A conversation with Jennifer Lynn Barnes
So my good friend (and fellow YA author) Jennifer Lynn Barnes called the other day.
It went something like this.
Me: Hello?
JLB: Hey, it's Jen.
Me: Hey, Jen! How's Yale?
(Have I mentioned lately that Jen is really, really smart?)
JLB: It's good. I was just calling because I can't believe how many of your blog readers actually believe you're dating George Clooney!
Me: Um...am I to take it from your tone that YOU don't think I could be dating George Clooney?
JLB: No, I don't think you could be dating George Clooney AND NOT TELL ME ABOUT IT!
(Note to self: this is why Jen is a good friend.)
Me: Well, George and I could be trying to keep our love a secret, you know. He IS a public figure and a very private man.
JLB: Your secret love is why you blogged about it?
Me: (choosing to ignore this perfectly valid argument) Besides, if I were really dating George Clooney, do you really think I'd introduce him to my younger, skinnier, hotter friends?
JLB: Of course you would! Otherwise how would I meet all of HIS hot friends?
(Have I mentioned yet that Jen is very, very smart?)
Me: Why do you need me for access to hot friends? Doesn't your roommate know a guy on the FBI soccer team? Is there a more potentially hot group of men in the world than the FBI SOCCER TEAM?
Jen: I've been thinking about that. I wonder...
Me: Who does the FBI soccer team play?
Jen: Yeah.
Me: Because if it's the CIA soccer team...
Jen: Then...yeah...hot.
Me: But if it's like the team from some accounting firm or something...
Jen: So see...THIS is why you have to introduce me to Clooney!
Me: If I'm dating him.
Jen: Yeah.
Me: I think you'd better stick to the soccer team.

Lol! Jennifer Lynn Barnes is awesome! I am reading one of her books now! That was a funny conversation! =]
<3 Renee
hey Ally,
awww... poor Jen. She doesn't have a man! ;)
-Kat
WOW! lol that was funny. You have the funniest and weirdest phone convercations. Weird in a good way!! lol!!!
lolololol!!!! I LUV your fone convos, ally!
Yeah, I'd like to get in on that FBI soccer team action, too! :D
I'm on the FBI soccer team.
Just kidding.
Is this conversation real or are you pulling our legs again? I am inclined to believe that it's real...but you never know!
I tootlally beleive you could date cloony but Seriously plz pl Plz Plz PLZ!!!!!(!!!!!!) giveu sa hint on gg3 or where u are in writing the book so we no how long we have to wait in agony. Plz think about it? luv ya **kat**
haha, u can always make me laugh, ally.
hey wouldnt it be cool if the fbi really DOES have a soccer team?
what books has ur friend written? r they really good?
I think you ought to know that I had a covert operations dream last night. I loved it :)
Love the phone conversation. I wouldn't mind some tickets to the FBI soccer game.
weird conversation. But that makes me ponder baout your next book. Maybe your conversation was a hint...
I agree...most soccer guys are hot (unless...yeah if there accountants i guess not as hot as body guards and stuff but watever)
Oh! And don't get me started on lacrosse guys! I mean yeah the sport is lacking in...well...the smartness factor (I mean really...hitting eachother with sticks? come on!) and soccer is a better sport but lacrosse guys are a fine breed of hottness! And yes George Clooney also!
Do you know Stephanie Meyers too? Cause if u did ur phone conversations would probably be and argument over who's hotter...Edward Cullen or Zach. My friends and I discussed it and believe it's a tie (no offense one of them hasn't read LYKY or Cross my heart)
Zach is strong,mysterious, hot, a spy, protective to a certain extent,a spy!, funny, as bad as a boy in a spy school can be, did I mention a SPY! and more!
Edward is strong, protective, hot, polite, hot eyes, understanding, a vampire who could suck out his girlfriends blood but manages to restarin himself because h's in love with her, and more!
YAY! YAY! YAY!
I could totally see my BFF and I doing that when we are older.
