[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

In light of recent events and the majority of the cB community generally wanting to bring together a closer community, I took the liberty of re-starting a thread that BrandonSaunders started a while ago. I thought a new one should be made, to start fresh and new and this way we could all get closer. I think this is one of the few topics where we SHOULD have a version 2/3/4 and so on, because it's a topic where I am asking, as Brandon asked that we all share stories and opinions and feelings and interact.

Reference to his topic, and ideas of questions and such to ask can be found here : http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php...=115046&hl=


As Brandon said :

For the most part, most of us are nothing more than screennames and links to networking and blogging mediums.

Lets take the opportunity to get to know each other. Feel free to ask someone (in here) a few questions about them; something that has always interested you about the person. Try to maintain proper decorum, but make an effort to reach out to someone instead of wondering what someone is really like.

I'm an open book. So I guess yous can all start by asking me something.

This should be fun...

This time, you could start by asking me something, or asking someone else something that you've always itched to ask about.



Im Isabella. Im 14 going on 15, but people usually mistake me for somebody 16-19. Not really because I have an 'old' looking face but because of my general appearance and demeanor. I know online i seem childish and immature to many of you, but that's becase this is the internet and I dont give a f**k. But to people I know in person, they see me as very mature and grown. Maybe it's because of events in my life that have made it hard for me to have a normal childhood. For instance, I used to find solace in gang life and activity because I thought it was somewhere I could fit in and find respect and power but then my long term boyfriend and whom i believe to be my first love was shto and murdered and I realized this wasn't the life I wanted to lead, living each day worrying whether or not it would be my last or if I'd wake up tomorrow. I was molested, physically and sexually abused by 2 different boyfreinds and a friend of a friend. I look for love and reassurance in all the wrong places because my parents are ... the epitome of a failed marriage. All i have known from my parents is hatred. All they do is fight and yell and take it out on the children. Im also not exactly poor but yet, my family barely manages to live paycheck to paycheck. Any questions ? Does anyone want me to go into depth about the gangs, the abuse experiences, the family ? Feel free to ask questions.

I guess I can take a shot at this.

My real name isn't Angelina Taylor, but many people know me with that name. I'm Bulgarian, but I've lived in Canada since I was 13. I'm 17 now. I'm studying for a concert pianist, and my life seems to never stop - but I like it that way. I don't like saying that I've had a hard life, because it's been wonderful compared to many. When I was 12, a friend of mine (a 15-year-old) shot herself because of.. I guess love gone wrong. And I think that's when things started going downhill. I was abused in many ways, which I prefer not to mention, I had really low self-esteem, depression and all that bullshit. Then I moved to Canada, and since I didn't speak English, I hated it. But it wasn't that bad when I think about it now - I made a few friends, went to the conservatory (my absolutely favourite place on earth), etc. And since we didn't have money, a sponsor bought me a piano - it was the first time I was truly happy here. I was still dealing with depression and suicide attempts (feeble and stupid - I know). But I met a few people after that and my whole outlook on life completely altered. And things were good, until my dad had a car accident, and a few months later my uncle passed away from cancer, after which my grandfather passed away just ten days later. My friends didn't even care - my "online" buddies cared more for me at that time than them.. but that's another story. My boyfriend helped me a lot.. we've been together for over a year and a half. And even though it's long distance, we make it work. I don't want to make this too long - I'm an optimistic person, I like challanges and I look forward to the future, because I think every day is a chance to make things better.
