I can’t make you like me. Can I?
Honestly, I don’t know what I’d do without that Intern Meagan. She’s been a part of our lives for such a short time but her impact has been tremendous, am I right?
And tomorrow I finally get to meet her and buy her a beverage at Backfence PDX! And Intern Nathalie too! Woot1!!1 or whatever.
I’m very excited for this installment of BFPDX because our friend Matt Davis is telling stories and he has some kind of accent or something which seems both thrilling and cosmopolitan. I don’t know. It makes him sound real smart. And hopefully his wife, Sue, will be there as well. She’s super and I haven’t seen either of them in too long for reasons I can’t think of right now other than general laziness.
Here is the pretty Backfence flyer for tomorrow’s event~
And now on to IRRITATING things.
A woman who goes by the name of Ste. Goldie™ is annoyed with my Pearl District attitude about cab drivers who don’t want to go to Taco Bell.
I’m not sure why I offend her sensibilities so much but I’ve been told people who attend Clark County Community College are very sensitive souls who need much hand holding and emo music and passive aggressive Taco Bell references to soothe their overwrought nerves. Poor Ste. Goldie™. It must be so dark in there, alone with your Sylvia Plath poetry and Pablo Neruda postcards. Er, or something. I have no idea. It’s all very romantic.

Kiala – remember when you were writing for Pampelmoose? Well right about that time – this Ste. Goldie person left this comment on one of on one of Dave’s posts:
“i am looking to increase traffic to my blog. if it sucks i would love nothing more than for you to tell me. please Dave Allen, leave me a comment. Maybe you aren’t my target audience but I admire what you are doing here. And I’ve been posting blogs about you to try to get your attention.”
It should tell you a lot about her. My #1 tip to increase your blog traffic… don’t write a blog about your community college production of “Jesus Christ Superstar.”
I’m excited to meet you too! And God willing, I will one day be in the back of a cab drunk with you and damn it, no one will keep us from the cheesy-plastic goodness of Taco Bell.
Every time you write about someone literary I have to look those people up.
But I like Bukowski, remember? Don’t forget! He’s literary!
What is going on over there on your side of the country that makes everyone’s panties get all twisted up?
I do not understand.
PS: I would give anything to eat Taco Bell off you in the back of a cab…
PSS: WITH YOU! I meant WITH.
I haven’t been able to sleep because I am so full of anticipation – anticipation of the moment that we actually meet, touch, become one … whatever you want to call it. Tomorrow will be joyous!!
Also — this Sgt. whateverherstupidnameis person is OBVIOUSLY not funny enough to be in our clique, and that upsets her. Upsets her so much that she must attempt to battle you on the internets. What’s ironic, is that she is cutting off all chance of being a part of our clique by bashing you. She’s obviously never had friends so she doesn’t know that people side with those they enjoy rather than those they loathe.
Silly Sgt.whateverherstupidnameis … she should drink some Grey Goose, take an improv class and come back in the fall for tryouts.
I am protesting the internet today. As soon as I find a zucchini bread recipe.
WTF? Of course she’ll be more than dreaming about that burrito… Have you seen the size of her profile pic? It took up half the screen of my Macbook!
Also, she was/is (?) a John Edwards person. John Edwards, douchebag extraordinaire!
Jesus-tapdancing-Christ…
My #1 tip to increase your blog traffic… don’t write a blog about your community college production of “Jesus Christ Superstar.”
Awesome.
Wait a minute, there’s a clique? Where? When?
I miss seven-layer burritos.
I posted a crazy ranty comment on that blog. Because thats the sort of friend I am. I would have posted something smart – but Im all out of smart for the day so I posted crazy. I give what I can.
Cheer up, Charley [mwahah i've always wanted to say that] … you’re in the clique.
hey lady – a few things:
1) i am just catching up on my face of the cookie reading (for explanation of this travesty, please forward to item 3), and i thought we agreed that i had surpassed superfandom, and was no longer to be prefaced with such silliness. also, you have an intern! you are like… a adult, or somefuckingthing.
2) i can’t make pack fence. BOO! because i have to work. double boo. because i’m a cog in the hospitality industry’s machine. triple. boo.
3) remind me to tell you the story about how i’ve been doped out on vicodin for about a week because i CRASHED MY BIKE and hit the curb and RIPPED PART OF MY EAR OFF. it’s reattached. but. still.
Erica – I am le sad. Because I wanted you and I to meet tonight.
But — go on and tell me more about your torn off ear, please. I’m dying to know.
where are the pics of you and melissa?!??!
Why can’t backfence pdx ever be on a week when I don’t have finals so I can go? I want to meet all the cool people.
I liked Ste. Goldie’s comment about how you’re embarrassing yourself. I’ve been meaning to say something about that…
Why is that person’s blog in size +3 font? It makes it look like a 12 year old made it. And it’s a bad font as well.
hi meagan! i wish i had an extra letter for flair.
please refer to blog for full ear detachment story.
The Jesus Christ Superstar blog post continues is still in my top ten most visited posts from January 1st, 2008 to present.
The post was about the musicians who were cast in the play. I had the time of my life being in JC Superstar.
Am I too fat to be cool? Really? I don’t think I want understand what you and your friends are all about.
I don’t think you are clever or perceptive. I don’t read Sylvia Plath or Pablo Neruda. I haven’t taken classes at Clack CC in 13 years.
Tell Dave Allen I said hello.
Hold on a second there Goldie… don’t come here and act all hurt like this was some sort of unprovoked attack. The fact of the matter is that you were talking shit about Kiala on your “indie music” blog, and she tried really hard to be nice to you and bury the hatchet, but you still acted all superior at her… like living in Vancouver gives you some sort of super-indie-cred… i mean, you might as well live INSIDE of a Taco Bell for Superstar’s sake. Just a note – when you live in Vancouver, you aren’t allowed to criticize anyone for living anywhere in or around Portland, it’s like someone from Cleveland saying that San Francisco has no culture.
I don’t know anything about you, I don’t really care to – the point of the original post, and of this one remains about how people like that bitchy cab driver – and you – seem to derive some sort of strange sense of power from belittling people for completely arbitrary reasons… I mean, am I supposed to feel ashamed for drunkenly visiting Taco Bell? I’m not.
What’s awesome is that when someone does something very similar to you, you somehow convinced yourself that WE’RE the assholes, and that making fun of people you don’t know on blogs is a horrible thing to do. It’s pathetic, and what’s worse… you’re not even smart enough or self-aware enough to realize that you’re still emotionally like 13 years old.
Also – you should re-read the post: overwrought is not the same thing as overweight.
This blog is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. Ugh…
*trying to unsee this festering sore*
Ste Goldie – I didn’t call you overweight. I think that kind of attack is misguided and uncalled for and mean. And probably untrue, but mostly it is irrelevant to who you are as a person.
But please, don’t throw a rock at me and expect me to ignore it.
I’m very sensitive.
I happen to agree with “disgusted in pdx!” Not only are our names eerily similar, but we hold the same opinion! It looks like this festering sore has indeed spread south!
Things that WERE more disgusting until I read this.. this so-called “BLOG.”
1. genocide
2. al roker
3. random used condom placed in public area
4. pizza hut
5. shoes on powerlines
6. AIDS
7. Smokey and the Bandit III
More like BLAG! That’s the noise I make after reading such filth!!!
*placing this line between asterisks because this is the action I am currently taking*
I think it’s highly amusing that Goldie wasn’t even the one to make the original post mocking you and taco bell, it was someone else on her blog. If it can even be called mocking, the person just said it was funny.
