    I will never get a star. I'm sure of it. Even though I came up with a clever name and I'm here all day, six days out of seven. It saddens me to know I'll never reach the heights of stardom some of you have. BUT!! Don't any of you make the mistake of thinking I'm going to give up. I WILL NEVER CAPITULATE TO YOU POPULAR BISHES. NEVER. I will continue to hone my skills and even though I'll never attain superstar status, YOU WILL ALL CONTINUE TO BE SUBJECTED TO MY RAMBLING, NON-PARAGRAPHED COMMENTS AND THE FACT THAT I DON'T HAVE AN AVATAR BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO MAKE ONE. So there. All you lovely, intelligent bishes can, in the immortal words of BHB, SUCK IT. Love yall!!

    @SisterMaryMartha: Thanks, doll! I've had a rough couple of weeks, and feel like a zombie lately. I MEAN I'VE HAD A ROUGH COUPLE OF WEEKS.... I quit drinking 276 days ago, and am having a bad spell of the old urges and such.


    I'm pretty sure I won't stay a zombie, as Bill Pullman got better in Serpent and the Rainbow, right? And they buried him, so I'm way ahead of the game. I WILL SURVIVE TO EAT COOKIES ANOTHER DAY!!

    given that I have under 20 followers, it appears I'm doing a good job!

But I ain't too proud to beg or offer sexual favors to any of you mofos willing to blast me off into the 100s. I'm serious, like, computer b.j.'s are not out of the question. I'll leg hug all you bitches and make you apple pie afterwards, no shit. I've tried appealing to your sympathy, apathy, anger, and mutual love for all things Golden Girls and hate for all things Hasselbeck. And I've stalled, people. I've hit the wall right before my desired destination. Put me over the top, people. I can't do it without you. I'm the candidate for change...but I ain't afraid to spend dollars. I'll pay you for this election to the land of hundredaires. But I need your commitment people, don't take my favors than frenemy me next week.
