Seven Little Known Facts

Seven things that may come as a surprise to learn about me.

I gave myself the nickname Jojo: When I was a kid, I couldn’t pronounce my name so I called myself Jojo and it caught on from there. I usually tell people to just call me that as some people have a hard time remembering my name, spelling it or pronouncing it.

My teeth aren’t real: There is a genetic disorder in my family where we just have bad teeth, so I have a full set of dentures and have had them since I was eighteen. My grandmother’s on both sides of my family had them out young. Usually people don’t notice until I tell them, they look real.

I don’t like people in costume: People in costume really freaked me out as a kid and clowns still do.

I was asked to not talk about my mental health: A couple years ago I lived with three college students who looked me up online and told the landlord that they didn’t want to live with me. I was asked to delete my mental health diagnoses online.

I’m afraid of heights but I love roller coasters: they are fast, but heights freak me out.

I don’t have a best friend: I had a BFF when I was a kid/teenager but I have been fucked over by females a lot so I really don’t trust anyone.

I have a fourteen year old: My son will be fifteen in June, I signed my rights away when he was seven and he has been adopted. This is something I barely talk about, even offline.

Seven things other people do that annoy me

by

I really don’t like to be around people in general and only really go out if I have an appointment or need something from the store. Honestly people in general get under my skin which is why I only really spend time with my SO and that’s about it, people lucky if I answer the phone for them.

Lying about dumb things or lying in general:

I don’t like when people lie to me, especially when they start drama or start a rumor and when caught in the lie they cry. I am grown and there are certain people who I know read my blog that lie about shit that don’t make sense. There is this “friend” that I have that lied about seeing one of my family members a couple of months ago. Who also started a rumor about me in the building we both lived in and blamed it on a couple of innocent people, basically started a ton of drama and I was ready to beat these two innocent people asses over some shit that came out of her mouth. When she was caught, she cried…that’s what people who when they get caught in lies. STOP LYING.

There is honestly no reason to lie about anything and it’s pointless to confront this bitch because she won’t own up to shit. To this day she still denies the drama she started over the summer. Matter fact she is still holding true to the lies she told on another situation that she wasn’t even apart of originally, a situation she inserted herself in to be relevant. I should have known she was wacked when I found out she know’s all these bitches from my past that I no longer associate with because they cause drama including “Crazy Girl”

Moving on….

Walking really slow:

I am tall so I walk faster then shorter people, my legs are longer. I really hate when people walk slow and then like are all over the sidewalk so I can’t pass. Some people have driving rage, I have walking rage.

Stopping out of nowhere in the middle of the aisle at the grocery store or mall:

When I’m walking behind someone in the store and they just stop out of nowhere in the middle of the walkway and don’t move over.

Walking in front of your very young children:

There is no reason ever that your two year old child is walking behind you…can’t tell you how many times I have seen this bullshit in Buffalo. I also can’t tell you how many times I have pulled a young child that wasn’t related to me out of the fucking street. If you do this..SMFH

Acting tough on social media aka being a “online gangster” or a “phone gangster”:

this doesn’t need examples

Treating me as if I am a grocery store and only calling/texting when you need something:

There are several people I know that text me lists of stuff they need from me and that’s the only time they text me.

Always talking about drama:

I know someone who only calls when they got drama going on, I hate that shit.

 

 

 

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

by

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.

Seven things I wish that everyone knew about me

by

I really hate when people comment on my height:

I know I am tall but stop asking me how tall I am and making dumb comments about it. You can’t find anything else to ask me about that doesn’t relate to my height like my name.

I don’t mind helping people but I hate being taken advantage of:

I have a big heart when it comes to helping people and I always get fucked over or taken advantage of. People seem to thing I am supposed to help them because we are friends but when I do, I never get the help in return if I need it.

I have been blogging since I was sixteen 

I have been making websites since 1998 and blogging since 1999, before wordpress. I actually used to blog by hand, manually and used javascript comment popups.

I am really lazy and unmotivated at times

Sometimes I don’t want to do anything which makes it hard being a writer and owning a blog. I have to force myself to blog sometimes and I have a million novels that are half completed. This annoys my SO btw, he is the complete opposite of me.

I was bullied in school

I don’t like to talk about it but I had a couple of experiences that were horrible for me and is one of the reasons why I dropped out of high school at seventeen. One of the more damaging was when I was in the fifth grade and hit in the eye with an acorn by an eighteen year old, when I was walking back to my aunts house from the bus stop after school.

I was in an abusive relationship

For three years I was in an emotional and physically abusive relationship, even over ten years later it still gets swept under the rug by him and his family.

I have a hard time opening up to people

I have been hurt a lot by people who were really close to me so when people ask me why I like them or love them, I can’t put it in to words. I guard my heart really carefully because of things that happened in the past by people I trusted with my life.

 

 

There’s a look into me, I am trying to come up with new post topics and being more open about myself on this blog. Hope that you enjoyed this post.
