Seven things I wish everyone I knew about me; Part two

I hate my name and when people mispronounce it

Yes, My name is the title of a song..well aware. Please stop mentioning it and singing it to me. No I wasn’t named after the song, I was named after my grandfather. My name is pronounced how it is spelled, this is especially annoying when I am right in front of you and tell you my name and people always repeat it back wrong. When someone repeats it back right I feel like congratulating them on winning. It has gotten to the point where if you haven’t heard me after the third time and still say it wrong, call me whatever you want..joanne; fine whatever. I’ll answer.

 

I have owned over thirty websites & a domain

I have been making websites since 1998 and have owned many personal sites (all hosted, by many different people), fansites, fanlistings and I had a domain for a year when I was seventeen.

 

 

I completed a book series when I was eighteen

The series was Cast Of Love and Had five books…it was complete. I began writing it when I was thirteen years old and completed book five at eighteen. Unfortunately the series was on my computer when it crashed and I lost everything including the series. The series featured two twin girls in high school; Mindy and Ronnie. I have considered updating and bring the series back…maybe I will.

 

I taught myself HTML from a book when I was thirteen

My father helped me build a one page webpage when I was thirteen years old on his work domain, in 1996 and then gave me a book on HTML and from there I taught myself to code.

 

It annoys me when people believe blogs didn’t exist before 2007

I read a blog post last week where someone was giving their blogging history and there was a quote in there that said something like blogging wasn’t a thing before 2007..ah blogging has been around since the late 90s. There is an article floating around about the history of blogs…gotta find the link.

 

I hate when people lie and then when caught they try to backtrack

Don’t lie to me, just don’t do it. Truth always comes out in the end and is it really worth it to tell me you saw my cousin when you know you didn’t; like I don’t talk to her?

 

When people try to talk to people through me

SO has this friend who messages me on FB to deliver messages to him, like he did tonight. Last time he messaged me I got called a bitch…boo you have his number, you know where we live..i’m not message girl.
