Nicolette and I have this thing we like to call "the friend list". This isn't so much about our actual real life friends as the women and men we don't know but admire. It's unlikely that either of us will end up being friends with any of these people for many reasons. Chief among them the fact that we can't seem to keep it together on the rare occasions we get to meet "listers". Seriously. It's not pretty. So, in the interest of maintaining a thin veneer of self respect and keeping the number of restraining orders to a minimum, we keep a list and admire from afar.
Easily near the top of this list would be our hero Tina Fey. I started listening to her new book Bossypants today and within the first five minutes I was laughing so hard, I cried. It's really convenient when someone from the list writes a memoir. It let's us feel closer to our "friend" and yet remain at a distance where we can't make asses of ourselves in front of them. No-one gets hurt. We can remain creepy.
P.S. Tina is the narrator of the audiobook (natch). I can't say for sure, but I think this makes it a little awesomer than the paper version.
P.P.S. Yes, awesomer is a word.
