Sarah Mlynowski是个美国的YA小说作者,最近出了一本书叫做《Gimme a call》,主人公是个高三女生,她的手机不慎落水,打捞起来之后发现奇怪的事情发生了,别的电话都打不出去了,唯一能打出去的电话是给高一时候的自己。
这个作者在Twitter上号召各个YA的写手们来说说如果他们现在可以给高中时候的自己发个消息的话,会说点啥。反响剧烈。我现在截取一些她贴出来的段子,以博大家一笑:
@sarazarr:You are NOT FAT. You will be, but you're not now, so enjoy it.
@neilhimself:Dear 15-year-old-self, those comics you feel guilty for spending yourbarmitzvah money on each week will save your life one day.
@PebblesGoPlop:Dear HS self: things will get better after Windows 95. But in the meantime,back up all your essays or you'll lose them.
@polliejean:Dear HS self: That 'perfect' girl who's bullying you constantly? Smile and holdyour head high: you end up with her boyfriend.
我一直追看她blog的书店老板娘Josie 说:
@josieleavitt pay more attention to algebra, it turns out you’ll need it every stinking day at work.
@josieleavitt Be nicer to everyone in 9th grade because 10th grade karma is a bitch.
不知道小书房的各位会给中学的自己说点啥(咱就放宽点,初中高中都包括了)。
