No, I’m not talking about my boobs… promises! I would, but I don’t have any worthy of talking about… :)
Throughout the past ohhh month or so, since end of July/early August, I’ve had the incredible pleasure of getting to know some incredible girls through the wonderful 140 character limit of twitter.
They’ve really shown me how meeting people online can turn into something fabulous… although, to be honest, I’ve already known that for a while and this is just an added bonus. I feel like I’ve known these girls for ever, literally… I feel like they’ve been part of my life since day one and we’re only just chatting online because we all are so far apart from one another; which totally sucks, to tell the truth!
I’m in Wisconsin, one is in Minnesota (and she’s only 45 minutes away from my house! Squee!!), one is from Virginia, well two of them from Virginia, one from South Carolina and one from Nebraska! The Nebraska one is only about 6 hours away, which is totally doable if I wanted to meet up with her since last November 08 I drove 9.5/10 hours one way to visit my lovely Stacy in Southern Illinois!
To… mah girlz!
@pacigraveyard: Darling darling, where to start? Well, first things first, I know you’ve been going through some hard times lately and I know some days it’s very hard to wake up and put one foot in front of the other; but… you do it, and you do it in a way that I cannot even imagine, you stay focused, proud and you do what is right for your and LMC. You have SO much going for you, even though it feels like you’ve lost everything you’ve ever known… you haven’t, and I know you’ll see that some day. I’m so glad I took the chance and started following you after seeing you and @poobou talking; you’ve come to be one of my great great friends that I cannot even explain; the online friendships that form are from a comfort level that not everyone gets. It’s such an amazing feeling knowing that I can log on to my computer, or look at my phone or tweetdeck or my inbox and see a message from one of you, just checking in on me or telling me you’ve missed me all day, etc… I know sometimes I don’t reciprocate, but I hope you know how much of a sweetheart you are and how much you’ve come to be such an amazing friend, and how I cannot wait to meet you in February, come hell or high water, I’m coming to VA! :) Oh, and stay strong, you’re awesome, he doesn’t deserve you, and you have a beautimus adorable little bean at home that LOVES HER MOMMA!!! Like we do online, you know… cause we’re all kindsa ”weird” stalkerish kind of, you know… and Heeeeeeeheehee, I did NOT forget his last name. Oh no, no I didn’t. xoxoxoxoxoxo Love you girl!!
@raychelceleste: Oh bah-hum-bug, miss can’t make up your mind on your middle/last names and partner in crime with some stalkerishness… where do I start? Just to say that I LOVE YOU is enough, really… I mean, you know… you’re kind of weird and all, and you’re kind of a creepster, but I still… LOVE.YOU. Whole bunches… like, “THISSSSSSSSSSSSS” much except not more than A or the other girls, because I love all of you equally, for reals. Well, except I don’t love you when you keep me up late at night because you and A, and S and J and stuff are so damn addicting. Either that or I need some serious self control… and we all know how much of that I DON’T HAVE. But really, in all seriousness… you? are awesome, and I? am lucky…wait wait wait, scratch that… I’m going to go out on a limb and say that, ME, A, Sarah, AND Jo are ALL amazingly lucky to have you beesh in our lives. It makes me all fluttery inside when you, Sarah, Amber and Jo (enough with the initials, gah!) send me @’s wondering where oh where @snarkykisses has gone… aw, I feel the love… I feel it! All mushy inside! And, I’m totally game for VA in Feb, even if you have to hitch hike, you’ll be there. Except, well, just don’t get in the vehicle with a creepster… I want you to make it there safe and sound, and not end up in California with a creeper and then in Mexico and then, uh, yeah… maybe scratch that idear. Sorry, got sidetracked… either way, love you and I cannot wait to meet you either, even though it’s far far away it seems; well, unless you wanted to come up to sconny and have some DQ and CHEESE and meet Jo with me? I’m totally game for that. Oh, and fly up to VA and pick up Amber too, mmkay? Sarah will find her way up here, she’s not far away, either – squee, you and Amber totally need to move to the midwest… that’s where all the cool cats live, dood. OMGERSH, you weirdo! It’s GOSH! That is all, kthxbai. xoxoxoxo
@scunning: My darling darling Sarah, oh how I love thee… no really, I do. But not more than Raychel or Amber or Jo because I don’t feel like causing a fight between us 5, it’s just a big old equality group hug’n and lov’n and I’m SO lucky to have you 5 in mah lifez! Srsly. And, I’m totally going to meet you sometime soon, we are ONLY 6 hours away! That is SO not ANY excuse! And, then? Then when you decide to come to BlogHer next year (because by the way, you’re coming whether you like it or not as are the other girls, and you cannot use the excuse that you won’t know anyone because I totally felt that way and omg, that is so not true), we’re going to road trip and meet in the middle or I’ll fly down to see you and then we’ll have Chevrolet deliver a car to your house, and we’ll drive from Nebraska to NYC with a free car, free gas, and you know, that’d be awesome, right? Except, who’s going to drive into NYC? Skeery. Wow, got sidetracked, but really… they DO do that, it’s a way for Chevrolet to show their cars and get great reviews on them! So, uh ATTENTION GENERAL MOTORS, AKA CHEVROLET (link was from last year/BlogHer 09) and ANY OTHER PEOPLES OR CAR COMPANIES THAT LOAN A BRAND NEW CAR TO BLOGGERS FOR GOING TO BLOGHER, PICK ME! Srsly, CONTACT ME! I’m a GOOD DRIVER! AND, I will do a GREAT REVIEW!! For real, Email ME! Kthxbai! Back to you Sarah, sheesh, bad friend I am… but really, I love you and you are going through some tough stuff too right now, but know that what you’re fighting for is so worth it and it has such a future ahead of it, and so much to lose from behind… and you are doing everything in your power to make this work, and really? That’s all that matters. YOU are showing how much it all means to YOU, and now hopefully he will see that too… and without a doubt, I know he will… because quite frankly, he’d be lost without you… I know I would too, and I’ve only known you for a month or so… so, all joking aside, I DO love you! And you ARE going to BlogHer next year, you so deserve it! heehee, xoxoxoxoxo.
