Curvy Jones on: I Cheated.January 25th, 2010 @ 9:22 AM
…on my own blog. I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it. It was there, and I was tempted, and it was interesting. I’m sorry baby. It won’t happen again!
One of my Real Life Friends (as opposed to my friends hat only live inside the computer) runs a blog called Journey to Blissville and goes by the name of Tex. Cause… she lives in Texas. Clever, huh. We do so love Tex and her penchant for foods I cannot pronounce, her happy-go-lucky-and-excited-about-every-damn-thing nature… even if she s annoyingly cheerful. Tex created the phrases I repeat often, like “Damn Hondurans” (she’s Honduran, that’s not random), “living in Dick Cheney’s America” (it’s hard, according to Tex), and “Al Gore’s Internets” (which isn’t new but I didn’t start saying it till she did). Tex is one of the three bandits… KFlo and Tex and I run Houston ragged. I hear you laughing, blog. We went to a strip club once. It sucked, but we went.
AN-T-WAY. This blog isn’t even about Tex. It’s about her blogroll. She’s such a vibrant person that any friend (or blog) of Tex is a friend (or blog) I want to meet (or read). I sauntered down her blogroll one day and came to a GREAT blog called He Loves Me Not, the story of Sarah and her journey from broken and broken hearted to a major personal success story.
I’d been reading bits and pieces, here and there as new posts came up in my Google Reader, but I became more and more confused because I didn’t know the history behind some of the current posts. So this weekend, I took it alllllllllllll the way back. To 2005. And oh.
I felt creepy, really creepy but it was there, all out in the open. It was like reading a book, the story of her life. So many things that Sarah had to say about life and love and men and people, I felt the same! I wanted the same things! I felt the same way! I had the same fears and haven’t had nearly the relationship troubles that she’s gone through.
I often feel really really alone. I know that I’m not, but sometimes I’m really self centered and I really think that I am the only one that feels what I feel and knows what go through. It’s such a quiet, lonely place to be and sometimes I just need to know that other people have felt the same way. That in some parts and pieces of my life, I am actually normal. Imagine that. Me? NORMAL! WOO!
So, I wanted to post a thank you. Not sure if she’ll ever see it but I’m linking the hell out of this post, and I know she’s up on looking up stats and stuff, so I’ll just wave ‘hi’ and keep pushing. And thank her for opening up at least part of her life, even if the blog was more therepeutic than rambling entertainment. I don’t doubt that it has helped more people than you realize. You should be VERY proud of yourself. You’ve come a long, long way.
That’s it.
We’re revamping our website at work and our web guru dude insists on writing. He can’t write. But it’s easier to edit than to make it up, so in some ways I’m grateful. Anyway, I have a lot of writing to do, so I’m off!
Have a super day!

Welcome to the Diary of Curvy Jones. I like to think of myself as like Bridget Jones, only not as well put together. Join me on my semi-daily, sometimes funny, always sarcastic, lazy stroll through the adventures of single girl in the city. 
I know, I know! Sarah’s blog is EX-CELL-ENT, I can’t believe all that she has gone through. She’s a great writer to boot!
New blogroll will be on the new blog if I ever make the move lol.
Party like the blog star you are,
Tex
PS: I love that you called me “vibrant!”
Tex In The City´s last blog ..Turns Out I Am Not Crazy Part 2
Haha, and congrats on the new blog home, lady!
I saw! I see!
You know that quiet, lonely place you talk of? I am so there too, so it equally helps me to know that you identify as well.
I am soooo glad that you think my blog helps other people because I’m still waiting for the commentary where someone will write what a helpless freak I am. I think I’m afraid of that because I feel like that on most days.
PS – You and Tex leave THE BEST comments, so THANK YOU TOO!
Awesome. Strength in numbers and knowing you’re not alone, and all that good stuff. The internetz are great when used for good! Thank you so much for stopping my by Sarah Gushfest! Lol.
