Answers for meimur:
96. I grew up in San Diego. Went across the border to Tijuana with some friends & we got into a bar brawl, everyone arrested. Every parent but mine bailed out their kid. I spent 28 days in the mexican hoosegow because my dad thought it would be a valuable lesson.

Let’s hear about #7!
Answers for Brian:
#7: When Jennifer was in Park City, Utah promoting “The Good Girl” at the Sundance Film Festival, I arrived on the scene in time to catch her and her entourage moving through the crowds. As the crowd surrounded her, I unknowingly got in the way of her egress. She forcefully put a hand on my chest and pushed me out of her way. I didn’t even know it was her until she had passed me.
where’s the naked chick?

#97 – i am thinking it is higher
#86 – that is really sad, but explains many of the other things
#85 – that is sweet
#76 – this is dangerous
#60 – reminds me of someone else I know
#59 – good
#49 – wow
#31 – after reading this that is not surprising

I see you are a dancer? Come on, I’m waiting for my dance!

Does that mean that since I came away from your site realizing you’re a neurotic, whiney tramp that I can ask you to constantly complain about your lot in life on command? Just do it somewhere else… i’m pretty sure our relationship has run its course, which is to say, i’m already tired of you… lovies… e
Man, learn some respect. You obviously have no idea how to speak to women and apparently are devoid of humour too.
It’s really unbeleiveable the extent you have gone to, to repeatdly insult me. Please don’t visit my site, you’d be doing me an honour. Folks like you aren’t welcome anyway.
People like you are exactly the reason why I like to keep my reader’s laughing instead of becoming miserable wretches like you.

PS: I read your post on your mother, I have got to say that it was an upsetting read. And I’m truly sorry that that had to happen to you and your family. Also, we have one opportunity to live. Make the most of it and leave people smiling, it will help you sleep a little better.
Oh and seyonara, I would really like this to be the last correspondence I ever have with you again.
Not that I expect you to come back, this is really for the benefit of anyone else who reads your drivel on my site.
Seriously, this dumbass CANNOT bet this stupid. Really. I don’t believe anyone is capable of this much ignorance.
First and foremost, you don’t even know me and yet you come to my blog and insult me? It’s bad enough that your ESL ass followed me here from another blog, but it is even worse that you believe you have the right to tell me what I can and cannot do on the internet. “Don’t Vist your site?” HAHAHAHA… like you have the mental bandwidth to be able to tell if I visit your blog. You dumbass, I can do anything I want, and I doubt your modicum of technical knowledge would be any the wiser.
As far as respect goes, it is earned… not given. And you’re an absolute tool if you think I’m going to respect someone who doesn’t even respect themselves! You’re a trollop, a tramp, a wasted piece of tissue! Now you can claim that I insulted you. Be gone you filthy mongrel.
