Earlier this week I was involved in a big fight with the famous blogger, MeMo. I totally won. And not just because she didn’t respond to me at all. Not knowing I exist is pretty much the same thing as admitting that you can’t compete with me.

ALL THE COOL KIDS ADVERTISE HERE:
I fucking love these people & not just because they support my wine-slushee habit:
Flourish in Progress: (T)hug Life: Part hood. Part good.
Pregnancy Calendar at Alpha Mom: Amalah’s week-by-week guide to the miracle of pregnancy and all the various indignities that come with it.
Heather Mosko: Sharing the weird and crafty I find along the way as I research and write my next mystery.
The Mack Files: Digesting life in bite-sized pieces through the lens of clichés, quotes & “truisms”. Often irreverent, always honest.
Candid Kay: A heaping pile of steaming good.
Barking at the Moon: If your dog is your furry child, you will laugh out loud at Tracy Beckerman’s book about her family & a one-dog wrecking ball named Riley.
Talking Tatas: For the Love of Your Boobs.
No Pithy Phrase: Is my freak flag upside down again?
Kieran’s Humor: Not suitable for children, the sensitive, or those hoping to get into heaven.
Born to be Public by Greg Mania: Named one of the best books of 2020 by NPR, O, The Oprah Magazine, & more. You should read it.
Ingram Hills Dental: Local San Antonio badass dentist willing to talk and laugh you off the dental cliff. Military wife, mom and lover of sarcasm and teeth.
Perfectionist Anonymous: Proudly serving unpolished working motherhood, with bipolar depression and hilarity on the side.
Relatively Painless: “My only complaint is that I wanted more, which is a good complaint to have. It made me laugh and cry and then laugh again and then pee and then cry. Lots of fluids lost. But in a good way. A book to make you appreciate the tragically funny and beautiful horror of family.” — Jenny Lawson — use code BLOGGESS for $5 off a ticket to a live reading!
The Dating Days of Marta O: When I told my sister I was building a blog she asked ‘Do people still read blogs?’ I don’t know, but if YOU want to read it, click on the link. Keep in mind, reading about dating after 40 is for the brave. ~Marta O
Dear Childhood Me: Your inner child deserves all the love in the world—and, yes, even if that love is in the form of reflecting back on the time as a kid when you buried the PB&J in the backyard, dug it up the next day, and ate it.
The Art of Holly Eaton: Realism with a hint of surrealism! Paintings and Prints. Reasonably priced art for reasonable people
They Called Him Marvin: They were just kids, barely not teenagers. Desperate to be a family but a B29 and a war got in their way.
I can’t compete with you. Is that pretty much the same thing as not knowing you exist?
BTW, WAAHOOOO on your new blog! It’s already Bloglined and lurved :).
1) I know you exist…
2)…not gonna even try to compete with The Blogess.
3) When I FINALLY get around to creating a Pensieve blogroll, you will be there not once, but twice :).
I just read her post. I think she was trying to be all flip but ended up looking like an A-wad.
More people don’t know that hack exists than don’t know you exist. Comparing posts, you was worth reading, hers was drivel, you got 55 comments, she got 13 (even with a link from your blog) and two of them were Mama Dram bloggers.
I’d like to use a word that has become fairly popular over the last few minutes..fuck her.
I never heard of MeMaw. You are obviously WAY more famous to me.
Yeah, totally. Jenny wins all. 🙂
Does this mean we *won’t* get to see the “Three-way blogger-chick Jell-o Deathmatch”?
~EdT.
So I post my first comment, and it comes back:
Does anyone else see the irony in moderating comments on a blog that comtains (or will soon enough) more F-bombs than there are nuclear warheads in the combined arsenals of the WORLD?!?
~EdT.
Ed, it’s only your comments that get moderated. Everyone else I trust.
As much as I would love to think that number of comments = fame and quality of work, it just ain’t true. MeMo is famous and even has her own wikipedia entry. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyrie_O%27Connor) Meanwhile I’m semi-famous for renaming my vagina.
So since this is two years out, I decided to google to see if by now you have a Wikipedia entry. Turns out you still don’t (don’t mean to burst your bubble, you should already know this). But you are mentioned in the SexIs wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SexIs_(magazine)
Conclusion: You need a Wikipedia entry.
I just found you today but I was curious and check on the latest wiki. And you are finally there. 🙂

I’m only 5 years late, but who or what is a MeMo???
Jenny Lawson / Bloggess = household name. Quoted daily.
Jenny wins.
To the victor go the spoils…
Then again, who wants something that’s spoiled?
Jenny. It is 2015. Just read your first book. Fell in love and found you on Twitter and Facebook.
Am now starting at the beginning of your blogs and reading through. I was reading backwards from 2015, but this seemed easier 🙂
Bless your heart for your kindness and truthfulness and generosity.
