Your Girlfriend is Ugly

You know you love me more than your luggage!

Well now I can honestly say that people read my blog. I had 296 hits on my fart blog. Before that the most I ever had was 294 on my MOH blog. Before that I had a random spike when I posted a blog about my water intake. Not every exciting and I think I even removed it.

Anyway the point of this is to not toot my own horn *toooooooooooooooot* but rather to urge you to be my friend. I need more friends. Well...actually that's not entirely true. I don't need more friends. I have plenty of them in my life. We all know what I'd like that it involves someone who is 6'8'', with big hands, speaks English makes over 100K and can toss me around.

But umm...what I really am referring to is being my friend on My pace.

If you're a fan of Yourgirlfriendisugly.com then you should be my friend on Myspace! Yeah yeah I know Myspace isn't cool any more and everyone does Facebook but like honestly, Facebook stresses me out and gives me heart burn and Myspace is way more user friendly! I post bulletins and blogs when I blog so you're always updated!

Click here to be directed to the Myspace page and add me! And have your friends add me! And your friends friends! And your mom! And your mom's mom's poodle's mom!

Some fan mail!

Thank you for your awkwardness!!!!!!!  I can see why other people would rather hear my fucked up stories as opposed to my everything turned out great stories.  You are easily in the top one percent of funny in the world.  You have saved my workplace of surliness for three months!  If I see you at Applebee's, I owe you many drinks.  I know the cansa researcher from your encounter!  There are three of those charity sneaker pictures of him under the large screen at the bar.  One refers to your blog!  That written account of your dealings with him is Pulitzer worthy.  Keep making us laugh!!!!

Stay safe,

Bob

Bob made my day on Friday.

*sigh* I need  my own mini series.

Off to EXTREME bingo with HLP and Brennon!!!

You like me! You really like me!

I mean...I think I'm funny. My mom and dad think I'm funny and LK and Shana always laugh when I simply blink my eye lids so I know that those closest to me find me insanely riotous.

There was one hairy incident when a dude I went on the date with straight up told me that he didn't think I was funny. But what did he know? I mean he had a goatee. *psha*

It's always nice to be told that people think you're funny and that they like you and enjoy your anecdotes and that they're laughing with you not at you. Plus, I'm my favorite subject. Were there a "Lisa Gradie" major in college, I'da nailed it! (I'da also nailed "Jell-O shot making 101 but that's neither here nor there.)

So imagine my elation when I receive not one but TWO emails yesterday from people telling me how much they enjoyed my blog!

The first one was from a person I'd never met. Subject line of the email: Your blog cracks me up! (ha! totes!...that's me saying that not the person emailing..)

Hi there,

My name is Dana and I am good friend of your cousin Mark. He and his wife, Wendy, introduced me to your blog this past Springtime. I check it out when I can and it totally cracks me up. Although we have never met, I can hear your voice in my head and your columns/articles bring a smile to my face.

I just thought I would reach out and say hello and wish you a happy holiday season, in spite of the snow.  Have a great day!

Best regards,

Dana

AMAZINGNESS! I'm so glad I can put a smile on a person's face, especially someone I've never met. And way to go Mark and Wendy for spreading the YGIU love! You guys definitely have a chance to make the blog next time you're up in this neck of the woods. Consider yourself lucky. It's hard to make an appearance in the blog.

The next one is from my friend Meg. Meg is a long time reader and supporter of the YGIU and she's also one of the cutest humans on the planet.

Subject line of her Myspace message: ....so you have some jr high readers

hey there sister....funny story ..

so there i was today at the end of school and i had given them basically a 'lets just hang out and watch the snow' last class of the day and i hear a general address to the class...
'who reads yourgirlfriendisugly?....like what is that all about...?' ( gal was snooping at the task bar to see what people are looking at..)

and i admitted that i was the one who read it ...so not remembering that there are words like fuck and other various things that I ...as their teacher...probably should NOT be admitting this ...hahahaha

bottom line ...one of my girls read it ...thought it was wicked funny...thinks i am a 'tad' cooler for it ....( because they think i was pretty much born during watergate....they have no concept of time to the point that its scary...)

thought you would like that!!

hope all is well...

woot

Oh I love it. Now YGIU.com is shaping young minds! It's good practice for when I pop out a few of my own. Keep it up Meg! And encourage those tweens to stop by and check out YGIU on a regular basis. Those kids can learn a lot from me. I mean, I didn't walk "up hill both ways in the snow with now shoes" like my parents did when they were kids, but I've had my own fair share of hardships. You have no idea what it's like being a girl and living in the snow-ridden town of Boston. Or trying to just go out and get a beer and being hit on by balding 50+ year old men who smell like sausage.

Seriously. Stick with me.

I hope this encourages my other readers out there to hit me up with some fan mail! You'll make the blog. And when I become famous and get a movie deal with Untitled Entertainment and Vanessa Hudgens is playing me, your likeness could get a part on the silver screen!

Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiink about it.

And while you're at it hit me up at [email protected]

Happy blog reading Xx
