Am I the only person who thinks Dooce is an imaginary creature? Like, I know she’s real, but in my head she’s real the same way that Jesus is real. Like he used to be a real-live person but now he’s like Santa Clause…everywhere at once but not actually anywhere you can find on google maps. To me, Dooce is like a little hobbit. Awesome but mythical. So basically a mythical hobbit is going to be at Blogher. I’m going to San Francisco to see a mythical hobbit. This is weird. And is totally something I’m going to say to her if I happen to meet her. It will be ugly.
I bought this new dress for blogher. I can’t decide if it’s so ugly it’s cute or if it’s just regular ugly. I’d show you a picture but I don’t want to ruin the surprise of ugliness. Maybe the shock will be so great that people will just assume I’m ultra-hip and cutting edge. Unless they also went to Ross-Dress-4-Less recently. Then I’m fucked.
Speaking of fucked, I got selected to read some of my work at the Blogher keynote address which is a tremendous honor and just a…horrible, horrible idea. I love Blogher but this is the same organization that felt it needed to drop the “Jesus” from my “Thanks for the zombies, Jesus” post, and yet, in a matter of days they will be give me a microphone and a stage. It’s like they’re daring me to say the c word.
It’s a dare they are going to lose.
If you hear weird shit about me being fat and drunk at BlogHer or see pictures of me passed out in my own vomit just know that those are lies spread by my enemies, unless they are saying that I got handcuffed and hauled off by the cops for screaming the c word onstage because I’m fairly sure that shit is going to happen.
PS. Did you know you can go on the heritage website and they’ll morph you into whatever celeb you most resemble? Apparently I resemble Lucille Ball by 67%. Very flattering.

And, apparently, Pete Dogherty coming off a heroin binge by only one percent less.

Not. quite. as flattering.
PPS. We’re trying for a live broadcast hosted by Gwen Bell and Kirtsy at The People’s Party so if you can’t make it to Blogher and you haven’t already stopped reading this post you can make it to the party in spirit. If we can get it together I’ll post the link here. Most likely it’ll be grainy video of me and a three other chicks crying and drinking Jack Daniels on the floor after our sound system breaks and we accidentally set a fire to the room. (The link will go here if we ever figure it out.)
Updated: Okay, we have a link to watch the party! Unless something goes horribly wrong and we end up with the black screen of the holocaust and then you can just pretend that it’s just really, really dark and quiet at our party.
Updated again (Sunday after blogher): The link to the party got fucked, I hid in the bathroom for 4 hours during the party having panic attacks, at the community keynote I said the c-word 3 times and almost pulled the stage curtain down on me because I was drunk, and apparently Dooce has a thing against hobbits.
(Long-ass) Comment of the day: Every time I see “Blogher” in print I am transported back to the 12th century to a scene that in my head goes something like this:
Ten days into their crusade, an Archbishop and his minions approach a woman on the street.
“Do you know the Lord Jesus as your savior?” asks the Archbishop.
“Zombie Jesus?”
“No, the regular one.”
“Um, not so much…”
The Archbishop turns to his minions and commands, “Blog her!”
The minion holding the cat-o-nine-tails finally speaks up.
‘”Excuse me, your Lordship…”
“Yes?”
“Don’t you mean ‘flog’ her? All this time you’ve been saying ‘blog her’ and ‘blog him’ and I don’t think that’s correct.”
“You question my grasp of the King’s English? Tell me your name, young man.”
“Buck Hugh.”
“What?”
“Buck Hugh, your Lordship.”
“Insolent Bool! Blog him too!”
I’m pretty sure that happened, but I couldn’t find it recorded anywhere on Wikipedia, so I might be wrong.
~ I can’t read my nametag
You know I’ll be at the party, holding you up and refusing to let you touch that vomit. Way too hot for that.
And I’ll throw some ‘bows at the pigs trying to take you down for your usage of free speech. Fight the Power!!
Dooce is a hobbit. LOL. I’ll be Gollum, chasing her sneakily around the Westin until I’ve ballsed up enough to go steal her sock.

I think they expect swearing in the keynote. I’m sure I saw a section on acceptable uses of the C-word in my BlogHer conference guide.
janet’s last blog post..In the Morning Light
Strange; I am not going to BlogHer, and I am not jealous but excited because folks like you are letting us non-attendees be part of the action a little.
I think it is neat. Simple thought, but true.

I regularly walk the line between “so trendy it’s tacky” (my sisters graciously tell me ALL the damn time) with my fashion, my nails and my hair color, so I’m happy to pass judgment on your dress.
Problem is, my opinion isn’t worth shit, but at least you and I will agree.

It sounds like this weekend is going to be a blast. If I can sustain this whole blog thing for another year I’ll totally try to hike it out there in ’09. With my kids? Who knows. As long as someone can drug me through the flight I’m sure it’ll be fine.
Have fun!!!

I’m thinking we should just bring a splat mat with us so you don’t lose any of the Jack in the carpet.
Can’t wait to see you at the parties. Honestly, just knowing there is a woman as demented as me in the same room will be a relief (though let’s face it, I’m way weirder in my own head).

fidget’s last blog post..Chore Boy
Is it that dress that gives you good cleavage? Cause if it is, it doesn’t matter if it’s ugly or not. Plus it made that toddler practically become your stalker. He would have said “Hubba Hubba” if only he could talk.
I can’t wait to hear all about BlogHer and how everyone’s periods will be all synchronized. And I won’t feel excluded. At all.
Marinka’s last blog post..Open Plea to Dav Pilkey
Yeah, um, even though I’ve actually seen you in person, you don’t quite exist to me yet either. So, I’ll stalk you, you’ll stalk her, and I’ll get to stalk her vicariously through my stalking of you–deal?

