"I'd like to dip YOU in cherry cone coating."
This post is going to be annoying: like 13 year-old-girl-who-has-a-crush-on-someone-she-has-never-met-and-never-will-meet annoying.
It is dedicated to a man named Jonathan Safran Foer.
You may know him as the author of Everything is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.
He is also a hot Jewish man.
If I ever become a writer, a real writer, and not just a lame-o who writes in her journal (not this one, unfortunately) too much, than I want to be just like Jonathan Safran Foer.
I'm serious, if I can even claim to have one iota of the talent he has, the way he can write phrases that perfectly sum up everything I've ever felt as a human being, and switch narrators like it's not even funny, and write in stream of consciousness that turns me into whatever character is speaking, not only for a moment, but for the entirety of the novel... than I will have lived a happy and successful life.
His books make me want to buy an old typewriter and try try try as hard as I can to write something, anything at all.
Jonathan Safran Foer, I know you do not know who I am. But I am in complete and utter awe of you, and I vow to read everything you have ever written at least two times, and also purchase The Anthology of Birds (which I have yet to read, but really want to.)
Sigh.
Oh P.S. I'm in Tacoma.
