Bval: more conniving by the second
Just read today's blog post. She came to a revelation, guys. Staying home has nothing to do with her extreme laziness and inability to live like an adult. No. She's staying home for Brandon, of course. She wants to cook and clean for him, and this is obviously impossible to do if she works even part time. Silly me. I thought this was all about her! I never realized how selfless she is!
Re: Bval: more conniving by the second
Well, that's convenient. It's a great idea to make yourself totally dependent on someone else, with no skills or experience or income to support yourself or both of you if something were to happen to you. First staying on the second floor where she needs him to ever be able to leave the house and now this new life ambition of hers. It's almost like she's trying to make herself as dependent on him as possible so he could never leave her without feeling terrible.
Also I love that she wants to make a room/space for Annie. She's in love with her right? Do you think Brandon knows?

We miss you and love you always, little firecrackers!
You know what, I totally saw this coming after yesterday's post. She talked a few times about "homemaking" and I just KNEW this would be the next in a long string of excuses/rationalizations.
I bet her house smells like cat piss, rat droppings and unwashed hair. I'm sure Brandon will LOVE to have a SAHW who just plays video games and masturbates while thinking of Annie all day long. Maybe if she wears a frilly apron while she does it, she'll consider herself the next Donna Reed.

I can't see people's blogs here at work. Damn security on the computers.
Does she ever post any more?
My 2 cents (I don't read the blog, just hear about it on here) The moment my spouse tells me he can't walk or his hand stops working, I'm taking him the ER and he's getting fixed. I can't believe there has been no thought for that.
I'm dry heaving just thinking about this.
I'm trying to figure out how she imagines she can DO all this when the simplest task these days (READING FFS) is an uphill battle for her poor self. How TF does she think she'll be able to keep house? She can't even take care of herself FFS.
She needs to slow it down and get herself under control first. Also, she could work from home!! Starwood Hotels lets you work like a call center type job from home. You just book hotel rooms. If she can blog, play video games and shyt-- she could definitely make money off Starwood.
Shyt, she could even get in on Ebay and make it work. You just need a computer and some storage space for inventory. There are a TON of ways she could make money from home with minimal movement and stress.
It irritates the crap out of me that she is like, "oh woes me-- but I can go on trips, out to eat and shyt-- but pull my own weight at home? Fook, I'm too much of an invalid for that. "
I have a pretty big tolerance and empathy for people that are truly incapacitated, but for shyt's sake. This is just lazy cherry-picking BS that Bval is serving up right there.
I am wondering if Brandon is getting sick and resentful of this. I know I would if I were the breadwinner, carting my spouse everywhere while she sits around & feels sorry for herself. I would be planning my exit strategy. I really wonder if Brandon is REAL.
For some reason I picture Bval (now) as some twenty something living in her parents basement making all this shyt up. Her parents probably wait on her hand/foot and this obsession with Annie is just the build up to the inevitable "I'm a lesbian and have been all along" reveal.
I keep reading the blog though. Its like a trainwreck you just can't stop looking at.

I wonder if she realizes that homemaking generally involves more than sitting around reading books and watching endless TV.
I also thought it was kind of funny that she mentions that Brandon isn't too excited about driving to see Annie. I'm sure he's psyched about his supposedly invalid wife running off with her girlfriend and spending the money he makes to visit various zoos.
Well, she's right about one thing. She doesn't want to work.
I'm convinced that BVal has the mental age of 12 and won't be making any advancements towards adulthood in any capacity. Even her marriage reeks of two kids playing house (and cat piss and rat droppings). All of her behavior and thought-processes are those that I made between the ages of 12-15. Dyed my hair a wacky color? Check - I used blue raspberry Kool-Aid. Want to have spend-the-nights and go to zoos with my bestest friend? Check - went to the Jax zoo and bought a stuffed giraffe. Want to zone out on the couch and watch trash TV? Check - Ricki Lake was the shiznit.
BVal is a child. The root cause of her arrested development is up for debate (and not all that relevant), but the result is the same. It's funny that she took umbrage with the fact that we looked down our noses at the sub-25 set. In her opinion, her brain was done maturing at 23.
So maybe she was right about two things.

Have you seen this? I was trying to find her blog the other day on my home computer and searched "eechie" and this was the first thing that came up. It implies that someone on that board was actually in contact with her and Brandon.

8days- yeah, I did see that (doing the same thing you were... Googling for eechie to find the blow).
I think bval is one of those people who just loves the idea of being sick. It makes her feel special and unique and she gets attention to boot.

IMOAN!
I just figured out who she reminds me of- a smellier version of Terri from Glee. Really, she's a caricature of real-life. A stereotype.

Pic (It won't paste here for some reason) In her profile, right side of the page. Besides the stupid hat, she looks like she is 12 years old - Bowies assessment appears correct. "I'm sure TIP loves that. I'm soooo lazy. No, really...I like keeping house. If I am healthy enough to clean every day, I will. And exercise, and run errands, and get things nice and organized and orderly. Maybe even make enough space for a certain someone to have her own space when she stays with us...not enough for her to move in, maybe, but somewhere she can stay for longer periods of time." I think BVal has a cage in her apartment, just waiting for fictional Annie. Here Annie, Annie, Annie. I promise, I just want to be friends. And take care of you....forever.
