June 23rd, 2008 (A photo of me at the gay bar & a quote from Jesse about RHUL's housing)  


Anyway, I hope your request is granted. If they don't you should reply:
"Excuse me, but do you know who I am? I am Susan Sue Jane Phelan Gaiman. I'm kind of really fucking awesome. I'm an internet celebrity and the Queen of the United States of America (you may not have heard because you're over in England not brushing your teeth and studying Shakespeare and speaking too quickly and ending all your sentences with an upward inflection) but I am most importantly an INTERNET. CELEBRITY. Please house me as I would like to be housed. Thank you."

God, I love Jesse so much.

April 22nd, 2008 (Happy Earth Day!)  
"In the shower today I tried to think about the best advice I'd ever been given by another writer. There was something that someone said at my first Milford, about using style as a covering, but sooner or later you would have to walk naked down the street, that was useful...

And then I remembered. It was Harlan Ellison about a decade ago.

He said, "Hey. Gaiman. What's with the stubble? Every time I see you, you're stubbly. What is it? Some kind of English fashion statement?"

"Not really."

"Well? Don't they have razors in England for Chrissakes?"

"If you must know, I don't like shaving because I have a really tough beard and sensitive skin. So by the time I've finished shaving I've usually scraped my face a bit. So I do it as little as possible."

"Oh." He paused. "I've got that too. What you do is, you rub your stubble with hair conditioner. Leave it a couple of minutes, then wash it off. Then shave normally. Makes it really easy to shave. No scraping."

I tried it. It works like a charm. Best advice from a writer I've ever received."
