Nominate me!

Hello chickadeesI'm back from the Lake District, where I spent a lot of time being harassed by swans, geese, ducks and moorhens, which was very traumatising for a city girl like me. And I ate too much thunder and lightning ice cream, which is vanilla with chocolate and cinder toffee. Absolutely delicious!I've been told by the Powers That Be to ask you to nominate me to be Queen Of Teen. It's a

Welcome to the Upper East Side, Bitch

A science-based compare and contrast on which show rockeths the most: The OC or Gossip Girl(**WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR UK READERS/VIEWERS**)Marissa Cooper vs. Serena Van Der WoodsenBoth blonde girls with issues, low-rent boyfriends and an extremely low tolerance for alcohol. Serena does deserve some credit for being even more freaking annoying than Marissa, which I didn't even think was

Saying Goodbye!

On April 22nd, 2008, my fiancee and I had to say our goodbyes to the city we came to love so much. The hardest part, was saying goodbye to so many of the wonderful friends we made while living there. So this is for all of you who came to our going away party. I can only express myself by quoting the Muppets....

Saying goodbye, going away
Seems like goodbye's such a hard thing to say
Touching a hand, wondering why
It's time for saying goodbye

Saying goodbye, why is it sad?
Makes us remember the good times we've had
Much more to say, foolish to try
It's time for saying goodbye

Don't want to leave, but we both know
Sometimes it's better to go
Somehow I know we'll meet again
Not sure quite where, and I don't know just when
You're in my heart, so until then
Wanna smile, wanna cry
Saying goodbye

La la la la la la la la
It's time for saying goodbye

Goodbye New York, goodbye Brooklyn Inn, and goodbye to all of our lovely friends...we love you so very much and will miss you dearly! We'll be seeing you somewhere in the world again. Hopefully, very soon!

Much Love...XOXO

PS-Hopefully, none of you are too upset that I posted your pics! :O)

Moving To The Land of Meat

The move is done, and we've made it...back in the dirty south. My husband to be and I have been here for two weeks now, and I have to say, I don't miss NYC too much. There are things I miss about it, but that will have to be another blog entry!

As most of you know, I am now a vegetarian. Not for any political reasons, but for dietary reasons. I especially stay away from pork and red meat. But since I have moved, I have found the temptation of meat too great. There was especially one occasion in which my boyfriend and I attended a BBQ cookoff. Why in the world did I think I would possibly have the strength to fend off those deliciously evil pork ribs and brisket? I mean come on, wouldn't you cave too?!?






And just for some ridiculous fun....

Accept no substitutes

So, with the recent UK release of Candy, I have no new teen books coming out for a while, as I work on my first grown-up book Unsticky. And it's grown-up in that I'd be kinda horrified if anyone under 16 read it, though I guess the content is no more racy than you might find in an episode of, like, Sex And The City. And I guess you all watch that...Anyways, there will be new teen-friendly fare
