I'm A Bad, Bad Girl

I received my very first mean comment to a message I posted! I should have kept it to memorialize it. It's almost a blog rite of passage, I reckon, especially if you want to write anything sarcastically, satirically or feel like making fun of something. In essence, "anonymous", defending Arkansas, mind you, said, "there are good and bad people everywhere and good Californians and bad Californians, and essentially, I am a BAD CALIFORNIAN." OH, I am a Bad, Bad Girl.

Not to belabor the subject, but I did not grow up a California girl. I grew up in a very small town in rural Ohio. I am a small town girl through and through. First, I think if people lack a sense of humor then they may want to quite possibly skip my blog and many others and go back to reading the APC mindless drivel. Second, I think if we all didn't approach things with a bit of a sense of humor and sarcasm then life would be very depressing, wouldn't it?

Blogging is so much more than that particular subject on that day...sure...it is about the subject I pick, that one was about Arkansas, and how I would never want to live there, and how small towns stink, but as I continue to write about whatever happened I let my own stuff go inside my head.....

it's about how I grew up in a small town and never would raise my children there because the people are very fake and phony even though they pretend to be very friendly on the outside, how culturally they are very oblivious and how God forbid, if a black man enters your neighborhood... your neighbors think oh no..what the hell is HE doing here in our area? And I'm glad I got blessed with parents that didn't tolerate that from our neighbors. I never want any of my children to disrespect anyone and they wouldn't learn that in a small town. It was about how I'm glad I got out of there and traveled, and learned a language and learned about the world....had kids...am where I am right now...am glad I have a place to write really stupid sarcastic things because the kids drive me up the wall sometimes and you know what, on top of that, this adoption paperwork is driving me mad, too. The homestudy agency has not come through for me on the homestudy, and nobody told me that dealing with a homestudy agency was going to be such a bitch. When I was researching, all I thought was important was the agency. So, now I have a great adoption agency, and I'm held up by a shitty homestudy agency. I was supposed to be DTC by Christmas...or at least that was my timeframe, and that isn't going to be the case by a long shot. So, when you think my blog is about one thing...it's really a gigantic vent about a lot of BS in my life that you really don't want to hear because it would be really dull...so in just manifests itself in its own quirky way.

So, come on, be gentle. Or at least leave your name anonymous, so I can make fun of you more.

I shouldn't have erased it. But maybe I'll track down that person's blog/website since I have that capability and we can all leave anonymous messages.

Oh, why does everyone erase the nasty comments before I can read them?? I wouldn't worry about it too much...you could say the sky is blue and find someone to argue with you...what is up with your homestudy agency? Ours was great, that is too bad...

I have seen the website...and all i can say is that-these are personal blogs, if you don't like what is written then move on to the next one. I have to laugh sometimes at how personally people take things that they choose to read. AND-the fact that someone took the time to write about it on their blog---well-my goodness, you're a controversy now!

Sean is from a little city in Ohio too-wait a minute-let me ask him if he "knew" of any jens before I tell you which city! ;)

Thank goodness making fun of in-laws is still considered fun!

I always keep in mind it's YOUR blog and YOUR ideas.

Johnny's the man! He's absolutely right.

Screw "anonymous". I am curious about their website though! Hint, hint...send me the link.

WTF???? I received a few nasty comments a while ago telling me I was a horrible person, not fit to parent, etc. My "anonymous" used a fake name to post. She thought she was being clever but I have an IP address and know who she is. Funny, her blog is all love and sunshine. I see her post stuff on there and on forums and I just crack up at what a hypocrite she is.
I would rather be REAL like you are than fake like some bloggers are.
