There are a lot of new things going on in my life and it can be a bit overwhelming, so my new motto is “What would Liz Lemon do?”
For example, would Liz Lemon wear a blazer? Yes, yes she would. So, I bought two new blazers.
Would Liz Lemon make an awkward joke in order to break an even more awkward silence? Of course. And so will I.
Would Liz Lemon shout wildly at the driver in the car behind her because she felt like he was judging her for throwing an apple core out the window? I happen to think she would. And I already have.
Would Liz Lemon fully immerse herself in the drama of the olympics and not miss an event and eat box after box of cheez-its while she watched? Duh. And I think it’s clear that’s the right thing to do.
Would Liz Lemon stay up late to watch a terrible yet somehow amazing reality show? Yes. And it’s totally worth it.
After, I wrote this post, I googled “What would Liz Lemon do?” and there is like an entire community of people asking themselves that very same question and writing about it. And you know something, that brings me a lot of comfort.
One of my students is a WWLLD devotee…..
Really Happy to find tons of people who think like that too, Totally inlove with liz lemon! <3
What would Liz Lemon do? Put you on my Blogdramedyroll.
Really? For really real?
Who looks cuter in glasses– Lisa Loeb or Tina Fey? How would Liz answer?
I think Liz would say Tina Fey.
Would Liz Lemon make up a really dumb excuse to get out of jury duty? She would and she has. As I have now.
I made it sound like I was Rapunzel. “I don’t own a car, or a bike, and I feel that it would be really unsafe for me to traverse unfamiliar streets alone as a solitary female.” If they deny my request, I’ll have to dress up as Leia.
You could say you don’t recognize the authority of the courts because you weren’t (as a woman) represented when they were established. Just off the top of my head.
I dream of being as amazing as Liz Lemon.
We all do friend, we all do.
God, I love Liz Lemon. I fully support this motto.
Awesome. I might write a self-help book based on this motto.
I thought, would Liz Lemon comment on how great this post is…she would, so I am. It’s great!
Thanks!!!
haha!! love this and love your blog….you put everything in such a perfect way.
I certainly try to!
Thanks!
Great post! Now I must ask….who is Liz Lemon? I suppose I could google it, but I think it’s really fun to watch people’s faces when you don’t know someone that almost anyone who hasn’t been living under a rock knows. Having said that…maybe you should video your response to this comment, otherwise, my lack of googling just seems lazy rather than fun-spirited
(But I’m good with lazy, too.)
My eyebrow is raised and I look incredulous.
Also, Liz Lemon is a character on the show 30 Rock.
Tina Fey…love her! Never watched 30 Rock though. I won’t even pretend to have a valid excuse as to why. Also, thanks for the description of your reaction…I caught myself trying to mimic it while I was reading your comment
I’m a huge Tina Fey fan as well!
You should definitely watch 30 Rock- it’s so hilarious and brilliant.
Also, I’m trying now trying to mimic you mimicking me. We might have just created a wormhole.
Interesting. I`ve never thought about what Liz Lemon might to do, but now I might
You should- I’ve found it really livens up your life.
“What’s a motto?” “Nothing. What’s a-motto with you?” -Simba and Timon, the Lion King.
Hahaha! That put a smile on my face!
I had to think for this one, because I have sadly never seen 30 Rock, my TV shows being mostly limited to shows where people wear capes and blow things up, or use personal quirks to solve murders, or fly around in spaceships. fortunately, Disney came to the rescue.
Having enjoyed your blog, I can understand why.
