A Girl And Her Blog

girl, interviewed

The Girl — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 15:35:13 +0000

I’m excited about this post! Kori over at See Kori Rant sent me these interview questions to answer in a blog post. I like the idea of answering questions that are being posed at me, instead of just in general. So, after thinking about these for quick minute, I’m going to give it my best shot …

1. If you could kill someone and KNOW that there would be NO legal repercussions at all, would you, could you do it? And who would it be and why?

Once upon a time in my life, I think I would have said yes to this question. However, I will have to say without a doubt, that since becoming a mother that there is absolutely, unequivocally no possible way that I could, or would ever take someones life.

2. What one thing would you like to change about your life right this minute?

One thing, right this minute - I would be sitting under my own roof, and not my mothers. N and I would be living in our own home. Whether it be rented or owned, it wouldn’t matter to me - we would just not be here.

3. What is the best day you have ever had (no fair using kid’s births; we all know how great that is!)? And why?

This is really tough. Really, really tough. Because I want so badly to say “the day N was born”! And I’m not going to say my wedding day, ya know, since I’m sitting here counting down the days to my divorce lol…

So, I’m going to pick a day that has nothing to do with anyone but ME (and watch me not feel guilty about it!). My best day would have to have been April 11, 2008 when me and Steph (from The Dish & The Spoon) hopped a plane for Los Angeles. That day we had such uninhibited girly fun, flew the farthest we have ever flown, I rode in a cab for the first time, saw California for the first time, ate Sushi and drank Sake at a lovely restaurant in the Hollywood hills, checked into a hotel that neither of us could ever afford, and laughed ourselves stupid at the whole irony of it all! — I won that trip, and I never win anything. It was really, really amazing. (So were the next 2 days we spent there - the following night we went to the Hotel Cafe Tour with our V.I.P. All Access Passes and got to meet the likes of Cary Brothers, Jessie Baylin, William Fitzsimmons, Jim Bianco, Meiko, Ingrid Michaelson & Priscilla Ahn - It was heavenly!) I should relive this trip via a couple of blog posts, because I could seriously go on, and on, and on about it…

4. By the same token, what was the worst? (and no doing a City Slickers and saying “Same one.”)

(LOVE the City Slickers reference Kori - genius )

I have had a few “worst days”… so to be fair, I guess I’ll go with the 1st worst day ever. May 26, 2003 - I was pregnant with my 2nd child, a boy. Long story short, I had been having some bleeding/cramping, had been in the ER 6 times, and this day was the day that my son was born an angel. At home. In the toilet. I know, I’m trying not to be graphic, I just want it to be clear why it was one of my worst days ever. Honestly, I didn’t think I would survive that day, or the days that followed. I almost didn’t want to. The next worst day was August 20, 2007 when virtually the exact same thing happened to me again. These are the tragedies in my life that send me into downward spirals of depression, over and over again. And N is the only reason that I am ever able to come out of it.

5. Who is your favorite blogger and why?

I have several blogs that I check very regularly (see my blogroll to the right). I can think of at least 3 right now that are my top picks, and I like them all for very, very different reasons. They all speak to me on a different level (if that makes any sense). However, I suppose I will go with the one that I discovered first, the one that inspired me to start blogging, and that would be The Pioneer Woman. Although her blog has become very commercialized (in my opinion), I am still addicted to it. Why? I think I an enamored with the life she leads. Probably a bit jealous, too. But, I find hope in the silliest of things, and even though hers seems much more of a fairytale than I will ever have, it keeps my hope alive that maybe, someday… just maybe. Oh, and I love her photography section! Love, love, love it!

And I’m going to cheat and say, that next, in this order my favorites are: See Kori Rant, Attack of the Redneck Mommy, The Dish & The Spoon, and Quiet Life. (I don’t usually cheat, so cut me some slack! LoL)

So, there you go! My interview questions answered! If you want me to interview you, leave a comment and be sure to include “Interview Me!” (and make sure I have your email address) and I will send you some questions! Thanks for reading - Have a great Tuesday!

