I’m fairly certain Anna Kendrick is becoming my favorite new Hollywood star. I’ve known this for a while, because I’m still maintaining she and Taylor Lautner’s abs were the only things that made any of the Twilight movies worth watching. I really do feel Anna stole the show as the snarky, mega, psycho bitch, Jessica, who was “friends” with Bella. Since Twilight, Anna’s also done Up in the Air, which was borderline amazing, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, 50/50, What to Expect When You’re Expecting, ParaNorman (some Pixar scenario), End of Watch, and most recently, Pitch Perfect. Kendrick has already done a great job showcasing her acting skills, and in any interview I’ve ever seen with her, she’s proven to be hilarious, charming, and classy. I’d already added Anna Kendrick to my “love” list, but once I started following her on Twitter, I was SOLD. This girl is a) fucking hilarious, and b) the most relatable person in the world. I think we might be secret BFFs. Anyway, aside from plotting to get her to meet me for a lunch or day drinking date where we decide to vacay together, I’m motioning for a creation of a Hallmark card line featuring Anna Kendrick’s tweets. She can perfectly capture what anyone is feeling, or at least what they want to say, for any situation in 140 characters or less.
A “Get well soon” card:
Sick. My antibiotics make my stomach hurt so I'm eating ice cream. It will NOT help, but I get to eat ice cream, so it's still a good plan.

A card to give your single friends when they want to plan a “tame” girls’ night instead of getting wasted, and you’d much prefer the bar scene:
Ugh – NEVER going to a Ryan Gosling movie in a theater again. Apparently masturbating in the back row is still considered "inappropriate"
— Anna Kendrick (@AnnaKendrick47) January 14, 2013
Your slutty friend’s ex-boyfriend leaked her nudes and you don’t know what to say because you think she’s an idiot, and you’d prefer to send a card:
Thought for the day: If I were going to take a naked picture of myself, I would at least clean my room first.
— Anna Kendrick (@AnnaKendrick47) December 10, 2012
Some annoying person just gave birth, and “congratulations” are in order:
Dear parents of screaming children on long flights, it's called Dimetapp. My parents gave it to me and I turned out fine. More or less.

“Happy Halloween” greeting card:
How is #WalkOfShame not trending the day after Halloween? I think *some* people aren't being honest this morning….
— Anna Kendrick (@AnnaKendrick47) November 1, 2012
And the inside of that card, naturally:
Sorry, make that #StrideOfPride
— Anna Kendrick (@AnnaKendrick47) November 1, 2012
When you’re trying to empathize with a younger relative who didn’t get into their top choice school:
Deep down, I secretly suspect I'd be in Hufflepuff. #SelfEsteemIssues
— Anna Kendrick (@AnnaKendrick47) October 22, 2012
If you’re abroad during recruitment and need to screen future grand-littles, you could send them this:
If we're going to be friends you should already know the answer to this question: "So, should we bake any of this… or just eat the dough?"
— Anna Kendrick (@AnnaKendrick47) October 15, 2012
Need an excuse for being so useless the day after the Super Bowl? Send this one out:
Beyonce = everything. I'm dying. I've died. I am dead. #IRegretNothing
— Anna Kendrick (@AnnaKendrick47) February 4, 2013
When you need to express how you spend 99% of your days with a hangover:
My roommate when I walked into the living room: "Just some Real Housewives and bean dip. It's gonna be a good Saturday bro." Love you bro.
— Anna Kendrick (@AnnaKendrick47) September 15, 2012
Or just when you need to tell someone, “I’m Thinking of You,” AKA I’m doing great, and you still suck:
Watching a documentary about Meth. "If you can bake cookies, you can make meth." Well great, now I want cookies and meth.
— Anna Kendrick (@AnnaKendrick47) January 28, 2013
To the people find your web presence “offensive:”
My favorite thing about Twitter is reading the reactions of the 60% of people who can't tell I'm kidding.
— Anna Kendrick (@AnnaKendrick47) September 12, 2012
Or, best of all, the card to tell your old friends you can’t deal with them for six months, and to explain to your parents you’ve opted to extend your semester abroad in Paris and you’d appreciate their (financial) support while you “find yourself,” because, allegedly, throwing temper tantrums has a limited time of social acceptability:
Nobody gets me.
— Anna Kendrick (@AnnaKendrick47) September 10, 2012
So anyway, follow her on Twitter, because she’s the third funniest girl ever. Hot Piece and I are obviously the first two.
