Blogging on Myspace

I began blogging regularly on Myspace in September of 2007. I had been using the account I had since 2003, but decided it would be easier for me to have a separate profile for blogging and the people I'd meet while doing it.

It has certainly been an interesting endeavor. While blogging on Myspace will never make you a millionaire or bring you any recognition in the broader sense, the community is unlike anything I've seen on any other blogging site.

It is the only place where I can receive immediate feedback on something that I've written. While some bloggers note that when people comment on their blogs, the comment is more about them than the actual article, I enjoy reading about different experiences. I love it when something I've written sparks up a debate. It means that what I wrote was actually interesting!

I have also gotten my confidence as a writer back. I do not consider myself a great writer; one that will write the next great classic. All I have known throughout my life is that I have a unique perspective on life, and that is what we are all looking for in a distinguished writer. The structure of grammar and spelling is just part of it. What matters the most is feeling the writer's personality come through, and whether or not they can transport you into their minds, even if just for a little while.

Scientology.

After Tom Cruise lost his mind on Oprah's couch around two years ago, I haven't been able to tolerate him. He's managed to convince himself that he's this big Scientology God up on the Hollywood sign looking down on all us less fortunate folk whom are too poor to throw down the dough we need in order to become our own Scientology Gods.

And now other celebs are converting just so they can shmooze with the other A-list Scientologists. Maybe they have dinner parties on the weekends where they wear tinfoil hats and baste their naked malnourished bodies in Crisco and sacrifice virgins to the alter of L. Ron Hubbard. Oh, no wait, I'm sorry, sacrifice virgins to Suri Cruise, since her crazy-ass father managed to convince himself that his only biological daughter is the reincarnation of L. Ron Hubbard.

I cannot begin to convey how glad I am to have grown up on the East Coast.

10 Random Things

1). I really, really, really, really love the Real World/Road Rules Challenges. they are my top guilty pleasure of all time. Fuck Survivor and any other reality TV show (sans The Real World, but that is by far a distant second). It is always a show I MUST see. Nobody better bother me while I'm watching that show. I'm like a church lady watching my stories.

2). I have the BIGGEST crush on Jim Carrey. It started back in 6th grade. I saw "The Number 23" a few months ago. With all due respect to Jenny McCarthy, but DAYUM. The body he had was worth watching the movie (which wasn't the best, but I've seen worse).

3). Everyone needs to see the movie Party Monster, because Seth Green and Marilyn Manson are FUCKING BRILLIANT in it. If you know anything about the "shockumentary" Party Monster, and the tale behind Michael Alig and The Club Kids of the early 90's, you will see what great impersonations they do of James St. James and Christine. I didn't actually think that Macculley Culkin's portrayal of Michael Alig was as good as theirs, but when it comes to facial expressions, he is a very good actor.

4). I love junk food. I know it's bad for me, but it's processed goodness knows no bounds with me. I just make sure to do my best to not live off of it.

5). I also love pickles.

6). The type of man I usually find attractive is: dark hair, dark eyes, is about as tall or taller than I am, not too skinny but not overweight (although I'll take overweight over super-skeletal skinny), has tattoos, a few piercings, a really sexy mouth and great eyes.

While that is my ideal man, I will settle for someone with great eyes and nice lips; great eyes are a MUST.


7). I am a make-out slut. Yes, I'll be the first to admit it. I'm a total, complete kissing whore. Guys, girls, I love to kiss em all. Although kissing girls is more fun than kissing guys, I can say without a doubt that kissing guys turns me on MUCH more. Sorry ladies, but that's how I know I'm pretty much a hetero. That and the fact that while I find girls a bit more aesthetically pleasing when naked (more like appreciating a work of art I suppose you could say), the sight of a naked man can do wonders for my libido.

8). I love to dance to hip-hop and salsa, and if I too lessons, I'd be really good at it. Right now I'm aiight.

9). I am not one to really talk much on the phone. Never was. I'm missing the girl gene that makes us want to gab on the phone constantly. Thank you whomever invented text messaging. Maybe that's another reason I have so many more guy friends? It's a big possibility.

10). I like to play pool, even though I am an embarrassment to the sport.
