Jennifer Weiner

I really think that Jennifer Weiner might be the coolest person on the planet. She is so funny and self-confident. I really admire her for just being who she is and not apologizing for it. That's just awesome.

During the booksigning tonight, she said some of the funniest things. I'm going to paraphrase a few of my favorite quotes. As you can tell from these quotes, she's truly a typical woman. Listening to her was like chatting with my girlfriends.

1. JDate is the place for the unchosen chosen people.

2. I decided that the fate of the entire publishing industry is on the shoulders of Dan Brown.

3. In these troubling economic times, people want porn, romance, and happy endings.

4. I told my publisher that my new book cover looks like a douche ad.

5. My best friend Susan dated a guy named Ian from Montreal. It was a bad break-up. She now hates not only Ian but the city of Montreal and the entire country of Canada.

6. Google was invented so that I could check up on my ex-boyfriends.

7. While buying a gift from a wedding registry, I immediately searched the registry for all of my ex-boyfriends and one popped up. I called my friend and said "he's getting married. How can this be?" And she said "Jenn, he's registered for an acrylic chip and dip dish. You could be eating guacamole off of acrylic. You made a lucky escape."
