Brandy just went off for a few minutes. Hope she woke Jesse up while she was at it! I wonder where Jesse’s going today. He definitely doesn’t seem like the type to cook and entertain at his place.

As for us, we’re glad we don’t have any place to go since we’re not big fans of turkey and aren’t into social gatherings. Family gatherings have really come to make me hate social functions of just about any kind. People just seem so phony and they expect the same phoniness from you as well.

Instead, I’m making a pig of myself with brownies and gaining my weight back. grins wickedly as she licks her lips Yep, I’m two pounds overweight!

The doll sales continue to look good. Someone from Australia asked if we’d ship Nikita there. Sure, if they’d pay the outrageous $87 it’d take to ship a 33” doll there. Since she’s got 42 views and 10 watchers, I’m expecting a bit of a fight for her in the end. The other doll has 58 views and 7 watchers. I thought she’d go at first, but now I’m not sure. We’ll find out in 3 days and 13 hours.

Been getting in a lot of work, writing and cleaning. Speaking of writing, when I was skimming through my sordid past before trying to figure out what was missing from my online extended autobiography, I realized I forgot to mention Marlene.

I can’t swear to it, but I think I met Marlene at the first middle school I attended. I was only there for the 6th grade, so I was probably around 11. She was a strange one, alright. One night I was sleeping at her house and we were on the floor watching TV. She started to get a little too close too, hugging me and kissing me. While I knew her intentions weren’t sexual, it made me very comfortable just the same. For one, Marlene was a homely-looking kid. Secondly, we were just that – kids.

She also stayed with us at our summer cottage at the beach at one point and I stole a magazine that had a picture of my favorite singer at the time on the cover.

When Marlene went home she told her mother about it and together they decided to give me an ultimatum. That would be that I must tell my mother myself by a certain day that I stole it, or they would take the honor of telling her themselves.

I let them have the honor.

And then I myself took the honor of dumping Marlene for snitching on her pal and then blackmailing me.

Guess I really was a pretty smart kid at times. :)
