I’m not on social media because I feel like that would be just such another level of responsibility that I don’t feel up to. It’s not uncommon now to have personal and public intertwined, and I don’t know how people are able to manage that. I don’t know where you go when you want to be alone if everything is out there.

It took two months from the day my fiance proposed to my first Google search for ‘wedding planning: how?’ Now, let me interrupt myself here and share how much I hate using the word ‘fiance.’ It’s so fancy, and it’s hard not to sound like a jerk saying it. Which is why I will be using my own word for fiance: gloob. Ellie Kemper Read Quote
I’ve participated in the Nautica Malibu Triathlon a couple of times, but only in the running portion. Ellie Kemper Read Quote
What’s shocking to me is seeing people walking around with green juices in their hand when the weather’s bad in New York. I couldn’t think of anything more awful to have when it’s sleeting outside. Like, ‘Oh, I’m craving some liquified kale right now.’ Ellie Kemper Read Quote
