Dude, British people (well some of us) do say “dude”. Ok, it’s partly a mood thing. partly who we’re talking to rather than a default selection.

Equally, depending on circumstances, I might address a random guy I met in the street as “Jimmy”, “Big Man” or “Wee Man” depending on our relative heights, and the random woman might well get “Hen” irrespective of age.

Hoping I’m not too late and with apologizing for not reading every comment, I suppose I have a few questions.

Were any NKOTGs too traumatic to write about?
Um, how is it being a star on the internet? Seriously, you’re famous and I’m curious!

Yeah, I’ve never been too good at asking questions…

This is nerdy, but what are your all-time favorite books? Which ones do you recommend most often?

Also, I have been wondering: SERIOUSLY WHO ARE YOU AND HOW ARE YOU SO AWESOME?!

Have you noticed how I’m not gloating? Because, you know, I’m not the type to gloat. And *this* is definitely not gloating. Even though I could. And it would certainly be warranted. If I were the type to gloat. Which I’m not.

I’ll start with the obvious question: Are you, and also the folks you regularly feature in your tales, actually real human beings? And not, like, some 56-year-old dude coming up with all this while he’s supposed to be running spreadsheets at work?

Have you found it easier to be “that kind of girl” for this year-long experiment since you have a measure of anonymity on the blog?

What’s your middle name?

If you won two matching $5.00 gift cards from a noted online book store, would you buy Wodehouse or Waugh (assuming quite correctly that you owned neither, but decided to give one of them a shot; Because after all it was costing you almost nothing)?

Yes, the far longer parenthetic segment was by design.