Just make sure you laminate that pic of me biatch cause I don’t want no vomit on my face while you are part-ay-ing with me.
Oh and that dress? You can totally make it cuter than Dooce by adding a couple of pasties with my face on them. While you are reading your post to the hordes. I call them deflectaboobies. You can say anything while flashing those puppies.

Knowing you’ll be on that stage, and the big bad BlogHer shepherd’s hook will be waiting in the wings to snare you and pull you off is almost enough to make me run out right now and buy an overpriced plane ticket just so I can see it for myself.

Maybe it’s just the xanax talking but honestly? You guys have changed my life in a really profound way. And for the first time ever I actually don’t feel like a total misfit. I feel like the Treasurer of the Misfits. Which is a bad role for me because I’m going to spend all our money on booze.

Hi Jenny, I’m a headline editor with BlogHerAds, and I sent you an email about the Jesus thing. Just wanted to make sure it didn’t go into your spam filter.
I’d give my left tit to be there and meet you Jenny – you just simply R.O.C.K. (ROCK in the USA!) I can’t believe you don’t know how cool you are! 🙂
Are you hungover yet? Or still drunk?
Anissa@Hope4Peyton’s last blog post..Props to my husband, yo!

I know you want to kiss me now.
It also says that I look like Dooce if I put a cupcake on my dog’s head.
Have fun at BlogHer. I’ll be at Black Hockey Jesus blog on Sunday morning with a Very Special Message for everyone at BlogHer. Get up early and take your Alka-Seltzer.
Jenny, you can stand there in your fabulous Endora coat and call me a hobbit all day long. Some of us realize that hobbits are magic. So glad you stood up for yourself.
Also, you said the C word five times. Just sayin’.

You fucking rock…seriously….you are like glinda the good witch if she only said cunt.
I wish I had more guts..I need a comfort wig too.
I was there and you were awesome. The green coat was awesome too. You were totally right, too – I didn’t think this post was insulting at all – you were saying that she’s so big and awesome that you wonder if she’s real. Good for you for grabbing the mic and setting it straight.

Adventures In Babywearing’s last blog post..Golden
The stories are starting to trickle in for those of us who aren’t part of the inner circle. So, was this dooche person actually rude to our beloved Bloggess? Are we going to have to teach her a lesson? Hmmm?
I am pretty sure that heather is not a hobbit. Hobbits are kind and cute and eat a lot. I think she must be either a hobbit that just escaped from prison or one of those irish banshees. tall and screamy
I expected this post to be so mean and offensive. So offensive that Dooce, the woman who receives terrible emails and death threats, deemed it unforgivable.
Instead it is a sweet little cuddly post.
Dude. Wished I could have gone to blogHer just to see you up on that stage. Yo shit don’t stink..
Robin’s last blog post..Bom Dia, Guten Morgen, Buon Giorno, Gunaydin, Buenos Dias, Selamat Pagi
I can’t believe Heather took this post as an insult. Silly lady. You are awesome, Jenny and I hope she didn’t ruin your entire weekend.
bente’s last blog post..Maybe I should just shut up…
Evidently Dooce got her mythical creatures mixed up. You called her a hobbit, not a troll. BTW, enjoyed visiting you at your “private party” in the pisser Thursday night.
Fame should bring grace, but that doesn’t seem to be the case with Dooce. I am sorry you bore the brunt of her unprofessional behavior.
califmom’s last blog post..How Do You Sleep?
Heard you had some fun at the conference. Are you sure you don’t want to come to Orlando in November for my huge Halloween party?
Avitable’s last blog post..New meaning to “Office Pool”
I came here to see the comment straight from the horses, erm…fingers. And no, I’m not calling you a horse, but I’m sure you get that.
I wasn’t at Blogher but I’ve heard allll about “the incident”. I don’t think Dooce actually read this post. I think she heard “through the grapevine” that you called her a hobbit. There is absolutely NOTHING offensive about what you said here and knowing that she got so personal about it makes me lose respect for her.
Of course, I guess I’m hearing this all “through the grapevine” too and never really saw what Dooce said about it. Still, this was not offensive in the least.
I can’t believe this is the post that caused such a fuss. The way it was introduced she made it sound like you mentioned her daughter in an insulting way.
The worst part of the whole thing? You were one of the people I really wanted to meet at BlogHer and the only time I got to see your sweet face was when you were standing up talking to Dooce!! GAH!!!
Next year if I don’t meet you – THEN it will get ugly.
Maybe she’s just jealous because some people love you and don’t even read her blog at all? I’m just sayin’.
holli’s last blog post..I’m lagging.
Dude, you totally look like Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia. Srsly.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with your post. I guess consider it a compliment that she even cared, because we know how much she already has to worry about!
I came here by way of other blogs, and you’ve made a convert out of me. Yours is the sparkliest, most original blog I have read in years and if Jesus isn’t offended by the stuff you’ve written about him, then I don’t see why dooce should be.
Agent of Distraction’s last blog post..creepy crawly
Love this blog! Love how you handled Dooce. I had never even heard of her until this Blogher “episode” started appearing on blogs everywhere. Good for you. She takes herself WAY WAY WAY too seriously!
Am I, um, missing something? Is there hidden text here somewhere? If I record myself reading this post out loud and then play it backward on a record will it say something threatening? Because. Um. Again, I think I’m missing something… I mean, I must be. Either that, or Dooce and her husband need to chill.
