesome – I tell everyone to pick up a copy of it. Thanks for sharing your life, your story, and for making us laugh. Cheers!

I went to viist my BFF and my cousin within the same week and they both had copies of your book. They are smart ladies. I logged on to your site at home and fell in love. Please make me a smart lady and send me a copy of my very own.

PS> I’ll look for small unique taxidermy animals for you!
1246 Marie July 30, 2012 at 4:11 pm: If I win, I’m totally buying the book for a friend so that I can read it to her while she’s in labor. I figure, laughter will make it hurt slightly less.

I’d rather have my Roxie over your signed book – no offense – any day.) I love your blog and your book is amazing.
1248 Amanda July 30, 2012 at 4:12 pm: I know that Toronto thinks it’s the centere of the universe, or at least Canada, but trust me when I say there is so much more to see of our country Like where I live, Ottawa. And Montreal. Actually go to Montreal. It’s a way cooler city. Don’t worry I’ll drive the two hours to see you. That’s how much I love your book. Okay, I love it more than that but not so much that driving to Toronto is a good idea. That would be a little stalkerish. Unless you need a stalker…Let me know.

1256 Megan July 30, 2012 at 4:22 pm: I bought your book the day it came out, tore through it, immediately passed it on to a friend who I said MUST read it, and then I assume she passed it on a la traveling red dress. A lovely thought, in theory, but I need another copy to keep this time. Thanks.
1257 dancer July 30, 2012 at 4:22 pm: i learned about your book during a book discussion on Bye Bye, Pie by June Gardens. After reading the excerpt on Amazon I immediately downloaded a copy to my kindle app, told all my friend and blogged about it as well. Laughing so hard I was choking. Will send you the hospital bill.
1258 jess July 30, 2012 at 4:24 pm: an audio version? so i can listen to you in the car and drowned out the sound of my own ridiculous laughter (and, let’s be honest, THE VOICES)? that would be lovely. we all thinks so……. o.O

I haven’t finished it yet, because I read a chapter every time life gets too hard to handle on my own, and I thank you for being there for me. All of your tours have been incredibly far away from where I live, and I don’t have a reliable transportation method. I would love a signature from you.
1274 Jenn Oneil July 30, 2012 at 4:41 pm: When I was reading your book, I would be almost in tears one chapter and then laughing like a crazy women the next (fun fact: the more you try to stifle your giggles while reading in bed, the more you shake , and the more your husband wakes up and looks at you like you’re nuts.) So thanks for that.

But if I win it, that would be sweet and when I can, I’ll buy a copy to give to someone else. I really wish I could see you in Toronto! Sigh :S
1283 Casi July 30, 2012 at 4:55 pm: Jenny–

I’m halfway through your book and literally keep my boyfriend awake at night laughing out loud at it. There is a slight (and when I say slight I mean my boyfriend can’t make up his damn mind) chance that we’ll be in Denver when you are. I will fight, scream, and scratch my way to your signing if we are (don’t be scared, I’m really quite gentle). Anyway, this is a lot of rambling to tell you that I LOVE reading your blog and have even started my own. http://www.whatsagrownup.blogspot.com
Keep making the world a better place one laugh at a time.
1284 Jayde July 30, 2012 at 4:56 pm: Jenny, you know you totally deserve this right? You deserve the fame, the mini fortune, the honor, and the recognition. You have brought awareness for both depression and self-harm, you have brought laughter to millions, and for those fellow depression sufferers you have brought hope.