@minnesotajoz: OMG, my friend and neighbor from only 45 minutes away!! I cannot even tell you my excitement of uh, you know… FINDING OUT you were SO CLOSE TO ME!! We totally have to meet someday, maybe even this weekend if I come see you at the Liz Logelin 5k! I’ll even push you around in your wheelchair; that ankle of yours will NOT win!! Dammit! I’ve onlygotten to know you over the past few weeks, but I cannot tell you, as well as the other girls, how much joy it’s been knowing I have you 5 to talk to every day! You make my days so much better, and I feel so much friendship and bond between us online, through are sweet sweet little 140 character messages! Totally not trying to sound like Creeper McCreeperson there but, really… you? are awesome! I totally think you and I need to meet, and or, you and I need to fly down to Omaha for Sarah, or she needs to fly up to us and then we can totally drive our sweet sweet buns in a NEW VEHICLE thanks to GM/Chevrolet for LOANING a new vehicle to us, to REVIEW! And, drive to New York City! Sorry Raychel, you’ll have to fly there, well… unless you want to fly up to MN and then drive with us, you know, cause that’s totally okay. Anyways, I’m so glad I’ve been able to get to know you more, and I love the fact even more so that when I’m in Red Wing, you’re only like 30 minutes away!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo Love to you girly!
@irishsamom: Uhm, girl? YOU!TOTALLY!NEED!TO!GET!BACK!ONLINE!MORE! because A) we miss you and B) Amber needs to quit hogging you! ;) Oh oh just kidding Amber, I know you’re not hogging her. Really though, I know you’re busy with life and the things going on right now, which by the way, I wanted to tell you how proud of you I am that you did what you did last night with your inlaws and that takes a LOT of courage to do, but you DID it and you DID IT for your own well being, and because you do not deserve to be treated in the way they treated you, and this is all just part of the journey of making you and your kiddos your top priority; because obviously someone else doesn’t think that way. You are a strong lady and you have shown many people how it can be done, and how you should fight for what you deserve, and I truly appreciate all of your words of encouragement for some of the things I’ve told you over the past few weeks; you give me a sense of peace and thought and courage to stand up for myself, and see through the cracks; unlike before. I know this is cryptic to some of you who read it, but either way… I truly thank you, you’re an amazing friend and momma and I’m so incredibly lucky to have gotten to know you more, and I can’t wait to chat more with you… if your kids would quite taking you away, I mean, SHEESH! HELLO! TWITTER GIRLS NEED YOU! Duh, don’t they know that? Heehee, kidding… Love! xoxoxoxoxo We’ll hunt you down and find you, and when they go to bed and when you are free, come say hi, I miss you! And I’ll do the same, since Lord knows I’m bad at doing that sometimes! xoxoxox Love to you darling! You’re a strong lady, and you give me courage.
…and that my friends concludes the crazy creepy stalkerish messages to my favorite girls; except everyone is my favorite, really… I just felt inclined to do this to the 5 that I talk to the most because they’re kind of amazing, and kind of you know, like “THIS” to me… and you should totally go add them, @pacigraveyard @scunning @raychelceleste @minnesotajoz @irishsamom on twitter right now, oh and ME TOO @snarkykisses… duh, don’t forget THEE most IMPORTANT one of ALL! /off soapbox now
But really, I cannot thank all of you enough, the ones I’ve met online, had the chance of meeting in person at BlogHer 2009, and all sorts of other awesomeness… you all complete me, no really… you do… I’m THAT much of a creepster, promises! Watch out!
I’m not a creepster in a bad way though, swear. Pinky Swear.
Psst, go register for BlogHer 2010 when you can afford to! We can travel together and stay together and…yes, do it! Pretty please!
