Like John Hughes wrote in The Breakfast Club, 'We're all pretty bizarre. 'Most of my favorite people are dangerously fucked-up but you'd never guess because we've learned to bare it so honestly that it becomes the new normal. I say he should have been clearer about that before I rented all those kangaroos. My husband says that none is the new limit.

And that would be ridiculous because no one would invite a herd of kangaroos into their house. 'Some people might think that being 'furiously happy' is just an excuse to be stupid and irresponsible and invite a herd of kangaroos over to your house without telling your husband first because you suspect he would say no since he's never particularly liked kangaroos. A hysterical, ridiculous book about crippling depression and anxiety? That sounds like a terrible idea.īut terrible ideas are what Jenny does best.
