hmmm, titles?
I’m a big fan of
I Will Get Drunk and Hit On Your Boyfriend
Did You Get My Text: The Almie Rose Story
What Are You Guys Doing Later?: The Almie Rose Story (okay I know I just added that bit)
I’m Just Sitting Here, Awkwardly: The Almie Rose Story
I just think adding “The Almie Rose Story” to anything would make a great title
Your Biggest Fan,
Eryca
AWW ERYCA! You guys, seriously. Awww. Thank you.
Did You Get My Text: The Almie Rose Story
THAT ONE YES LOVE IT YES YES YES.
Also. I want to hate you for this book deal you have, but I just like you too much. Fucking a.
I wanna hate you for how many comments you get on your blog. And for how many twitter followers you have. And for how smart you are. And…wait I should stop.
xoxoxoxoxoxo
Ew. Why do all your replies have that blue line next to it? That should be pink or red or black.
WHO IS YOUR WEB DESIGNER?
TOTAL HACK.
I have reason to believe that my web designer is actually a stale loaf of bread with a pair of googly eyes attached. But I can’t prove it.
Whoever your web designer is she/he/googlyeyes changed it so your comments look better. Finally. I really hope you didn’t PAY for this design…
Also, you have a book deal, you’re pretty, you’re funny AND you have a boyfriend? Bitch.
Can you combine these, somehow?:
I’m Just Sitting Here, Awkwardly
Ugh: Look At This Bitch’s Facebook Status
Because the double barrelled LOLs I got from reading them in that order was just great.
What Are You Guys Doing Later? is also a good one
I’m also partial to:
I’m Just Sitting Here, Awkwardly: The Almie Rose Story
or I really did like the “Sitting Awkwardly On the Couch” title from the boyfriend stories…. which, you know, is essentially the same thing.
I think this post should constitute a chapter in its own right. But I echo the love for “Did You Get My Text.”

I Crowd-Sourced This Title on My Blog
?
Is the book about dating in Los Angeles? I like the witty titles but feel the explanatory subtitle has its merits, marketing-wise. Good luck Almie Rose! Look forward to reading (purchasing) the book!
“I Was Drinking When I Wrote This”
How can you top that??
Apocalypstick: Lost Notebooks Full of My First Name Followed By Your Boyfriend’s Last Name, With Hearts
Apocalypstick: How I Learned to Let Go of Fear and Love Fisting Your Mom
This Could Get Ugly Faster Than Kelly Osbourne on a Hot Day
Sorry, someone needs to take the Internet away from me when I’ve been drinking.
“Sorry, someone needs to take the Internet away from me when I’ve been drinking.”
THERE’S A TITLE RIGHT THERE
I Will Get Drunk And Hit On Your Boyfriend! I love it!
This is seriously hilarious! I love so many that i want to steal them for my titles of my book that will probably never be published
this is. so. fucking. hilarious. i love you.
I’m definitely partial to I’m Just Sitting Here, Awkwardly with the subtitle Almie Rose’s Guide on How Not To Date In Los Angeles. But is the book wholly about dating? Or your life in general, too? Either way, I’m going to buy it.
Another idea is to just title at Apockalyptick and have the whole cover be strewn with your possible titles.
I’m Just Sitting Here, Awkwardly
There’s just something about that one that stands out!
And It Was The Most I’d Ever Pooped: The Almie Rose Story
AWESOME
Almie, lol and LOL have become net-punctuation, but you, you really do make me laugh out loud. The next time I’m in LA, I’d like to shower you with gifts and walk in front of you throwing scented flower pedals on the ground to cushion your walk. Actually, I’d like to photograph that so maybe your boyfriend can be in servitude? Wait. In order for you to have a boyfriend, don’t they have to live in some other state or country? No problem, I have a remote for the camera. 🙂
I’m a lot more excited about this book than I probably should be since I’m just some random person who stumbled upon your blog and have become obsessed with it.
All the titles are too good. You should just take the top 10 and combine them cleverly with punctuation. It could work…
i think you should call it “Titles are Apparently Important.”
Most of these sound like good chapter titles, to be honest, but none of them ring out as a book title other than my aforementioned suggestion.
Just my $0.02.

Apocalypstick: Nonfiction from Someone Non Famous
Did you get my text?: The Almie Rose Story

What are you guys doing later?
Nothing beats: Apocalypstick: By Bret Easton Ellis
it will be a big seller….
Love your blog Almie Rose
From Toronto
WOW. I think you need to write a book for each and every title, they are all just TOO good.
These are amazing. My personal favs: “I Don’t Even Know” and “I Was Drinking When I Wrote This”
Also, random question:
Did you design your blog layout or did someone else do it? I can’t do this web design thing for shit.
This fabulous team did my layout: http://www.shatterboxx.com/
Can’t recommend them enough!
receiving a copy of your book might just be the best present I ever get! so hurry up and write it.
I like the ‘poop’ title.
suggestion:
NO THIS IS NOT ON CAPS LOCK I AM PUSHING SHIFT THE WHOLE TIME
glad you appreciate the capitals as much as i do!
I would agree that the best title is:
Sitting awkwardly on the couch: the Almie Rose story.
Runner-ups: Did You Get My Text and I Will Get Drunk and Hit On Your Boyfriend. It must include either “the Almie Rose story” or “Apocalypstick” in the title, for sure.
Will it be done by 2011? It will be at the top of my Xmas list. If all 500 of your readers buy one copy, then you will be a gazillionaire and hopefully give me a shout out on Good Morning America.
