About me:
"I WILL NOT ADD YOU AS A FRIEND (if I don't already know you well enough) UNLESS YOU MESSAGE ME FIRST!!!!!" This isn't meant to be assy, just trying to guard against those spammy B.S. accounts that are trying to sell me ringtones and against people who clearly don't care enough about me to read at least one sentence of my About Me. Okay, maybe I am being assy. :-)
About me:
nicomedina.com
Hi. I'm Nico. Here're some things about myself. I'm twenty-five. I was born and raised in Orlando, Florida, and I went to college at UF in Gainesville, where I could get into a club for three dollars and drink and dance for free until midnight. Now I live in New York City, where I can get a drink for $12, and where a bar can get a huge fine for anyone dancing in it. I apparently like to complain. I like fast food of all types, and I'm facing a scary lifestyle change at the moment, as my metabolism is slowing daily. I work for peanuts and health insurance as a copyeditor of children's books. Peanuts make me vomit. I'm also a writer of YA novels**. In February, I finally purchased my first pair of winter boots, after 2 1/2 winters in New York--and they're so fucking ugly, but they do the trick. I love going to concerts, and I hate going to big birthday dinners, because no one can figure out what tip AND tax add up to. Come on! I also apparently love to ramble.
**Shamless plugs: My first book, The Straight Road to Kylie, was released by Simon & Schuster (Simon Pulse) on May 22, 2007. It's available at Barnes & Noble, Borders, Walden, and all the usual online vendors (gotta love Amazon). And best of all, it's only $8.99!
My second book, Fat Hoochie Prom Queen was released on May 6, 2008. Cheap 'n' easy, just like the first book, it is $8.99 and can be ordered here.
Fat Hoochie Prom Queen
"Readers will get a kick out of Margarita and appreciate her growing honesty with herself."--Publishers Weekly
"Vibrant, over-the-top characters . . . Madge and Lucas . . . are fearless and fabulous. Most importantly, they know who they really are."
--KLIATT
"A delightful and hilarious romp through adolescent angst . . . a wonderful read."--OutSmart Magazine, Houston
The Straight Road to Kylie
A 2008 YALSA Popular Paperback for Young Adults
A 2008 New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age
"Best friends, booze, bodaciousness and bitch-slaps are the name of the game in this hilarious, full-on twist on the mistaken-identities conundrum."
--Kirkus Reviews
"A perfect blend of snark and pop-culture references . . . A smart, savvy coming-of-age story."--Orlando Sentinel
"Canny and hilarious. [Jonathan's] voice is campy without descending into stereotype . . . giddy but thoughtful."--School Library Journal
“Even when Jonathan is making colossally bad decisions--a none-too-infrequent occurrence--it is easy to like the Kylie Minogue-obsessed, gay high school student who is at the center of Medina's debut novel….Medina paints a vivid picture of Jonathan and his suburban world.”
–-Publishers Weekly
“Explores the many facets of friendship and romantic relationships.”
–-KLIATT
“Deep introspection isn’t necessary to enjoy this book … it’s a lot of fun just taking a ride around Orlando with these hilarious characters.”
–-Florida Book Review
Life is fabulous for Jonathan Parish. He’s seventeen, out and proud, and ready to party through senior year with his posse of best girlfriends. But the year starts off with the wrong kind of bang when Jonathan--in an inebriated lapse of judgment--sleeps with a friend of his... a girlfriend! When word gets around that hot-but-previously-unavailable Jonathan might be on the market, the school’s It girl approaches him with a proposal: pretend to be her boyfriend, and achieve popularity like he’s never known. But popularity isn't what Jonathan wants. And suddenly, going back into the closet becomes Jonathan's only way to get what he's after--a trip to London to see Kylie Minogue.

Who I'd like to meet:
The marketing geniuses behind this:
and, of course, Kylie Minogue
and why not Alison Goldfrapp? She's clearly got a sense of humor.
And half the Match.com ad guys.
