The Friday wrap-up
How did Josh come to live at
Hum…let me think…if only I knew someone who lived at such a cool address at such a cool time in their lives… Hummm….let me think.
What is Ally short for? :) The obvious Allyson, Alyson, or Allison? The more exotic Alexandra,
Great question. Lame answer: it’s actually not short for anything. I’m just a plain old Ally, I’m afraid.
How does one exactly kill a person with a piece of uncooked spaghetti? Or did you just think of a completely random object and decide that they can kill someone with it?
How and why that sentence came out of my head I will never know. Probably I was just thinking about really random and unlikely things that can be used as weapons. But having a piece of spaghetti shoved way up your nose or in your ear can’t be good for you—right?
If you could pick any actresses in the world to play your main girls (age, availability, cost didn’t matter) who would you pick?
I’ve spent many, many hours mentally debating this, and now the list is mega long. All the time I was writing, though, I pictured Amber Tamblyn as Cammie. Of course she’s probably not excited to keep playing 15-year-old girls, but I love her! I would love for Bex to be played by a British actress, and Rachel…well…I have a list of about 30 talented women for that one.
Do you have a MySpace?
Sure do. Come see me at http://www.myspace.com/allycarter
Oh, and I have to offer the following correction courtesy of my mother:
May I remind you that your writing career actually began at a very early age with an imaginary friend who ate with us regularly, and I had to frequently be reminded he did not like green beans?
So there, I wasn't always a writer, but I was always pushy and vegetable-averse.
In other news, did anyone else watch Brittany Spears with Matt Lauer last night? Does anyone else kinda sorta feel sorry for her now—the media...how she didn't really have a childhood...the fact that she really can't get a sensible stylist...
And I got my copyedits for LEARNING TO PLAY GIN today which means it’s almost over! We’re dotting I’s and crossing T’s, baby!
Finally, my beautiful cousin is getting married tomorrow (best wishes Kylie and Josh) which has its pros and cons. Wedding cake: pro. Having to clean my house before my parents see it when they pick me up: CON!
Have a killer weekend, everybody. I'm off to proofread, brainstorm, and vacuum.

Don't bother to clean. Just meet them at the door and go. What they don't know won't hurt them.
I watched the Britney interview (okay, I watched it twice) and I must admit, I thought she was trashier than ever. Her outfit was absurd, there was something wrong with her eye, either a mascara clump or false eyelashes that needed to be pressed in the corner, and she chewed gum throughout the entire interview.
This is coming from a huge Britney fan. Both my freshman AND sophomore year of college I dressed up as her (the first in her Baby One More Time gear and the second in her MTV Movie Awards Snake outfit).
I miss the days of cute little Brit and Justin in head to toe denim.
On an unrelated note, I picked up your book today and I'm already at chapter five!
The gum chewing was what really got me--I kept thinking about how my mom would absolutely KILL her for that!

Aw, man, I missed it, which is too bad because I'm such a Britney train wreck rubbernecker. I can't help it. It's macabre, I know.
Have we alreayd talked about how I've been picturing AmTam as Amy as well? She's just... so intelligent.
