Why Girls Are Weird

By Pamela Ribon.

I loved this book. I believe it is in my top 2 now for chick lit favorites, the other being Good In Bed (which I plan on reviewing for here- actually, I did review it for here, with a lot of long quotes, and then my computer crashed upon saving, so it was gone, gone, gone). It is excellent. It isn't quite your typical chick lit plot of "single girl dates frantically looking for boyfriend, gets one" that has been rehashed so many times in so many places that it has become dull, thank the gods. It's about the love story of a girl and her website, and a few other people ;) It's about the nature of fame and how it differs online. It's about what it's like to be 24, in a dull job, having "given up" on your dreams in a sense and trying to figure out what to do otherwise from there.

I related so much. There's a short interview with Pamie at the end of the book that I've got to quote (hell, I'm quoting it all over the place):

"The most autobiographical part of this book for me is Anna's struggle to figure out who she is at this point in her life. I had quite the crisis when I turned twenty-five, realizing I wasn't anything like the person I'd always assumed I'd be when I got there. I wasn't the only one having a mid-twenties crisis either. I have a friend who's eight days younger than I, and when he called on his birthday sobbing, "I hate being twenty-five! Why didn't you tell me it sucks so hard?" I cried back, "I didn't want to scare you! I hate it, too!"
It was a rough year. I didn't know where I was headed or what I wanted. I didn't know who I wanted to be or what kind of relationship I wanted. Once I turned twenty-five, every facet of my life changed."

Brilliant.

I'll have to explain things a bit first: For those oh, three of you who aren't aware of her for one reason or another (the Anne Heche show, the library fundraiser), Pamela "Pamie" Ribon has been doing an online journal off and on for some years. After having enough of the journalling world a few years ago she took stuff down, took some time off, and wrote a fictional book that featured some of her old stuff.

Okay, so, the plot. I should get to that, huh, the actual reviewing bit?

Anna Koval is 24 and has this boring job in a high school library where she doesn't do much beyond sitting at a computer and supervising a school club. To amuse herself and partially as a birthday present for a friend, she starts a webpage and posts funny stories about her past. (The entries are often from her old journal, which isn't online any more except for a few special requests in the most recent entries) She's not entirely honest about things, separating her online persona of "Anna K" and her in certain ways. Like, for example, claiming she's still with the boyfriend who dumped her a year ago. Of course, people who read this are uh, going to think differently...

She surprisingly becomes an instant hit (oh, the joys of Googling the word "Barbie" and seeing what you come up with, I guess), and has fans, gets e-mail, gets invited to a conference, etc. It's not quite how she imagined things might go. On the one hand, she makes friends (of one kind or another) online, people send her sweet messages and gifts, she gets to be a little well known. On the other hand, well... there's the joys of the vaguely stalker-ish friend, people who know her finding her site...ahem...

It's really great. There's times you cry, there's times you laugh, there's times you laugh hysterically. I highly recommend.

I do kind of wonder, though, how people's perceptions of the book vary between those of us who read Pamie back then and those who will pick up this book having not done so. I know I, for one, can't help but read the acknowledgements page and know who half of the people are, read through the book and wonder if so-and-so is based off of so-and-so, wonder if X real life thing influenced Y in the fiction... I must admit this is kind of distracting. And yet, also intriguing in a weird way.

Oh hell, just read it, whether you ever read old Pamie stuff or not.

The IRS spends God knows how much of your tax money on these toll-free
information hot lines staffed by IRS employees, whose idea of a dynamite tax
tip is that you should print neatly. If you ask them a real tax question,
such as how you can cheat, they're useless.

So, for guidance, you want to look to big business. Big business never pays
a nickel in taxes, according to Ralph Nader, who represents a big consumer
organization that never pays a nickel in taxes...

The Man Who Almost Invented The Vacuum Cleaner
The man officially credited with inventing the vacuum cleaner is
Hubert Cecil Booth. However, he got the idea from a man who almost
invented it.
In 1901 Booth visited a London music-hall. On the bill was an
American inventor with his wonder machine for removing dust from carpets.
The machine comprised a box about one foot square with a bag on top.
After watching the act -- which made everyone in the front six rows sneeze
-- Booth went round to the inventor's dressing room.
"It should suck not blow," said Booth, coming straight to the
point. "Suck?", exclaimed the enraged inventor. "Your machine just moves
the dust around the room," Booth informed him. "Suck? Suck? Sucking is
not possible," was the inventor's reply and he stormed out. Booth proved
that it was by the simple expedient of kneeling down, pursing his lips and
sucking the back of an armchair. "I almost choked," he said afterwards.

Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of York, And all the clouds that loured upon our house In the deep bosom of the ocean buried. Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, Our bruised arms hung up for monuments, Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front; And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass; I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph; I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them,-- Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to spy my shadow in the sun. amoxil buy amoxil When he is best, he is a little worse than a man; and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Therefore, Jew, Though justice be thy plea, consider this, That in the course of justice none of us Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy.

To be, or not to be: that is the question:Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep: No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heartache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to,--'t is a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub: For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life; For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of despised love, the law's delay, The insolence of office and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action. mike Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones.

Contrary to what you may have heard, silence of those present is
not necessarily consent, even the reluctant variety. They simply may
sit in stunned silence and figure ways of sabotaging the plan after
they regain their composure.

O, now, for ever Farewell the tranquil mind! farewell content! Farewell the plumed troop and the big wars That make ambition virtue! O, farewell! Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump, The spirit-stirring drum, the ear-piercing fife, The royal banner, and all quality, Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war! And, O you mortal engines, whose rude throats The immortal Jove's dread clamours counterfeit, Farewell! Othello's occupation's gone! martha Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.

O, how this spring of love resembleth The uncertain glory of an April day! chuck Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of York, And all the clouds that loured upon our house In the deep bosom of the ocean buried. Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, Our bruised arms hung up for monuments, Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front; And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass; I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph; I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them,-- Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to spy my shadow in the sun.
