“My idea of a fun night was diving into a massive pile of To Be Read pile of books stacked near my dresser...I was the girl who loved everything geeky.”
Jeff Sampson, Vesper

“I guess I had always sort of fantasized that a guy would see me and get past the ponytail and the glasses and the giant sweatshirt to discover how insanely awesome I am, then come and whisk me off into that magical teenager fairytale where everyone else gets to prance around.”
Jeff Sampson, Vesper

“Lesson for the day, kids: hangovers are real, and they are the opposite of fun.”
Jeff Sampson, Vesper
