If you really hate me, you should at least have the courtesy to take out a piece of paper and write it down and mail it to me. If you're a worthy nemesis, I want to see your handwriting.

Some of the themes she writes about are stuff I wish was there for me when I was in high school, and I'm so happy she really cares about her female fans.

Yeah, I have to work on my jokes.
