Last night I was so lucky to be invited on Geek & Sundry‘s Story Board hangout (hosted by the amazing Patrick Rothfuss) with John Scalzi and Wil Wheaton to talk about writing. I was terrified because I was the misfit girl in a sea of icons, but it was actually great fun. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to see how we all act in real life when we forget the cameras are on and tell our deepest secrets then you should watch it. Or put on headphones and listen to it while you do your work. Because there is a lot of cursing. And cats. And taxidermy. I’m going to stop writing now.
Also, I apologize for this not being a “real” post, but I’m very busy today getting ready for a Civil War reenactment. I’m going as time-traveler and Hailey is a Pilgrim who I picked up along the way. Victor is going as “that guy in jeans refusing to participate” because he thinks dressing up for the wrong time period to confuse people reenacting another time period is weird. Victor is very judgmental.
(You may need to rewind it if it doesn’t start from the beginning.)
PS. I just found out that Let’s Pretend This Never Happened won the People’s Choice award for Best Humor Book at Good Reads and I quite literally screamed. Thank you again for all of your support! Seriously. None of this would be possible without you and I’m mentally licking each of you on the face right now.
PPS. Patrick Rothfuss’ World Builders Charity Drive is bad-ass and you want to be involved. This is not hypnotism. It’s real. And it’s awesome.

I watched it last night, totally worth the wait. So fun watching you all interact. Though you’re very different writers, you have lots in common too (ie: hilarious and talented) so I really enjoyed. Especially since I could LITERALLY see a book by every one of you on my shelf while I watched. So cool. Oh! And that was my question Pat asked you, about managing your fanbase and whether you missed the more personal interactions of a smaller fanbase. SOOOO excited when I heard him read it. So glad you got to be a part of it, it means so much to fans like me to get encouragement and wisdom from heroes.

I haven’t known you for that long, but yes, I vote that you are an icon.
When I saw Scalzi tweet about this, my first thought was, “I wonder if Jenny can get him to take a picture with twine.” And then I was ashamed of myself. But only a little.
Ellie Di recently posted..The Cult of Positive Thinking

NATurally Inappropriate recently posted..WTF is wrong with people?
Oh Civil War Reenactments. Reminds me of my youth. Because my dad is a huge history buff and often dragged me to those things as a child not because I am a real time traveler and actually grew up in Civil War times.
I actually now know so much about the Civil War that I do a pretty fair one-woman-show-reenactment sometimes after a glass or two of whiskey. I am excellent at the fake bugle.

That was the best 90 minutes of my week. So awesome. Also I got linked to it through Jen Yates (ala CakeWrecks) twitter post and spent the first 45 minutes thinking John was her husband who sometimes blogs for her. So confused.
Victor could be a guy who is in 2012 and doesn’t believe in time travel so you picked him up on the way too, hence why he’s only dressed in jeans and tshirt!

Uh oh Jenny – don’t tell Victor but …. and I quote ”
Fabrics such as the cotton/wool blend linsey woolsey, cotton jean cloth and homespun were popular during the Civil War, often because of economy and availability. Jean cloth, which is essentially denim, was worn by both women and men because of its price and functionality. Jean cloth was widely-used for military uniforms as well, when original-issue wool uniforms wore out, or became too uncomfortable in the heat.

Too many comment to read through, but if it has not already been mentioned you must do this either as Dr. Who, or the cast from Bill & Ted’s excellent adventure.
I, too, do not trust Civil War reenactments. Do people dress according to the time period all the way down to underwear? That’s weird. And even more weird that I’ve spent 15 minutes thinking about it.
High-five and fist bumps (or whatever the young kids do these days) on the award. The only award I got this week was who ate the most dinner rolls in one sitting. Ugh.
Rhana @ Dumb {Squared} recently posted..Wednesdays suck.
I love Scalzi! And of course, you and Wil ‘The Collator’ Wheaton, too. I’m having a three favorite people squee moment. Congrats.
Does Victor know that wearing jeans at a Civil War reenactment is dressing up in the clothes from the wrong time period?! Of course, he is going to claim that it is somehow not meant to confuse the Civil War people, but seriously, if the people from the Civil War actually saw someone in modern clothes at one of their battles (if they are playing their part right), they would be confused.
Morgan Eckstein recently posted..Tentacle Sex Fiends

I frackin’ love you… I’ve watched you go from talking ABOUT Wil Wheaton to talking TO Wil Wheaton. Full of win. An amazing life you lead. Keep those awesome moments coming!
I really enjoyed this video – thanks!
Victor is being very unreasonable! It’s not like you can have a Civil War reenactment without a time traveller and a pilgrim … that’d just be silly.