I don’t need a signed copy of your book, I have it already in my Kindle, but you should be so proud of yourself. I know I am proud of you!
1285 Michelle July 30, 2012 at 4:57 pm: Pick me! Pick me!
1286 Erica July 30, 2012 at 4:58 pm: It’s bananas that you’re thanking us, when you have given us so much. I would love the British copy, since my American one is journeying from friend to friend across the country right now as we all tell each other, “Seriously, you have to read this book.”
Erm, on that note, sorry about the nick in your sales due to my self-starter library activities?? Oops.
1287 Meghan July 30, 2012 at 4:58 pm: I really, really, really, really want a copy of your book! A signed copy would be just awesome!
1288 Jen July 30, 2012 at 5:00 pm: Ooooh! This summer’s blog posts have proven to be great reading, but I’d love the chance to curl up with a non-electronic version for a couple hours. Wish we could swing a visit to one of your tour stops!
1289 Jen Gruber July 30, 2012 at 5:01 pm: Although I can’t say I’m jealous of all the traveling you are doing… (I am terrified of most of the people in airports) I can say i’m jealous that you get to go to bed knowing that you make thousands of people laugh every day. The fact that my husband and I both can agree that your blog is fantastic says it all for me because we have totally different types of funny so when he calls me saying “Jen you HAVE GOT to go see what she is doing to poor victor” I rush as fast as I can and then I argue why your point of view makes so much sense.

So you got one of us in each of your corners and I wish you the best on this last leg of your tour!
1290 Nikki July 30, 2012 at 5:02 pm: I can’t wait to read your book. I stumbled upon your blog months ago and I haven’t been able to get enough since. One moment you’re making me snort with laughter (snot bubbles included!) and the next moment you’re reminding me that I’m not alone with my depression and bringing tears to my eyes with how perfectly you express it in words that I have struggled to find my entire life. I would love to get an autographed copy!
1291 LisaPinWA July 30, 2012 at 5:02 pm: I recently read your book while recovering from a double mastectomy. Thank you so much for giving me so much laughter in an otherwise shitty time. And for helping me feel free to type “shitty”.
1292 Jen July 30, 2012 at 5:02 pm: Your success seems well-deserved, since every time I read your blog I laugh out loud.
1293 Kendra July 30, 2012 at 5:03 pm: Loved the book! And would love an autographed copy!!
1294 acrannymint July 30, 2012 at 5:03 pm: Loved your book like everyone else who has commented. Being bi-polar, it definitely resonated. Your family is much cooler than mine, however. On a side note – I got the Traveling Pink Dress today.

I would have come to the ones that were closer to me, but my mom could’t take me. I love your blog and tweets and I can relate to so many of them. (I’m sorry if there are any misspellings. I can barley spell my name right most of the time)
1310 Katie July 30, 2012 at 5:18 pm: So, I was introduced to your blog last week. We were wasting time at our Junior League volunteer shift and read the initial Beyonce blog. Because that’s what we do in the JL. Classy. Since then I’ve been hooked. I have read and laughed and cried and then the amazing happened. I learned something. I had blown a fuse in my kitchen, but rather than risking shutting down the electricity in my 30-floor apartment building, I decided to relocate my microwave to my bedroom and move on with my life. Then I read the post about your snocone machine and how Victor fixed the same problem, and VOILA! I can now use my kitchen again! Who says you can’t trust everything you read on the internets?
1311 temeneos July 30, 2012 at 5:22 pm: I have a well loved copy of your book; i don’t want anything as a giveaway since i was able to to afford a copy of my own.

However!

If you pick me I would love donate an audio copy to our hip little library in town in both our names sos I could pretend to know you.

I laughed so much my mother in law started reading over my shoulder. Now I’m buying a copy to send to my sister, who could use some laughs.
1318 Andy July 30, 2012 at 5:28 pm: Excellent! Even a 1 in 1305 ( and counting ) chance has got to be worth a shot. Maybe if fate ( or at least Jenny) smiles upon me, I can get a British copy for my wife, after trying to Pre-order the book for her birthday!

1326 Kate July 30, 2012 at 5:35 pm: So, I finally got a copy of the book here in little old New Zealand. I’m a librarian so I did the librarian thing of ordering it through our library and luckily bieng one of the first on the waiting list for it. I was reading it in our kitchen cupboard (no really, its like the size of a toilet cubicle, open at the top and everything,health and safety WIN!) and I was giggling so much (it was the racoon with jams, it killed me) that patron’s kept coming up and asking why there was some batty librarian out the back making a racket and i had to come out and show everyone. Turns out half the people wanted to read it and half of those people couldnt be bothered waiting for a copy through the library so jsut went and got one at the local bookseller. THIS IS WHY LIBRARIES ARE GOOD FOR AUTHORS.

The end.

Thanks for an awesome lunch hour read, you have made my week.
