True/Slant Interview
I was interviewed by Michael Humphrey of True/Slant. Michael is like a magical unicorn with the power to interview extremely effectively. I had a lot of fun doing this and it made me feel like a rock star, so I thought I'd share with you guys. It also might help to answer a few of your questions about why I am the way I am:http://trueslant.com/michaelhumphrey/2010/05/03/the-life-and-lines-of-allie-brosh-hyperbole-and-a-half/

You should definitely write an autobiography! I'd love to read it, illustrated of course... annnd maybe add a rabid unibearshark or two just to spice it up :D
ReplyDeletecongrats on the interview! I'd buy your book, too!
ReplyDeleteI hope you do publish a book, everyone at my office would buy it! You are the funniest thing I read all day.
ReplyDelete:D you're so funny it hurts my brain!!!are we allowed to make requests? can i request that you write a post about yetis?
ReplyDeletewhat a brilliant interview - so well written and insightful. i'm thrilled for you, and so happy that more and more people are getting a chance to experience Allie Brosh. you have a huge heart, enormous sense of humor and never-ending talent. please take some medicine and write your book! xo
ReplyDeleteAllie, YOU are a magical unicorn. It's kinda cool that the mythical creature actually exists within you. It's also kinda cool that I knew of your blog and followed when you only had 500 followers. It's akin to dating Bill Gates in high school before he was like a bajillionaire computer genius. :o)Great interview, I'm so thrilled for your amazing exponentially growing success. I guess soon you WILL be champion of the internet! Tell me when we can throw the party for that.Congratulations,Jenn
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize they take 16 hours to make!! I just found this blog and have been thinking, "Why doesn't she post something else funny already, its been a week!" Now maybe I will cut you some slack.That being said, the interview doesn't count as a post, LOL. :)
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine directed me to your blog about a week and a half ago. I just finished reading old posts today and I wanted to say you RAWK. My husband and I laughed so hard over the Milk Crisis and How a Fish Destroyed My Childhood posts that we were crying, like ALOT (he's such a pansy).I'm totally hooked. Seriously some of my favorite comedic writing ever. Plus, it's always a comfort to know that what we consider neuroses in ourselves isn't actually that uncommon. (I totally hear you on the panic room stuff! I'm married to a soldier, and I STILL don't feel safe half the time!)Anyway, LOVE YOU.
ReplyDeleteGreat interview. You are such a rock star!
ReplyDeleteFantastic interview! Your blog is pretty cool, so...of course they interview you!
ReplyDelete"I think my self-esteem has been greatly increased by allowing myself to be vulnerable."I love that.
ReplyDeleteI read the "human biological sciences graduate" part and thought, why did he need to specify that she's human? Then it went ding!, as in the biological sciences of humans.But anyway, love the blog and often giggle hysterically.
ReplyDeleteOk this is awesome. I found your blog about two weeks ago and you make me laugh until I cry.Seriously, it was kind of bad that I discovered you just before my property class because I was having fits of convulsion laughing and trying to get myself to calm down before class started. People were staring, I was judged.Your fish story had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. Your pictures are perfect and I could just picture this poor little seven year old trying to put her fish out of its misery.In short, you are awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome. :D Thank you for helping me procrastinate.
ReplyDeleteI don't mean to whine, but I really need more than one post a week from you. Even three a week would be ok, like one every other day?I mean, I'm sure you're busy and everything, and you did almost die and stuff, but its like you go me stuck on the Allie-crack and then you cut me off. I guess that makes me an Allie-crack whore, but I don't care.Allie-crack whore and I don't care.Allie-crack whore and I don't care.Allie-crack whore and I dooonnn'tttt caaaaaaaarrrrreeee...my blogstress' gone away.
ReplyDeleteOk, Peaceful Pandemonium, that was almost as funny as Allie! :)
ReplyDelete2 million visits a month? At least you know there's an audience when that book hits shelves.
ReplyDeleteomg allie, i just adore you. i don't care if you're super creepy.and also, im clearly adverse to punctuation and capital letters.your blog has made me laugh on some truly hideous days, and im really grateful. xoxoNicole@NicoleElise
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I was surprised to find that Duncan has so much hair. But congratulations nonetheless!
ReplyDeleteI've been surfing the net since the early days of dial-up. I have never bookmarked a blog before AND actually went back to see what is new. That is, until I stumbled your page. I totally dig it. Congratulations on the interview!
ReplyDeletePlease please please write a children's book. I would love to have something age appropraite to show my kids when they want to know why mommy is laughing hysterically at the computer screen.
ReplyDeleteWrite one of those children's books that is really geared toward the adult who has to read it over and over and over again. Please. Really.
ReplyDelete..you are the most awesome girl in the history of ever. :)
ReplyDeleteI was going to click on an advertisement to support your blog, as I have been enjoying it quite a bit for the last couple of weeks.But the only Google ad up was for Summer's Eve feminine wash, and I'm a guy. That would a) look awkward when my fiancée saw the history and b) be extremely deceptive, as I have no need for that product. Like, whatsoever.Unless I wanted to squirt my friends with it next time they come over. ...Maybe I should click on that ad.
ReplyDeleteAt some point in your life, you are going to have to hold a baby. When that time comes, you will discover that babies are terrifying and they hate you.This is one of the most hysterical truisms I have ever heard.
