In Which I Humiliate Myself Because I ♥ Beth Revis

First, have you noticed how long my blog titles are lately. What's with that?


Second, there's this:


Which led to... Third, THIS:


I only have one question: How come *I* have to be on the still-shot of that??

    That was great - you guys are too funny. :)

    I'm actually smack in the middle of Beth's book now and I. Am. Loving. It.

    I'm tucked up in bed with chicken soup and a thousand kleenex, grinning my head off. This is exactly how we should celebrate for each other! Love, love, love this--it's the total embodiment of writers cheering for each other instead of competing :)

    I always go to LiLa's first thing when I get to work, because their post is always up, right at 6, but maybe I should come here first. Not that it matters.

    Anyway, point is I already saw this over there, so I'm going to leave the same comment here:

    Was that supposed to make me cry a little? Because it didn't. Not one bit.

    What's with all the batman and darth vader costumes? I mean besides them being awesome, of course.

    ...

    What an incredible group of people you all are. I'm quite proud to know each one of you.

    And CONGRATULATIONS Beth! You rule.

    I saw you comment about that on the email thread, and I was like, what's she talking about? She wasn't still. She was shaking her tushie and looking too adorable for words. And then I went to the video! Haha! LOVE that you were the one on the still shot. It's total perfection.

    Had so much fun with this! Beth is a perfect reason to happy dance.
