Matt, Patrick and I attended a Twitter-up this week - Which is a celebratory party for people who spend far too much time on the Internet - I am one of these people! We Tweet, we Tumble, we Flick, we Social Network! About fifty percent of those Twitter-up folk work from home, running their businesses, living in front of a monitor.
A lot of people who attended the Twitter-up, also read this blog - Surprisingly, I was even nominated for an Austin Blogger Award! Nominated! Me?.. How cool is it that I have lived in this city for only one year, and people actually voted for me here in TX!
Got into this conversation with one of my twitter buds - The conversation was really eye opening, and it made me think about something that I have never really put my mind to before. He was talking about how upsetting it is that I cannot share my life and my success with my family - And he then said something like, "Isn't it cool to have such a huge family online, that is so open and accepts all that you do?" - And you know what? He is completely correct. Even though I cannot share my life with my immediate family - You guys *are* my family.... You are my soundboard. You are my inspiration. You listen to what I have to say and you give me grand advice on all things. You have helped me in times of need. You have supported my modeling career, my writing, my decisions (even the bad ones), my adventures, need to travel - You send me letters about your family, your lives. I know many of you personally. You have been there for all things - I just wanted to say Thank You. Thank you for all that you have done this year. It is great having a family that I can be open with, a family that I do not need to hide from.

You definetely are our new bud. And I know I can speak for both me and Erica wen I say that we're both proud to be your bud. You're an awesome person with a huge heart that shows your concern for not just people out there but the environment (like the recycling thing with the bottles), animals. You're awesome. You might look up to those of us in your "family" but we look right back up to you. Hope you know that. <3 ya girl.
Praise be. :-) As long as you stay your pretty self, you'll always have an admirer in me.
And thanks (*wink*)

Thanks London!
...Oh - And by the way London. The two pics you've posted with this post are without doubt my favorite of all time (so far (o;). You look absolutely great. They're arguably your best ever (in my eyes anyhow). Would love to get them as prints! "Nudge-nudge, wink-wink, say no more!"

i need advice! Where'd you get those thigh highs. I'm always nervous to purchase bc they never fit nicely on my bigger thighs! Thanks doll!
thank You for a wonderful blog and not letting us down either !
sharing good and bad and letting us participate in vivid pictures and various scenes all over !
never forget:
WE look up to YOU !!
You are talented to pick those words that describe the scene so brightly that it is so easy to live oneself into it !
priceless....
WOW and thanks !!
And we thank you for sharing with us. It takes a big, brave person to open up like you do. You have brought us along on your adventures and we have learned a lot. In a way, you have been there for us, the least we can do is be there for you. Thanks for bring some smiles to the days.
=)
Haha... it is an honor and a pleasure to be your big brother hun. I meant what I said to you and your friend was 100% right. I will never judge you and I believe I can speak for your other true friends on here. I will always have your back and help you when you need it. At least here in NYC, you know you have someone you can count on bcuz u deserve it AND ur worth it. You guys have a wicked holiday and should u go to Syracuse, I hope u get there safe and sound & everything is drama-free. And thank u for mentioning me Jess, it means a lot to me. There is no one like you -- NEVER forget that. I know someday ur family will realize it too. Sending gazillions of huggies to you. <(((-_-)))>

We've been trying to tell you that for years. We are your family, Sis. We're here for you.
Being your family makes me have durty, incestuous
dreams... :-)
God, those hips are what dreams and empires are built on. Yowza!
Damn. You kinda made me sound like I'm smart! ;-) Glad I was able to say something that resonated with you. It makes me feel good to know that my words helped you out with that situation...
Hope you're enjoying the time up in NY! Let's get together and hang soon!
