BlogMe
Ok, so, that slut that I will be rooming with at BlogHer tagged me for this BlogHer “get to know your fellow bloggers” Survey. I bite and here I go:
1. When did you start blogging and why? Tell me about your blog. What can I learn about you in under 5 minutes?
I started blogging on July 20, 2005. I was in Philadelphia watching my mother go through chemo for breast cancer and I needed an outlet. I had just turned 30 and thought about the fact that I had given up all my creativity and wonder so I could be an “adult”…whatever that means. So, I decided I needed to write more than once a year. This is how I keep myself blogging even when there is nothing to say. Honestly, it’s a short life, people and I couldn’t spend it how I was anymore.
My blog is an effing mess. Sincerely, I really hope people are entertained by it and I hope the mentally retarded people can relate but it’s really all about me. The good, the bad and the extremely looney.
Under 5 minutes? Um, that I am anxious, sweat a lot and stutter. AND have a tendency to curse like a trucker. Also, I love chocolate, cute boys and wish I still smoked even though it makes me ill. 9 times out of 10 I’m probably drunk or popping pills.
2. Who do you read everyday, rain or shine?
The Art Of Getting By- Janet is from Jersey(which was my second home growing up) and loves TV almost as much as I do(actually she may surpass me). We both have a problem and admit it freely. I love her for this.
Blogography- Who doesn’t like a man who is hot, talented(um, hi, he made himself into a cartoon) and hilarious? Certainly not me. I loves me some Dave. Daily, I need to read him bitch about small children and bad internet. Without it, my day is just not complete.
Jane Loves Tarzan- Jane was one of my first bloggie friends. Jane is smart, funny and has a pet pig. Yes, a pig, and it is adorable! She has been through some rough stuff but is still around to teach us all her life lessons. She is tough and proud and I just love her.
Kentucky Girl-Kentucky lives in California and hates it as much as I do. I can relate to her on almost every issue. I have to take exception to her love of the mouse though. I shudder at even a glimpse of the mouse…
Mrs Hell On Heels- Mrs HOH was my second bloggie friend. I rented from her on Blog Explosion and we have been keeping up on each other since then. We have our lovely depression issues in common, among some other things. I love to keep up on what is going on in her world and she, like Jane, have taught me a thing or two. Love ya Mrs HOH!
So a Blonde Walks Into a Blog- Dawn is hysterical and so much fun to read. I love her because she is so opinionated but not judgmental. She is into so many things that I am that I can’t wait to meet her in real life!
Tiny Voices In My Head- Dawn is a small town girl with big city snark. I relate to her so much and I just dig her. She has this way of telling her stories that you can’t help falling off your chair in laughter.
Stumbling Through Life With Grace- OMG, 3T. I love 3T. 3T and I have like minds. We have strangely gone through some of the same things at the same time. Our politics, religion and the way we see the world is almost completely in sync. I am going to meet her in person in Nov or Dec when Jason and I go cross country and I can not wait!!!!
Taste The World- Sure I call Chase a whore, a slutbanger, loosey goosey etc. The truth is I think the world of her. She is funny as hell and as she said we were definitely separated at birth. It doesn’t change the fact that she is a crack lovin prostitute with a mouth like a sailor…but nothing will change that, I’m afraid.
3. What don’t you write about? What do you consider a no-no in your book?
My sex life and politics. Frankly, the first one you don’t want to hear about and the second, I don’t want to hear about.
4. How do you feel about meeting bloggers in real life? Are you nervous? Will you have great expectations?
Ok, I have to admit I didn’t have online friends before I started this blog. I always thought it was kind of weird to make friends online. Like somehow the friendships weren’t real. They are though. Really. There are real people at the end of those wires.
Although, I still fully expect that Chase will have 3 eyes and a tail.
5. So, soon we’re going to meet each other at BlogHer. Important question : how do you party?
I drink Belvedere and Cranberry. I will probably ask you for a cigarette. DO NOT TELL ME I CAN NOT HAVE ONE BECAUSE I QUIT. You will not escape without blood being drawn if you deny me my drunken cigarette.
Webmiztris Says:
thanks for the love, love! I’m so jealous….I want to meet you guys too!
Janet Says:
Like Ive said before, I really need to attend a BlogHer meetup! Maybe in 07?
And thanks for making me a must read. I’m flattered:)
Chase Says:
I’m quite glad you drunken smoke, because even after 3 years of being a quitter, I’ll still light up once I have a buzzzz. Woot!
And…you have something against 3 eyes, bitch?
ONE WEEK TO GOOOOOO!

Great meme! Take lots of photos, K Deb?!
Great Meme. And thank you for making me one of your Rain or Shine blogs. 
I’m excited to get the chance to meet you and Jason too!
I know you’re going to have a blast Deb! The rest of us definitely want to live a little vicariously thru you.
So have fun, be safe, and take lots of photos!

Great meme and rain or shine list. You reminded me of a few that I forgot to blogroll and catch up on recently!

Karl Says:
LOL, I quit, too…hope I don’t find anyone to give me a drunken cigarette. Just don’t smell like smokes on our drive to SF on Sunday. I may have to kick you to the curb. Unless you share your smokes.
jane Says:
You are so sweet, even with a drunken ciggy in your mouth! You guys hate California? You HATE California?? Well, let me tell you THIS:
I FUCKING HATEEEEEEEE CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!!
