I've gotta say I'm the world's worst YA author fan girl. They are my heroes and I am so lucky that I've gotten to meet so many of them and stutter uh, uh, uh. John Green is adorable and even cooler in person than on Brotherhood 2.0. Scott Westerfeld really rocks and is super kind to teen readers. Justine Larbalestier who is spouses with Scott is also way cool. I met Maureen Johnson last summer in Atlanta at Dragoncon when she was wearing her Wonder Woman outfit and I so wanted to be her. Neil Gaimen is sooo cute and gracious, too. I haven't met M.T. Anderson but I saw him speak and was way smitten.




I also have a perverse crush on Christopher Hitchens. Yeah, don't ask.

Newengland, Christopher Hitchens can either captivate or enrage you, depending on your political bent. I love his cranky, curmugeonly persona. He takes great pleasure in being the sand in the lubricant of life.



I've tried stalking Gerard Way. And I got to meet him for like 10 seconds at Comic Con.
If I was stalking in a non-crush manner, Meg Cabot. Cause I want to be her.

Mine is M.T. Anderson. And I did stalk him at the ALA YA Author Breakfast in Washington D.C. He was blissfully unaware of my stalking proclivities, however, as I do appear normal most of the time...
