My best friend Mindy Kaling

This is Mindy Kaling.

This is her book that I just read: 

It was so great. 

Now be warned- There are a couple of swears.... 

(*Gasp! Sister Missionary! What are you READING?*)

But I swear, Mindy gets me. 

People always say they want Zooey Deschanel to be their best friend, 

and that's cool.

But my celebrity best friend is officially Mindy Kaling.

Everything she had to say I related to.

I laughed.

 I cried.

(Mostly because I was laughing so hard)

It moved me, Bob. 

Some of my Favorite quotes: 

“You should know I disagree with a lot of traditional advice. For instance, they say the best revenge is living well. I say it’s acid in the face—who will love them now?”

“Teenage girls, please don’t worry about being super popular in high school, or being the best actress in high school, or the best athlete. Not only do people not care about any of that the second you graduate, but when you get older, if you reference your successes in high school too much, it actually makes you look kind of pitiful, like some babbling old Tennessee Williams character with nothing else going on in her current life. What I’ve noticed is that almost no one who was a big star in high school is also big star later in life. For us overlooked kids, it’s so wonderfully fair.” 

“Sometimes you just have to put on lip gloss and pretend to be psyched.” 

“It makes me cry because it means that fewer and fewer people are believing it's cool to want what I want, which is to be married and have kids and love each other in a monogamous, long-lasting relationship.” 

“Later, when you're grown up, you realize you never really get to hang out with your family. You pretty much have only eighteen years to spend with them full time, and that's it.” 

“I’m only marginally qualified to be giving advice at all. My body mass index is certainly not ideal, I frequently use my debit card to buy things that cost less than three dollars because I never have cash on me, and my bedroom is so untidy it looks like vandals ransacked the Anthropologie Sale section. I’m kind of a mess.” 

“The chorus of “Jack and Diane” is: Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone. Are you kidding me? The thrill of living was high school? Come on, Mr. Cougar Mellencamp. Get a life.” 

“Even in my revenge fantasy where all I do is exercise, I can still do only twenty-five pull-ups. Pull-ups are tough, no joke.” 

“If I’m at a party where I’m not enjoying myself, I will put some cookies in my jacket pocket and leave without saying good-bye.”

.... You see what I mean? It's like she is writing my thoughts in the most witty and funny way possible!
