So, readers, you probably know that I have an extreme love affair with Robin McKinley's books. All of which are amazing and feuding with each other as to which is my favorite. I mean, they're mostly* heroine centered books with fantasy elements and a fluency in writing that very few writers can achieve.
My love of her books has led to a love of her, and a habitual reading of her blog and tweets. Yes. You read that right. Robin McKinley has a Twitter account. Twitter excerpt and direct R. McKinley quote:
"4tunately hellhounds r CUTE. Like apples off yr tree & sweetcorn out of yr garden r transcendently delicious. But OK, I want perfection. So?"
Forgive me, but she is SO old lady it is adorable and hilarious.
And uh, she apparently has a large amount of converse shoes if you pay attention to her blog pictures .
This lady is constantly walking her "Hellhounds" and wears Converse?! How do you do that? REALLY?! I stopped wearing Converse when I had to start trekking a mile to class (When I deign to brighten the classes with my shining presence). Walking in shoes sans arch and squishy soles HURTS. Especially when you're flat footed like I am. Though, I pretend like it gives me super swimming abilities because I'm "flat footed as a duck".
Erm, I'm going to bed now after a completely random excursion onto the blog in the middle of my sleeping. If this doesn't make sense, well then, it goes well with all the other posts.
*Though, God Forbid, that I'm labeling her. Because I'm not. She seems to exude great hatred for those who do so. (But I kinda am.... Ah well.)

... I really need to catch up on Robin McKinley's releases.
Also, the only time I ever read her blog, she'd written some scathing post about how fat people shouldn't be allowed in the theatre (more or less), so I just moved along and never revisited. I hope she'd just been having a bad day, or something. If not, then may God make her fat later in life.
(Just kidding! I think.)
She seems to be a rather angry old lady in a ridiculous way.
I feel she is bitter about being in matrimony with someone old enough to be her father when SHE is old enough to OUR grandmother. It's quite terrible.
Personally, if she did say such a thing, I hope a rather rotund lady wearing extremely loud perfume sits on her during a lovely play while I giggle profusely in the background. Or from atop her. According to what I've been eating lately.