Thanks to twitter I caught this last night just before I was shutting down to go to bed.

Thanks for posting the video so I can finish watching when I get home tonight- don’t dare watch at work as my cube mates will think I’m having some type of episode when I start rolling on the floor laughing like I did last night.
you are awesome. and thank you for sharing your awesomeness. you are like an inspirational flying rainbow unicorn that hands out candy to children (but not in a creepy way) and who hugs the sad and maybe even tosses a fiver at the smelly guy on the corner.
YOU are badass and make me laugh until I cry.

Also — Jen, had a random thought… I wondered what you’re doing with all your cat wigs? We haven’t heard about them in a v long time. Can If you’re not doing anything with them, might I suggest nailing them to a canvas and selling it to an upscale art gallery titled “Wigs That Lived On My Cat”, and then donating proceeds to charity.

I agree – you’ve got as much iconography as any of the guys. Actually, if I had to put you all in order of my favorite icons, you’d be first. Scalzi and Wheaton would have to tussle for second place and I hope someone would make a YouTube video of that.
And now I’m just rambling. Sorry about that.

YAY!!!!!! Loved the book, so glad you won!!!
I just finished listening to the story board. This was incredible. Lots of great information and funny stories. I don’t post on Blogs very often, but wanted to say how much I loved the book, love the Blog, and look forward to more great stories ahead.
The time traveler to the civil war reenactment is hysterical. Victor always pees on the firecracker.
Thanks for the lick, Slick!
I met Patrick Rothfuss at OddCon 2009 when he was guest of honor with Emma Bull. Have you read his books? Even one? What about Emma Bull because “War for the Oaks” is awesome.
Wait, Patrick Rothfuss lives in Wisconsin. I’ve met him. You’ve met him. I’m 2 degrees of The Bloggess!
You should have Victor wear a Historical Preenactment Society t-shirt from the Dresden Codak web comic:

I watched this entire video thinking it would be amusing and delightful. It was. Of course. Except this was also so inspiring and wonderful and exactly what I needed to hear right now. Of course then Wil mentioned cheeto penises and that image was forever scarred onto my brain….

Excellent discussion, and I loved how the sub-title for Will changed occasionally!
Thanks, Jenny! That was very valuable programming, & more fun than TV!
As a writer, I feel nourished. ^g^ <3
I certainly voted for your book on Goodreads. My friend read parts to me until I ripped it out of her hands slow reader. Then I gave it to a friend in the hospital and she won’t give it back although she is out of the hospital. Now I have to buy two more, one for me and one for the first friend. Damn you for so much humor.
Congratulations on the win, you totally deserve it.
Loved the book, loved the podcast, loved the laughter, even loved the tears. Plus, having been at the convention where the official Scalzi measurement was determined, loved the Coke Zero comments. (FYI – a “Scalzi” is a weight equal to 8.5 cases of Coke Zero) So, I guess what I’m trying to say is, thanks for giving me so much to love this evening.
OH my goodness I really hope there are pictures to follow! My husband and I went to a re-enactment and it was awesome in the ” some parts made me want to giggle, some were sad, God get me out of here it’s embarrassing and HEY lets dress up in the photo booth” way plus…there was a wedding.
Nickie recently posted..Santa, and Pinterest Paranoia
Congratulations on the book award. You so deserve it! I was standing in the aisle of a bookstore on Spring Garden Road in Halifax (Nova Scotia) reading it and making a scene snorting and guffawing. Got more than a few sideways glances until my husband came over: “C’mon, let’s go buy it and get outta here. You’re embarrassing me.”
Off subject, but you were definitely in my inbox because goodreads.com said your book was among the top 100 for the year! It was features as the top in the humor category. I know you don’t know me, but I’m proud of your accomplishments.
You are so full of awesome. That was great. And I love that Wheaton gets a little bit fangirl about you hehe.

