[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'll write a little something...though it may not be as interesting or insightful as some of yours.

I had a typical life as a child and whatnot I guess...during my preteen/early teen years I became depressed though. I didn't have any real friends at one point and I was so self-critical and had extremely low self-esteem as I hated my body and I could always find something wrong with myself. It got so bad to the point I almost committed suicide. But then I got scared. I realized I didn't actually want to die so I started looking up and I became more optimistic in life. My self-esteem went up and I gained more confidence as I found some real friends in high school.
My first real relationship was amazing and it lasted for a year and 8 months...but I ended it. I ended up losing feelings for him, while at the same time gaining feelings for someone else. I felt so guilty and people starting making rumours up and calling me a slut. I had feelings for the guy but we didn't actually do anything, but we were best friends & because we spent so much time together, gossip ensued. Eventually we got together after my breakup with my now ex boyfriend and I'm still with that guy now and it's almost been a year, and I don't think I'll ever meet someone like him again. He's amazing and he's taught me a lot. Family life is okay. I'm an only child with a very up & down relationship with my parents. Nothing too dramatic though. I'm still rather self-critical of myself but I've gotten much better. I already talked about the dance part of my life...so yeah. I don't know what else to say.
I'll answer any questions if anyone has any.
