October 08, 2007: "eclat (pas vraiment)"
dude.
i came across something on the new york times website today, which has left me somewhat dumbstruck. "don't open this cookie (disastrous day inside)" - does this excerpt sound familiar?One blogger, who got the "professional help" fortune, wrote: "I shot the audacious baked item a dirty look and proceeded to eat it. And I hope it hurt."
with my mean cookies and their abrogation entry.
... dude.
my only concerns are (1) i come off as someone who frequently threatens oriental cookies in her blogs, and (2); when offended, i tend to eat the offenders.
i really don't. i swear, it was just the one time.

DUDE. that's so awesome that you got quoted! i wonder how they found your quote? That's really cool - congrats! :)
[Jessie] Saturday, October 20th
that's pretty freaking funny. I don't think you come off as some psycho who eats whoever offends you, it's just a funny well-written statement.
too bad they didn't link you ;) but it's pretty cool to be mentioned on the NYT website if you ask me!

That is soo awesome =] I wish I could be quoted xD
Haha, maybe I'll copy and paste this for my research topic, heheh, I'm doing something about blogging...
Word.

WHOA. You're like ... famous! In a newspaper article! WHAT THE HECK. So awesome!

Lol at your friend saying all Asians look the same. I've heard Asian people say all white people look the same... and with other races.
That wouldn't have even bothered me as much as trying to compliment me with the whole "you look like you're going to marry your brother" bit. I TRIED to look into how it could be a compliment--but it's lost on me too!!
[Brianna] Tuesday, October 16th
You got quoted in an NY times article?!?! That's amazing, plus it was a funny quip... Congratulations!
[Catherine] Tuesday, October 16th
Oh I think I just got it! You were mentioned in the NY Times. That's well awesome! :D
[Catherine] Tuesday, October 16th
I often read your blogs and do not have a clue what you're talking about. I really want a cookie now though!
[Nanda] Sunday, October 14th
Ooh that's awesome! I once wanted to get fortune cookies at the Lidl supermarket but they were sold out. :(
[Exene] Saturday, October 13th
Nice things said in cookies never happen.
I want to be posted in a newspaper someday too! but I hope it's for a good thing and that I'll get plugged.
[Trang] Saturday, October 13th
SWEET! You got in the New York Times Magazine on web!! =0
[Kendra] Saturday, October 13th
Hahaha!!
Nice work. :D
[Courtney] Friday, October 12th
WAIT. The first time I read this, I didn't quite get it. THEY QUOTED YOU?! OMGWTFFLKSDHGKLDS THAT'S SOOO COOL! OMG OMG OMG! *mind melts* Seriously, though. You've...you've been published. In the FREAKING New York Times. O_O Funny they didn't ask permission.
Thanks for your comments! Yes, I love them! Sorry it took me awhile to get back to you! Thanks! ^^ Yeah, it's finally getting chilly here. I am actually wearing a hoodie as we speak (read: as I type). Thanks for the encouragement! You're so sweet. xD lol I've barely been able to wear any of the clothes I've bought because it's been so hot, but finally it's been around the 60's!
Omg, I really love to ponder about language! I should post more entries like that when I can think of them. =D Hmm, I totally think it's perception to us. Like, have you notice German accents sound smart and French ones sound exotic, but we made fun of Asian ones and Spanish accents? Interesting stuff. lol I can sort of do a British accent, but I want to perfect it. xD I would love to go to Britian and try to blend in for a day and see if I got any funny looks. LET'S DO IT! (After much practice, of course.) lol Inspiration and willpower...both necessary for losing weight. I think the easiest thing I do is drink a lot of water when I just want a snack...it's good for you anyway. (I also tend to skip meals sometimes because I literally forget to eat, so that helps, lmao.)
(P.S. SERIOUSLY, I love bookstores. I'm content to put things in alphabetical order without talking to anyone. xDD And I can spend hours in them, too. =D)
[Jan] Friday, October 12th
Haha, that's really funny xD
Thanks for the really lovely comment < 3
[Cynthia] Friday, October 12th
OMGGGG, hahaha, you were on NYTimes. awesiiiiim.
[Keng] Wednesday, October 10th
Even though they didn't specifically say it was you, that's pretty sweet. 8D You, my friend, deserve lots and lots and lots of that cool emoticon. So here's another one: 8D !!
Fortune cookies are pretty good to snack on when you're bored. Orrr when you've watched a particular movie at least four times in the same month and just want it to stop for once (so you know, let yourself get distracted by said cookie). XD
HA. You still owe me a reply---who's taking forever now?!? ;P
[Lil] Wednesday, October 10th
I don't visit your blog for a while and you get a phrase from your blog published in the ny times? You jammy girl you. Fortune cookies are awesome - although I think threatening them is something that would suit you well. Like an endearing personality trait... could be fun.
[terin selena] Wednesday, October 10th
Congrats on getting part of your article mentioned in the NY Times.
[Nirthikaa] Tuesday, October 9th
It's so cool that your quote (or sentence) was mentioned in a NYT article! Go Connie!!
I actually never liked fortune cookies, it was too greasy for me. The message inside was never any better, it was always "Good Fortuune will come your way" which irks me since I hate misspellings :P.
[Nayana] Tuesday, October 9th
Oh Connie you are too hilarious. LOL
.. Dude LOL
I haven't had a fortune cookie in a long time though LOL I always like saying what the fortune says and adding "In bed" at the end xD Oh what fun times.
Take care
... xox ...
[Niki] Tuesday, October 9th
I find it so awesome that you got mentioned in their article. Congrats! :)
[Thao] Tuesday, October 9th
LMAO... at least the cookie didn't single you out. I bet it tasted much better now in retrospect.
Poor cookie, didn't see what was coming.
Thanks for the well-wishing on the puppy. In fact, I did tell him that one of my readers told him that he should get me a puppy, but he still fought it. MAYBE I'll get a fortune cookie for THAT!
[Katerina] Tuesday, October 9th
I'd never guessed NYT took the time to read blogs.
Anyway it's awesome that you're mentioned!You're a celebrity now...can I have your autograph please???
[Esme] Tuesday, October 9th
wow cool your mentioned!!! How awesome is that?
[Jenn~] Monday, October 8th
Wow, that's cool that you were mentioned, hehe~ Too bad they didn't link your blog, then you'd be a STAR~!! ^_^
[Ali] Monday, October 8th
I told you. You're kind of a big deal.
Also. Mention grassboy. Maybe that will get in the NYT too.
[Sasha] Monday, October 8th
