The blog post that started the fun...

I had NO IDEA that my roommate felt this way about me. She never said anything to me. I would ask her stuff when she walked through the door... and she would say stuff like, 'I had a bad day at work', then go into her room and resent me, I guess.

And by the way... I don't smoke pot in front of my kid all day. I work. I take care of my kid. I spend time with people that actually care about me. What a joke.

It's NEVER Too Late To Grow A Backbone
As this is my first blog post, I wanted to first take the chance to thank all my readers for joining me here. The meaning behind both the photo and the name is for the first time I feel empowered as both a woman and a black woman.Whether you've been in a situation of abuse, neglect, or lived in a world of victimtude (I made that up), I'm sure you can relate no matter your race or culture. But I bring this all up because lately, I've been faced with certain demons and one of them, well I'll refrain from naming her. We'll just call her Smith.So Smith took time out of her busy day to write me this lovely note via email about me not giving her my gate clicker that I need for our building:
This is beyond childish. Don't tell me what I think or not.
...Your comparsion with applesand oranges proves you do not have the common sense needed for thissituation....I find it humorous that you now have stuff to say tome. You couldn't express your feelings before, why start now. It'sway too late to make me care about your opionion, especially since you never hadone before.Stop wasting both our time. Seriously. I'mover it. This is just becoming something to laugh about with myfriends.I'm proud of you for finally asserting yourself a bit...but it's too late honey.I want to take the opportunity to focus on the line "it's too late honey". Aside from the fact that this girl is delusional, lazy, neglectful, neglected, and a leech, she was right about one thing; my waiting to assert myself is long overdue. Yea. She ran the show. But hers was canceled and mine now begins.I highlight that email because it feels damn good to finally grew a backbone. She asks why now. I look in the White House and see a first lady with the same skin tone as mine and people call her beautiful. Why now? That took a long time coming.Another reason for why now is because in times like these I feel the spirit of grandmother Marguerite (Elizabeth Murdock Pegues) cut folks like Smith left and right. I had never felt so backed in a corner like I did living a foot or two away from that angry spirit that IS Smith.I'm reading a book right now that says we should love our enemies and wish them well. I know that's easier said then done and I'm sure in a loose manner we say, "I hope so and so gets their shit together", but most of the time we don't mean it.Well I'll declare it now. I want Smith to succeed. I want her to find her backbone like I found mine instead of constantly leaning on the goodwill of others and trying to rip them to shreds when she drains them with her negative, useless energy.And good luck to her daughter. Her mother isn't much of a role model. And she's definitely no Michelle Obama.EP

What a crock... You have all this nonsense here about wanting to help kids etc. But when your roommate was suffering in pain with a hernia the size of a large grapefruit, you couldn't even be bothered to take out the trash! You never lifted a finger to help her and her infant daughter out. Maybe if her "friend" and roommate could have been a little more helpful when she came home after having a c-section the incision would not have ruptured... But NO, you would just prefer to call her lazy...I saw her get up every day and take her baby to the sitter and go to work on the bus...I saw her carry that baby and her laundry up and down the stairs because her roommate couldn't even watch the kid while she threw in a load or took out the garbage.Yes it's true that trying to care for a newborn after surgery and dealing with a hernia and going to work everyday left her little time for house cleaning... But did you ever lift a finger to help her out... NO! No, you lied to her and told her that you would give her a couple of months to recover from her hernia surgery before moving out and then you gave 30 days notice DAYS before her surgery... That just goes to show how much you care about children... You put your selfish needs ahead of a baby's. You did not care if that baby ended up out on the street...You are obviously so self centered... I pray that the lord never blesses you with a child.Or at least not until you grow up... You may be 30 but you are unbelievably childish

Maybe if she gave up the potsmoking all day in front of her kid, I'd give a shit. But I don't. Buzz off. I have emails that proves she's lying. Have a nice life.

Oh Elizabeth, I would like to be make one other comment since you're all stalking and can't just leave the fuck alone. You should be saying this shit to THE FATHER OF THE CHILD! I'm not that child's father. And I didn't have unprotected sex with anybody to create her. I believe that every child is precious, but if the PARENTS don't want to step up and take responsibility, that's my not fucking fault! Where was HE to prevent her c-section injuries? Answer that question or shut the FUCK UP! Where was HE to provide his child home? WHERE WERE YOU TO OFFER HER A PLACE TO LIVE?Now I am done with all of you.
