I <3 Allie of Hyperbole and a Half

Like many of you, I've been mourning the loss of new posts over at Hyperbole and a Half while Allie writes her first book. So, I was thrilled when she popped up on Twitter tonight.

Then this happened:




---- about 20 minutes later ----







Aaaand I can die happy now.

Thanks, Allie. You had me at "Tipey."

    LOL... "you had me at typey" totally cracked me up. My daughter is writing a book right now and she is struggling with a little writer block - I made her come over to my computer and enjoy this with me. I think we just found her new screen saver :)

    I just discovered Allie's blog last night, and just started reading Epbot recently, though I've been a devoted Cakewrecks fan for years. SO, I love "Hyperbole," I love "Epbot," and I love "Cakewrecks". The last couple of days have just been a blog orgy for me! Mwah-hah-hah-hah-hah!

    Tipey! I <3 Allie too and have been missing her horribly... I even have her picture of "I'm going to be a champion" from her "Texas" post as my wallpaper...

    But mot importantly, this post made me realize I'm not following you on twitter.. I saw Allie's half of the conversation but was missing something! Time to remedy that......

    I had JUST been on her site yesterday to check if there was anything new. Thanks for posting this here! I miss her, too, and am looking forward to her book.

    The first time I visited Hyperbole and a Half, I was sitting in an airport waiting for a plane, bored out of my mine. I went on her site and randomly read the "Sneaky Hate Spiral" and laughed so hard that people moved away from me. I had tears rolling down my face from laughter--always great in a public place, no? People must have thought I was insane.
    I still laugh, thinking about that particular post.

    Love H&aH and Love Epbot! Thanks!!!!!!

    I read H&1/2 when you linked to it once before...as in, did nothing for most of the day but READ ALL THE THINGS!...but I never subscribed and subsequently forgot about it. (I know, and I'm sorry!)

    So now I just went back and read everything I'd missed, and her dog stories are just amAZING. Love the expressions on stupid dog's face.

    Anyway, now I'm stuck in Allie mode, and it's kind of fun. So, um, yeah, hope she gets to finish all her tipeying before she gets arrested for threatening you.

    I love both of your blogs so much. I figured that's why she hasn't been posting anything new (cause of the book). I can not WAIT to get that book. I have asked for the cake wrecks books for two Xmases now. Maybe this year I will get lucky. Or if worse comes to worse, I'll have to pay for all of the books myself. Anyways, I know I am going to enjoy all of them alot ;)
