please, anything but another textbook

School is out and I am devouring any books I can that aren't text books until I start summer school next week.

 Book #1- Bossypants- Tina Fey

Tina Fey has always been one of my heroes! I have been dying to read her book (school really screws up my leisurely reading) anyways I wanted to share a little excerpt from the book that really made me smile for some reason.

"Amy Poehler was new to SNL and we were all crowded into the seventeenth-floor writers' room, waiting for the Wednesday read-through to start. There were always a lot of noisy "comedy bits" going on in that room. Amy was in the middle of some such nonsense with Seth Meyers across the table, and she did something vulgar as a joke. I can't remember what it was exactly, except it was dirty and loud and "unladylike."

Jimmy Fallon, who was arguably the star of the show at the time, turned to her and in a faux-squeamish voice said, "Stop that! It's not cute! I don't like it."

Amy dropped what she was doing, went black in the eyes for a second, and wheeled around on him. "I don't f***ing care if you like it."

After reading this I decided Amy's words are my new motto (sorry for the language, but as I have learned from my wonderful mother sometimes that swear is certainly warranted)

Do you.
