You know, I don’t have a problem being 27 and unmarried. But dating these days sucks. Period.
Most of the girls I know from high school and college no longer have this problem. In fact, they haven’t had to deal with this for a while because they got married soon after...

Um ... you might as well just get used to the...
Normally, as you all know, I adore the whole “holy matrimony” thing. But with my only brother getting married in LESS THAN 10 MONTHS (July! JULY!) and his beautiful fiancee Allie coming into town in two weeks so we can look at gowns at Kleinfeld Bridal, that ordinary fondness has blossomed into a full-blown zeal.

Me: Why don't they have a pink American Express card??
Megan: I don't know.
Me: A lot of girls would sign up.
Megan: I know.
Me: I would sign up.
Megan: Yep.
Me: They should seriously have one.
Megan: [nods]
Me: Who do you think has the authority to introduce such a card?
Megan: I have no idea.
Me: We should email them. This could be huge.
Me: You know, guys tend not to take things so personally. I think the answer to most of our personality based business problems would be solved if we just thought "What would a guy do?" [pause] So, what would a guy do in this situation?
Megan: Break her fucking hand.
Me: Yeah ... I'm going to have to encourage you not to take that route.

As you may or may not know, I’m a new SONY spokesperson this fall.
We shot the commercials (there are two tv spots, as well as two or three web videos, print, and an in-store … display?) in June - and yes, I “hung out” with both Justin Timberlake and Peyton Manning. ;)
At the end of the shoot we did a scene where I have to eat a cupcake. Probably used to normal actresses...

This conversation actually happened.
Mom: Your father gave me the best present ever!
Dad: I did. It's the best.
Me: An iPhone?
Mom: A PENCIL SHARPENER!!!
Me: A pencil sharpener?
Mom: Yes! I like pencils! And I like when they're sharp!
Me: I don't even know how to respond to this.
