OH JOYOUS DAY: noted funny person Anna Kendrick is releasing a book, and today that book got a title: ‘Scrappy Little Nobody‘.
Oh God. I just realized I’m stuck with me my whole life.

Hi, I’m Anna, I’m alone tonight and I’m looking for a strapping muscular man to come over because butternut squash is hard to dice. ??????

Does the food network use music recycled from 80’s porn, or do I want to fuck that soufflé?

She announced the news in a v. v. typical Anna Kendrick way on social media this morning – by making jokes that are, like, so relatable.
The book might not be out till November 15 (you can pre-order it here), but if you want a taster of what Anna Kendrick’s words are like when not limited to 140 characters, here it is:
“I’m excited to publish my first book, and because I get uncomfortable when people have high expectations, I’d like to use this opportunity to showcase my ineptitude, pettiness, and the frequency with which I embarrass myself. And while many of my female inspirations who have become authors are incredibly well-educated and accomplished comedy writers, I’m very, very funny on Twitter, according to Buzzfeed and my mom, so I feel like this is a great idea.
“Quick question: are run-on sentences still frowned upon? Wait, is ending a sentence with a preposition still frowned upon? I mean, upon frowned? Dammit!”
Marry me.