And I’ll leave you with some pictures, from California of course… because now it’s stuck in my mind (and I want to go back)…

Stephanie and Me on the steps of the Magic Castle Hotel in Hollywood, CA

Our spread at Yamashiro in Hollywood - top of the hill, with the most beautiful view of L.A. right outside of our window - it was amazing.

We fell in love with Cafe Audrey, about a block off of Hollywood Blvd. We ooh’d and aah’d at every square inch of this classy, cozy cafe. And as a special treat, we got to meet the owner who showed us photo albums of renovation of the cafe - very neat experience!

the bitch next door

The Girl — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 11:51:37 +0000

This is a letter I sent to the girl next door tonight. She had sent me a short apology via Myspace, which enraged me because she is such trifling bitch. This isn’t my first go around with her. We have never gotten along. And to add to that tension, she is also the ex-girlfriend of this guy, who I will call J (and for the record, they were NOT together at the time of my post lol). He is a friend of mine. Yeah, we had a rough patch, but it’s over, and it’s all good (despite my lingering, and sometimes obvious jealousy). And you know what? I value my friends. This girl had another thing coming when she thought she’d send me a cheap apology and expect me to be all “Oh, it’s okay. No problem! Let’s be friends!” — I’m removing names to protect the innocent This is my prime example of the “Use Your Words” lecture my son always gets…

****************************************************

T****,

Let me start out by saying that I don’t believe you. I don’t believe your apology is sincere. Nor do I believe that you have changed, as you indicated in the comment on G****’s page. I have watched you tell too many lies about people that I love dearly, and I’m much more inclined to believe that instead of changing and being apologetic for your childish actions, you are indeed still trying to pull one shenanigan after another.

If there were even an infinitesimal chance that you were apologetic or had changed, I believe it would START with you withdrawing any and all legal matters that you have started with J. Also, I am inclined to believe that someone who had genuinely changed would be the first to offer to give him his belongings back so that life could go on. So unless you’ve done those things, I don’t believe a word you say.

Your intention behind this email is evident. Also, it will never work. I know your sneaky tactics, T****. The simple fact of the matter is this: I always have been, and always will be J’s friend. I have no pity for you now, nor will I ever. The legality issues that you are having with J were brought on by you, and only you. You know as well as I do that it could be over with in no time, yet you continue to allow it to drag on.

Why can’t you just have a clean break? Why not break-up like normal people? He gets his things, you get yours, and everyone goes their separate ways? It was a matter of days before you had J*** living in your house, T****. Last time, you suckered poor C**** into falling for your trickery. You’ve always got a man readily available, yet you want to paint J to be the evil, heartless one. You should have a look in the mirror before you go casting stones.

I do hope that you have not violated any terms of the restraining order, because while I have not personally seen the paperwork, most seem to cover any contact with a third party.

And the very next time you want to accuse me of “wanting to fuck your man”, do your homework honey. Unless of course, you want to hear the sordid details? Because trust me, nothing would give me more pleasure than to deliver those details to you in glorious fashion…

You have done nothing but prove to everyone how profanely materialistic, greedy, obsessed, unstable and callous you are. And furthermore, your maneuvers to keep the things you have in life are nothing short of modern day prostitution. There is nothing respectful, or admirable about you. You have not, and you will not change. So having said all of that, let me end this by saying that I do NOT accept your apology, as I believe it to be of the utmost insincerity.

****************************************************

I wish she were smart enough to use her words, but the truth is all I got was a lame response from her… she can’t even keep it interesting for me. Damn the luck! Here is her response, unedited except to remove J’s name… I couldn’t make up this shit if I tried, lol…

****************************************************

s far as the legal matters J did that would youlike to see I was sarved first. if it gets droped he has to drop it. he did it not me. and yes I am done with all the crap.Yea I am sorry take it or not. like it or not I hove lots of friends.
