Cheeky, wacky and, at times, downright silly, this debut collection of personal essays (and companion pieces) highlights some of (mis)adventures of the curious and painfully observant author, Terryn Sundy. From receiving an impromptu peepshow while standing on a sidewalk in London to witnessing an act of self-gratification while on a 1st date to receiving a glam-rock groupie makeover and getting propositioned by the singer of a well-known hair-metal band, she re-tells these stories with a level of detail and humor that makes the readers wish they were there to experience the zaniness first-hand. As companion pieces and extra insight into her brain, she also includes "How-To" guides on how to avoid some sticky situations in the future, plus lists of some things that she loves (and hates). You're Not A Ninja, And No...You Can't Spend The Night is like reading the diary of your witty, adventurous, potty-mouthed, boy-crazy best friend who never fully grew up.

Smart. Funny. Fearless."It's pretty safe to say that Spy was the most influential magazine of the 1980s. It might have remade New York's cultural landscape; it definitely changed the whole tone of magazine journalism. It was cruel, brilliant, beautifully written and perfectly designed, and feared by all. There's no magazine I know of that's so continually referenced, held up as a benchmark, and whose demise is so lamented" --Dave Eggers. "It's a piece of garbage" --Donald Trump.
