seriously i'm kidding: how calling people is like batman

The last little excerpt from Ellen Degeneres' book was all about Twitter vs the crazy people of the 90s... well today's bit is the next thing she had to say. This time, calling someone is just like the Bat-signal in the sky.


I really enjoy calling people, but I rarely do anymore. And my "recent" call log mostly looks like that of a lame loser. BUT... if there's anyone who knows how true her writing is, it's me. No matter what I call my mom about, even if I tell her good news, she'll always ask me what's wrong at least five times.

Mom, I swear, nothing's wrong. For the crazillionth time.

love,

what ellen says about social media in the 90s

Time for another excerpt from Ellen's "Seriously... I'm Kidding!" I hope you're enjoying these as much as I am. A couple people have asked what book I'm reading cuz it looks really good. Um... it's "SERIOUSLY... I'M KIDDING." Wait. Maybe I should underline it so it's officially a book title. I'm reading Seriously... I'm Kidding, by Ellen Degeneres. Is that more clear? :)

Anyway! It's obvious this was an immediate "MUST SHARE" selection, considering she talks about two of my favorite things: The 90s and social media.


Maybe the reason I like her so much is because the "crazy" things I do/have done seem completely normal and acceptable when she talks about it. Or just because she's so damn GOOD at pointing things out.

And yeah, I do kinda want some tequila right now. Just because Ellen told me I do.

love,

from "seriously... i'm kidding": what ellen says about stereotypes and musicals

The latest excerpt from Ellen's "Seriously... I'm Kidding" book is one of my top 3 from the book. It totally made me LOL just thinking about what she says actually happening.

Everything captured is worth reading, but the best is highlighted.


I just love that she's able to be so sarcastic but so sincere about real issues. She's making the world laugh while still talking about the serious stuff every day. [Maybe stereotypes aren't super serious, but she covers a lot of stuff throughout the book.] I envy her for that.

love,
