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.

Whats something in your life you really value and love ?

Art, Writing, and Music. I can express myself through art, and I love the way most drawings look(Digital Art is another story, I'm not so good at that). Writing, I love the way your emotions can just flow onto the paper,and afterwords, it's like it's out of your system, and the piece of paper you hold is your baby. And music, I'd die without music, there's no way to explain it. I cannot understand those people when you ask them what kind of music they listen to and they respond that they don't.

Who/what has been your inspiration?

My friends who actually appreciate me, the people I love, my brothers, my ambition to make sure my children have a, I wouldn't say better, because in all honesty other people have had worse childhoods then mine, but a less stressful childhood. I grew up too quickly, I want to make sure my kids don't.

When in your life did you ever feel so bored and lonely that you took almost everything for granted and you felt being "suffocated"?

Basically, my entire life, up until...oh end of November. I woke up. I had grown so used to the fact of everyone hating me, and then I met two people, who completely changed my outlook on myself. They say that you have to like yourself before anyone can like you, and that's not true at all. Sometimes you need someone to show you its okay to like yourself before you can. And at home, I learned to laugh and live when I got mugged. After it happened, I realized all I wa sthinking about was all of the things I haven't done yet, and all of the things I could have done.

at least you have a sence of humor

I've learned to laugh at things, its much more fun that way.
