Nice and Mean Featured on Jen Nadol’s Blog
Posted in Nice and Mean, Promotion of Self and Others on 03/05/2010 02:22 pm by jessMy fellow Tenner, the endlessly energetic Jen Nadol (whose name, smushed together in her Twitter profile, looks attractively like Jenna dol), featured me on her Book Briefs feature. (Thanks, Jen!) You can check it out here, and read more about her book, the gorgeously attired The Mark, here.
And if you’ve come here because you were there and you’re like, “Double-dipping–what’s the point?” I’ve got a cookie for you. There are currently 94 days (94!) until the release of Nice and Mean. So I’m going to give you a little glimpse of what happens on p. 94 (::opening advance copy and hoping it doesn’t contain a major spoiler::)
Okay, here you go. Sachi, the most un-trendy of characters, has to make a video about the subject of trends. (Don’t ask. Just read the book.) But she kind of gets into it, interviewing a friend, and thinks,
Lainey was one of the only people in our grade who wore Converse hi-tops, but they didn’t look dorky, like Priyanka’s old reeboks. I really wanted to find out how people knew when originality was cool and when it was doomed.
Don’t forget–four days til the Nice and Mean swag giveaway!
(And now I really need to post something not about Nice and Mean. I’m making myself Nice and Sick.)

This is to Christine…Personally… I can’t agree to any of your points. All that about “having the aitbliy to clearly express yourself” et cetera is all meaningless to someone learning English. If you don’t have the foundation to backup your language aitbliy, how on earth can you express anything? Face it woman, you’re not gonna get employed by saying that you “express” yourself in English as well as Mandela in a job interview…Yeah… you really should think about it…
