DARHLINKS!

I spruced up my piece on Bama, bling, and boomers, and now it's on HuffPo. You should click it.

Maybe one day I can be a big star like Tino here:

Mmmm.. this dude loves nascent writing careers

Let's not even acknowledge that I haven't blogged since the Carter administration. Moving on.

Our Blogging Forefathers

I.Have you guys read Emily Gould's NYT Mag piece about ejaculating personal psycho-dramas all over the interwebs?
It was really good. I suggest all female bloggers who have pounded out sad little diatribes about heart ache with their dampened, dainty fingers read it. Also if you've ever had a crush on a scruffy, eloquent jewish boy with a penchant for angry backlashes (ahem) you'll enjoy it too.

II. Do you get offended when close friends don't read your blog? And do you get embarrassed yet rightly indignant  when you say things aloud like "obviously, you don't read my blog, i posted about my late term abortion last week, so I don't even need need to re-tell you this story. Google it." My answers are yes and yes. People should read what I write, if you the balls to give me shit for not returning your phone call about your fucking GRE scores you can damn well read about my thoughts on Obama and menstruation. Jeez-us.

III. There's a stigma attached to blogging still, but its different than it used tobe right? It was originally rooted in theidea that blogging was for dorks. Fat, wiccan/virgin dudes who would blog in between creeping out young girls at the mall and their live action roll playing tournaments. Now that every health insurer, bank, and the Department of Defense has a blog, doesn't it feel somewhat ordinary to say that you 'blog?'  Is twittering hipper than blogging? In a space as vast as the internet is there such a thing as market saturation?

IV. Do you miss me? I'm nothing without you. I swear I'll change. Give me one more chance.

Jesus christ maybe i just need a fucking live journal.

DC. Culture. Rag.

Hi friend, ex-lover, family member, mentor, bitter rival:

Its called:
Hey, Be Us!
www.heybeus.com

It's a scrappy, foul-mouthed, feminine take on politics, culture, fashion, and DC.

The blog is me and an other fantastic writer --we always want contributers-- named Tess.
 We are pithy. We are smart. We are pretty. We want you to read us.

I will not be this neglecting blog. This blog is like my first child --the one that survived the abortion.
