There's definitely more than one, so I'm making top 3:( Cut for pics )

First off... JuJu-love, dreamxobscene:
I got a package today, and it had your name on it. Have I told you how much I love you? I'm sure I did, but I wanna say it one more time; you've totally made my day. I totally did not expect the Augusten autograph, and when I opened the bookmarked page and saw it, I started crying my eyes out. Then the card just made me cry more. It was all very happy tears though, so THANK YOU.

• She got me this beautiful hoodie. I must admit I freaked out a little bit when I saw the size said 14/16, but it FITS! As you can see in the photo, I'm still fat, but I used to be a size 20, so you have no idea how good this makes me feel.
• These knickers are the cutest. I'm going to a Rainbow Party tomorrow night, so I'm gonna wear the Saturday one and show it to her if I see a hot girl 'cos it says "stay the night." ;)
• And finally, my favorite, "Running With Scissors" autographed for ME by Augusten Burroughs.

( Answers for the Top Fives Meme -- everyone better look at this 'cos it took forfuckingever to put together! )

Hope I didn't fuck up any links.

Backstory:
His new book (new book at the time) came out when I was in my senior year of college. Once I read that, I read his old ones as well, again. I'm sure I don't need to tell you how tough that year was, and I would just read my favorite book of his (Git Kendini Çok Sevdirmeden) whenever I felt depressed. At the end of the year, I found his e-mail and sent him a note, asking whether he would sign the book and then send if back to me if I mailed it to him. I didn't hear a word. I sent him the same e-mail a few more times and then gave up.

Nowstory
So tonight when I caught him, I told him the story. He said he must have missed the e-mails and apologized, and then he was like, Of course, I will sign your book. My book's in Philly, but thankfully I had my journal with me. It just feels so good that he took the time to write something special to me in the dark, having actually listened as I chattered like a school girl.



I love it when people I admire turn out to be sweeter and kinder in person.

Thank you for sharing your words; you fucking deserve to be my favorite.

On the 16th, I'm seeing my favorite Turkish author play with his band. Of course, I'm being a cheery school girl about it. I really hope I get to meet him because I've been wanting to for years now.


My lovely gig gang: WISH ME LUCK.
