Book Excerpt: Chelsea Handler's 'Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea'
"I could tell Jason was disappointed and I didn’t want to lose his attention, so I hurried to keep him interested. I had always dreamed of becoming romantically involved with an older man and thought Jason not only had the makings of a wonderful lover, but also of a dedicated father to the two black twins I had planned on adopting from Ethiopia."


      I chose this particular story from Chelsea's book because it is lacking the vulgar drinking stories and sexcapades she is known for (and I love). There is a great story about her blacking out drunk and waking up with a man only to learn that she had told him her father owned a major airline and could give him tickets anytime. This excerpt is the same idea - Chelsea telling a ridiculous lie to get people to like her. However, she is not hammered but instead a crazy nine year old girl with a wild imagination. It may not portray the hypersexual character we see on TV today but it is still hilarious.
