Nonetheless, Lauren reveals on her massively entertaining blog that she sometimes feels like people like her story less than the others. (Most of the reviews I've read, meanwhile, feel to me as if they like my story less than the others. I theorize that this is due to the fact that a dollop of criticism damages self-esteem more than a dollop of praise improves it.)
But anyway, in her post, Lauren includes portraits of Maureen and me. Maureen's is a real picture of her, although she is smoking a cartoon cigar. And my picture? Gangsta Jesus:
I can haz dis az mah new awthor foto?
lol! You're definitely Gangsta Jesus. He even has the dirty beard going on like you do on the Let it Snow author picture! =P
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting compared to Shakespeare. That's freaking amazing, I'm jealous!
I just got around to getting LiS... don''t worry. Yours is good. =D
Poott: The noise made to express joy when pooping in Hank's pants.
Lol! That picture is great! Now I need to go read her blog :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Can we see a Blingee of Willy? Please????
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. xD
ReplyDeleteEpic win.
How do you write a novel in which there's more authors? (eg Let It Snow)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of this post is your lolcatspeak at the end. xD
ReplyDeleteThe freaky part, is that I can almost see you in gangsta Jesus. MY brain is trying to mash the two images into one. It's as if he is almost you, or playing you in the TV movie Best Wishes: The John Green Story. Like how I think Noah Wily and Steve Jobs are the same person sometimes.
ReplyDeleteIf she would have photoshopped in your real face that would have been TRULY awesome.
ReplyDeleteI just posted a link on your facebook page. And okay, that's a serious compliment. Well done Washington Post, I don't know anything about you, but the people writing book reviews are brilliant.
ReplyDeleteGangsta J pretty much sums you up. Although I doubt your bling is QUITE that cool. No offence.

Okay, John is officially more emotionally mature than I am. Not that it was ever a question. But John: I will learn from you! I will remember the "like the bard" comments instead of "sucktastic" remarks!!!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Posted authentic pic of you in latest blog entry to make up for prior...um...creative interpretation.
Oh. That comment above was me. Lauren. I can never remember my google/blogger password--or username, for that matter. ;)
ReplyDeletehahaha That is wonderful. Would've fooled me if you hadn't made this post!
ReplyDelete-Julian, ItTakesII
I think you all did a great job in let it snow
ReplyDeleteI have learned two important things from this post. Lauren Myracle has an excellent lj. And I find Jesus kind of attractive.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear. I feel like I have to shower now.
Hahaha that is perfect!
ReplyDeleteHow DO you go about collaboratively authoring a novel? It seems like it'd be really complicated to get everything to flow smoothly and to not have any continuity errors.
Not to take this post seriously - but - the ratio is *roughly* 7:1. Psych being a study more than a science we'll just say that generally it takes 7 compliments or positive statements to restore what 1 negative or critical comment takes away. This is especially important for teachers, parents and critics to remember.
ReplyDeleteAs much as it pains me to say it John, you kind of look like Jesus in this picture. A lot.Minus the bling. Plus glasses.
ReplyDelete"I can haz dis az mah new awthor foto?"
ReplyDeleteHahaha, hilarious. XD
You may have the look, but you may want to brush up on your speaking style. :)
Anyway, congratulations! You're amazing. :D

ReplyDeleteGangsta Jesus beats Edward Jesus out of the ball-park by, like, a mile.
