crikey this thing is a brick

I seriously didn't know how Allie Brosh would one-up her last book. She managed to already do so in chapter 2.

Fuck.

I love her so much

Cute

“...I don’t think I’d reached that crucial developmental point where you’re capable of recognizing how creepy you’re being.”

So far so good. I’m very worried about this neighbor kid - does she have 6 lamps in her room? Also how did they Richard handle the news of “our three year old has been breaking into your house and stealing things ?”

soo eager to read this... finally I lay hands on it and it doesn't disappoint :)

Heartbreaking chapter on losing her sister to suicide.

Just read the chapter "Loving Kindness" and can not stop laughing!

If you... think a bunch of unnecessarily aggressive shit you’d never dream of saying to a real person—for example: “I hate you, I hate you; you floor-face, mouth-face, crybaddy feelbad little crumb of bread,” and: “WHY ALL THE TIME DO YOU SEEM LIKE A DUMPTRANG>:[???”—do not become discouraged... Take a step back, remind yourself that nobody is a dumptrang, and keep trying.

Somebody who understands exactly how weird you are, and you understand exactly how weird they are, and you’re in a sort of mutually beneficial hostage situation.

Friendship

^_^

Hello again, children. Once upon a time, there was an ugly frog. And the world isn’t fair, so it didn’t grow up to be pretty or successful—it just stayed how it was. Then one foggy Christmas Eve, the frog realized that everything is equally ridiculous. And it went sledding because why not.

I woke my husband (in the other room) because I was laughing so hard at Chapter 2. I need to go slowly or I may pull a stomach muscle.

I do not know what I am doing at all, but I’m trying REALLY hard. And trying really hard when you don’t know what you’re doing just happens to be the exact recipe for acting like a fuckin’ weirdo.

Wtf?????

This book is really heavy so I have to keep stopping

Typo. Missing a space between sentences (...extreme plan.As extreme...)

I have to take a break I’m fucking crying-laughing. Pile dog broke me.

Death can take away your friends and pets but it can’t take away the weird shit they did.

Utterly confused not amused. Wtf????

"the world is full of MORONS, nobody knows what the fuck they're doing, and there is no Gog!" is the eternal mood

Sometimes all you can really do is keep moving and hope you end up somewhere that makes sense.

Returned. Not in mood to finish at moment. Will def revisit it later, as I did like her first one

Chapter 2 and already I’ve nearly laughed myself to death. 😂😂😂

Pile dog stories. :((

Saying no to a socially considerate adult is hard enough. If saying no to a socially considerate adult is like fighting a serpent, this would be like fighting a serpent, but you can’t use your arms or legs, and you can’t touch the serpent or hurt the serpent’s feelings. Also, the serpent doesn’t understand the words “no” or “sorry.”

I mean, she does warn you when the "serious part" is coming, but holy cow. I'm not sure you can be prepared.

I laughed way too hard at that but how many times did you have to choose between "What a beautiful baby!" or "What a ... lovely child!". Sometimes a "You can already see they have a personality!", slips out.

We all know what you mean. The baby is an ugly potato. Except the parents. They never notice. They created the potato, how could it be ugly?

Once upon a time I was watching the Incredibles with my friends. We were 15/16? Then I asked the question that resulted in a silence that you could feel, even if we already were silent: "Why is her hair blue?"

The obvious answer would be dye. Nope upon this day, that will not do. It has to do with genetics and/or powers. Which I explained to my friends many times. After the silence a: "Still?!", will follow.
