Hello people,

A few days ago I decided to write the story of my life and post it in my blogs. So that's what I did, only it's not exactly the story of my life. It's definitely about my life but there is also a great deal of fabrication and lies in there as well. The longer or better that you've known me, the more fabrications you'll be able to pick out and, if you're into a certain way of thinking, you'll be able to tell how I've disguised the truth in certain situations.


I didn't write my entire life story all at once, I'm doing it in installments. The first two installments are up already for those who would like to take a look. Initially, I wanted to post these on the .Org but I was afraid that I would be breaking some rule and my thread would get redirected to hell and I would get banned. So instead I'll give you the links to my myspace blog and my livejournal blog. Livejournal is way better than myspace!

Anyway, the complete title is 'The Story of My Life or How I was Raised by a Pack of Dogs. I hope you all like it.

I will check this out baby!

thanks!

Do I play a prominent role in it?

Cause if not I don't want to waste my time...

perhaps...i only have two installments thus far

and nobody's getting their real name used...

JasmineFire said:

You *do* know my name isn't 2the9s? So if you wanted to use that that would okay.

OMG! That June 9th entry is hysterical!!

"smoke curled out of her nose"!

OMG I just read the June 8th entry!

Jess, you gotta publish these!

They are incredible!!

2the9s said:

isn't today your birthday?


and thank you!

JasmineFire said:

LMAO!

2the9s said:

really? that's so flattering!

well, i am saving them and when I'm finished I want to put them together into some sort of book form.

JasmineFire said:

You NEED to do that!

Do you have more?

2the9s said:

no. i'm writing them as they come to me. i've been doing tons of studying lately and am in the middle of exams. for some reason that's always when i get the urge to do things like this. so more will come in the next week.

Damn, you're deadpan!

Only two entries and I'm a huge fan already. Your writing style reminds me of David Sedaris, whom I adore.

I have bookmarked your livejournal page and I know of many others that will get a kick out of it. Keep it up! It's hilarious.

okay, so i looked at the entries, and I'm thinking. Oooo... long blocks of texts. Never mind. Then I read the bits that that 9s guy quoted, and I've changed my mind. I'll be back in a few....

in light of recent publishing developments, the question must be asked... did you really write this? and, unfortunately, you'll need to disclose how much, and which parts, are true. it's the only way you'll get booked on Oprah.



seriously... this is really fun! like 9s said... the deadpan is great. i see a great little tome illustrated with pencil drawings of you and the dogs and the fire breathing and the foghorn, etc., etc.

keep going!!!!!

wait, you aren't one of 2the9s alteregos are you? hmmm????

I have met Jas, and I am here to tell you that when I shook a can of pennies in her ear she did indeed cringe.

So I'm thinking that much is true.

2the9s said:

uh-hmm. "she" is u and u is "she", just as I suspected.

Good stuff!! Can't wait for more!

thank you all of the great feedback!

and thank you very much, 2the9s for posting little exerpts for everybody to read.

I'm glad you all like it. I was a little hesitant to post it at all because after I wrote the first section, I thought it was crap. I thought everyone would hate it. I'm glad that's not true.


I'm going to try and post part III tonight because I have another story kicking around in my head that needs to get out if I can ever stop studying! arg!

madartista said:

you know, if i ever get this off the ground and published i would like to have some illustrations to go along with it. Not a picture on every page like a children's book but perhaps one in the beginning of every chapter.

And if I did do that i would really love it if dansa could do the illustrations. i like her style and, from reading her blogs and comments, i think she'd bring the right sense of humor to it. Anyways, that's a long way off from now.

The link in your sig doesn't work.

~~shakes a can of pennies~~

2the9s said:

it should work now. part three isn't up yet.

part three is ready!

JasmineFire said:

Cool!

I linked to you!

i like this one:

I held a variety of jobs when I was in New York City because I had a bad habit of getting fired.

i'm glad you guys are reading it!

I do feel like I should explain that this is all very raw material, which is why it is out of order and ends abruptly. I haven't polished any of it, I just wanted to get it out of my system and see how people react to it.