As someone who often loses all hope that anyone will ever pay attention to my ramblings… I have to say that you are the biggest inspiration to me. Thus, I absolutely think you fit into that “sea of icons,” and in fact, are the boss of that particular topic.

You were on STORYBOARD!!! I watch that all the time because two words Patrick Rothfuss. LOVE HIM. I’m ridicously happy that you were on and all I have to say is now I have a mental image of a Cheeto Penis/Penis Cheeto, not sure which way is grammatically correct so that people realize it’s a penis covered with Cheeto not a Cheeto made to look like a penis, although I’m sure those are available too.
It’s probably wrong that knowing you all have incredible anxiety about things, and just fake your way through them makes me feel better, but I don’t care, because it totally does.
I posted about your book on my Facebook page and ordered everyone to buy it! I loved it!

They also have a ladies t-shirt: http://store.penny-arcade.com/products/internet-dickwad-2-0-ladies-tee
You win. Found this blog yesterday through a really bizarre chain of events. I haven’t slept cause i cant stop reading so the next series of events might not make since.. I read the posts, I laughed, I cried, I know I wet the bed laughing some more and I haven’t felt this good in 20 years. Read about the red dress. Saw this post with my all time favorite author, Patrick Rothfuss. I squealed like a live mouse (not the dead stuffed ones, those go crunch, I digress) I can buy his book, he will sign it and give the money to Worldbuilders…..but that would still be something frivolous, non-sensible and not smart….FUCK THAT! I spent $120 for the book, a necklace and a t-shirt AND I donated to the cause as well (more money than at the store cause I am so excited about how he is running this fundraiser) I DID IT! I. Fucking. Did. It. This mother of 6 is going to take pics wearing my favorite authors SIGNED AND PERSONALIZED book as a skirt and my first new t-shirt in 10 years. Jenny, you gave someone their red dress and didn’t know it, till now. Thank you.
… and I needed a good face lick this morning… Thank you.
Thanks for the lick.
Reality is overrated anyway…
The Hook recently posted..Ten Things I Learned From Crashed Ice.
This video is really awesome, my favourite part is when Wil Wheaton says: -Here’s one guy who’s like: You’re a shitpile and I hate you!
-OMG, He knows!
That is gooooooold. I laughed so hard I cried and it woke up everyone in the house and they weren’t really pleased and didn’t laughed when I showed them, but that is their problem, because they have a shitty sense of humor and couldn’t appreciate Wil Wheaton even if he would come here and do the laundry AND the dishes.
You, Pat, John and Wil were great! I haven’t laughed so hard in a while. It is interesting on how the hang-out itself is actually similar to blogging from the whole putting yourself “out there” perspective. It’s even more brave in that you can’t edit a hang-out or have someone look it over before it goes out on the internet. If you say “something stupid” it’s out there for all time on You Tube. So thanks for putting yourself “out there” in your writing, your blog and google hang outs with a bunch of other silly folk. I was great watching you all feed off each other.
“Art is long, Life is short”?
Congrats on the award. Watched the entire video…very inspiring! You four are awesome.
I’m so glad you are only mentally licking me on the face. Anything else would be weird. Right?

Why can’t anyone caption that shit before putting it online? Wil Wheaton regularly ignores that request too.
Thank you for giving me a mental facelicking. That’s exactly what I wanted for Christmas.
Oh girl, I’ve been sick the past few days and this totally made me feel a BILLION times better. BILLION, I tell you. Seriously, doctors should consider prescribing YouTube channels and blogs to their patients. Thank you!

I finally watched it and I’m happy I did
You’re all great!
I am extremely late in finally watching this even though it’s like something hatched out of my fantasies. My favorite fantasy author, my favorite blogger and my childhood crush (I’ll let you decide who’s who) together, discussing, among other things, children and depression.
With four boys, two with autism, one with bipolar disorder who’s just been released from hospital, it’s hard to find the time to watch things online, even fantasies come true. Thanks for the truly delightful mini break. I threw caution to the wind and watched it on my iPhone while in a bubble bath. I’m pleased to say I didn’t electrocute myself even though I was horribly drunk.