But seriously, did you really have that conversation? I think so, but then I think back to the George Clooney conversation and have to wonder. :)
lol outloud
giuliana
LOL!!! -can't breath-..........Still laughing!
P.S. you may think it's not really that funny but i'm on a suger high so...well....yeah....
Hot guys!!! Count me in!!!!
I like the idea of a phone conversation with Stephenie Meyer...that would be very funny.
And Ally, speaking of very popular books such as LYKY and Twilight....what makes a popular book these days. I'm not thinking about writing one (heck no!) but I was just...curious. What makes Love you Kill you so...addictive? What makes a book....popular?
(other than all that publishing jazz....the writing stuff. Whats a popular writing style?)
If that makes any sense, whatsoever.
Rock on Ally.♫♫
Ooh, Jen sounds fabulous. =D Your phone conversations make mine sound so...bland. They actually go somewhere. Oh, bah humbug. =)
Hey, maybe I'm insane or something, but I could swear there was a part of your site that advertised Cheating at Solitaire and Learning to Play Gin, but for the love of God (sorry, God!) I can't find it! Argh. Must go to Barnes and Noble...and buy Learning to Play Gin...*stretches out arms and assumes zombie position*
I can attest to the fact that Ally and I really did have this conversation. And, yes, my roommate has assured me that the FBI really does have a soccer team. Unfortunately, they are located in D.C., and I am not...
Hey!
Girls at my school are now placing unoffical bets (no money) on when GG3 is coming out and what the title will be... ? Lol anyway... The other day me and my bff were talking about Edward Cullen... A guy in my class heard us say...
"He's so hot!"
He like freaked out...
it was funny... ah.
Anyway...
This is a Question for all the comment-ers... who would win in a fist fight? Josh or Zack?
LOL,
Wghoops21
Ur Very funny... FBI soccer! so my game!
so are u dating george cloony....hmmm.....i shall pnder that for a few minutes or seconds or milaseconds i think it could be a total posibility hmmm.....
Clearly you haven't met a professional soccer player...
hahahahhahaha
now THEY are really hott
OMG!! Loved your phone conversation.... Jennifer Lynn Barnes is funny. I read her The Squad books, they were really good!
Keep up with GG3 Ally!!
oh my gosh that's amazing!! haha thank you for starting out my morning with a smile.
and yeah. CIA soccer team? *dies*
Briana
Wat about orlando bloom? He's my favorite.
Or zac Efron.
hilarious!! Love your books. You have some pretty funny conversations!
The FBI soccer team is in DC..and so am I!!!!!!!!!! I've never been happier to live near DC!
ally I love your phone conversations. they are to funny. i agree with everything everyone posted about hot guys.
zach would totally win the fist fight. i like josh, but I love zach. but i don't know if zach would have a chance to show his moves because he had to take that punch from dumb dillion so people wouldnt be suspicious. but if he had a chance, he would win for sure!
LoL! I love your conversations! I mean i might just about die laughing at them! please make more! they are so good and hilarious(and i desperatley need funny in my life)!
i love these conversations! lots of fun even if it is questionable that george cloony is good enough for u
That just made my day! =)
Hey Ally!
Jen sounds like Liz, is there any chance she was the insperation on Liz's character? Well if so you should say something like that.
The Phone conversation really WAS hillarious, oh and have you ever read the Twilight Seirse? By Stephenie Meyers? Well, it is so compelling I couldn't stop reading it! And GG1 and GG2 were JUST as good I really COULDN'T STOP READING!
So just to let you know that is a very complementing complement. Hahaha!
Keep on working on GG3 I'm rooting for you!
<(^-^)>
^Happy Face^
Ohhh! Soccer! I wanna go. Hehe. I love soccer and football (American, in case any body was wondering, I don't want you to think I'm saying the same sport over again.) I play soccer on my towns team for 14&under. It's awesome. FBI soccer sound wayy better than any soccer I can play tho. Hehe! I really want them to make GG1 a movie so I can see Cammie in action (for real).
