Merry Christmas!
Nice seeing you at our Huge Wonder booth at Stitch! I had that baby, by the way, one week later, my little Raiden Dio. I made your dirty sugar cookies this morning for Santa with my toddler :)

Thanks for the awesome card -- I'm just getting around to selectively thanking people: It's not like I got married or something, y'know? -- and I want you to know that your celebrity status means shit to me in the realm of you being an awesome, funny, brilliant woman with two children who are lucky to have you. You'll always have a bed to sleep in at my house and a place in my heart, in or out of my house.

Much peace and love to you and yours,
Kristen

Hope you're having a blissful summer!

Hi Ayun,
I loved "No Touch Monkey." It was a fun read. You actually liked durian? I tried it once and thought it tasted like jellied jet fuel. Yowzaa! It smelled up my entire house. Anyhow, now I'm going to read your other books. Thanks for befriending me! Peace.

I bet "No Touch Monkey" is a lot funnier than "Eat, Pray, Love". Okay, I promise I'll read it now - I honestly do not know what has taken me so long. (but I still continue to plug Rumpus on my public access show!)

Hi Ayun,

It was fun reading with you last night. I thought I had read that tasty mangosteen bit of yours before (literary deja vu of sorts). And then I realized I DID read it on PerceptiveTravel.com !
