"The world is quiet here."
A Lemony Snicket fan blog that has wonderfully gotten out of hand.
What is this letter project? For a while I promised my followers that if I ever met Daniel handler I would collect any letters they wanted to send on tumblr print them out as a book and hand deliver them to him. Sure enough I did meet him this did happen and he did read them (scroll through oct 23rd archive to see all my post or check the tag “the letter project” )Handler did read the letters. He responded in a live chat on 01/16/13 that he read the letter but did not contact me because he did not have my home address (i did however give him my emai) he said thank you. Our mission was accomplished :)

Today I was doing an online math problem for my algebra class and one of the questions started out “Josephine baked 36 cookies” and all I could think was
no josephine did not bake any cookies
josephine doesn’t turn on the heat
josephine is afraid the oven will catch fire and burn the whole house down
josephine is terrified of realtors, for god’s sake

On April 5th Lemony Snicket made a rare appearance on Twitter to answer questions on being scared in order to help you conquer your fears. The following is the transcript.
Greetings to all. You will tell me your fears and I will help you best I can, which in my experience is not very much.
Q: Should I be afraid of the dark?
A: As with mayonnaise, you should not be afraid of the thing itself, but what is lurking inside.
Q: If someone with a tattoo of an eye on their ankle approaches me and offers me a ride, should I be afraid?
A: Would your family pay a great deal of money for your safe return? My answer depends on yours.
Q: Haunted houses: scary or not scary?
A: Actual haunts, no. Teenagers at a fair, yes.
Q: What’s the scariest book you’ve ever read?
A: Angelina Ballerina, for obvious reasons.
Q: How can I, as a human of far greater strength & size be TERRIFIED of a 3-in long silverfish I found in my bathroom?
A: Power is not a matter of strength and size. Consider the fable of Dom Deluise and a thumbtack.
Q: I’m afraid of trying new things. Can you help?
A: Try an old thing instead, like Wilkie Collins or F.W. Murnau.
Q: Who is the scariest Disney character?
A: Walt.

There’s an easy method for finding someone when you hear them scream. First get a clean sheet of paper and a sharp pencil. Then sketch out nine rows of fourteen squares each. Then throw the piece of paper away and find whoever is screaming so you can help them. It is no time to fiddle with paper.

People aren’t either wicked or noble. They’re like chef’s salads, with good things and bad things chopped and mixed together in a vinaigrette of confusion and conflict.”

And their lives were lousy with lousiness, from terrible people to horrible meals, from terrifying locations to horrifying circumstances, and from dreadful inconveniences to inconvenient dreads, so that it seemed that their lives would always be lousy, lousy with lousy days and lousy with lousy nights, even if all of the lousy things with which their lives were lousy became less lousy, and less lousy with lousiness, over the lousy course of each lousy-with-lousiness moment, and with each new lousy mushroom, making the cave lousier and lousier with lousiness, it was almost too much for the Baudelaire orphans to bear.
