I swear to god…I deal with this kind of stuff ALL the time. Thank you so much for showing me that you are also a female who doesn’t put up with garbage. It doesn’t mean that you’re a bitch. It means you are strong and not going to give in to being submissive and coddling any man’s ego. You called him out on his shit instead of praising him and he didn’t like it. He doesn’t sound very smart anyway— you will end up with someone better in the long run. I’m doing DMAC too ;) rather be alone than unhappy. Don’t settle ladies til you get what you want!!

Now I think I have an idea of why you pooofed and went away.
I had a whole bunch of shit i wrote that turned into rambling like it usually does, I’m not as verbally masterful as your other followers. Just know that no matter the forum/website or media outlet (pics or words) that I’ve followed (stalked (in a nice way)…chased) you on, one thing has always been constant. You are you. Never a “HEY HEY look at me..I’M RIGHT HERE and give me attention” type of person. More of the “Hey, I’m Julene…this is me” You’re being your harshest critic is even refreshing in that it never turned into a low-self esteem and I need someone to tell my pretty things (again, see first quoted line) for of conversation. You use to to drive you, never settling for what’s now and easy, but what’s next and better. Hence the current location full of seasons and subways. Wish I could live up to that myself.
Like the folks said, if you shall go, you shall be missed even by those of us that have only enjoyed little snippets of the amazing girl, intelligent…driven…and beautiful (i stroke egos whether they need them or not) Julene.

I’m sure I forgot things I meant to say, but either way glad to see you are surviving and enjoying NYC, your corner of the world there is much better with you there. Continue being you online or in real life and write about anything and everything you want. It’s yours and we’re just the guests along for the ride.

Okay I ramble and use () in appropriately. Bye now.

I need to amend that. You’ve never “just been text”. I didn’t continue to follow you because I like to read. You’ve always been a real person. That’s what I like about you. We’ve never met, and we’re not remotely pals. Nor have either of us ever made an attempt to really get to know each other. But I have enjoyed the glimpses that you’ve chosen to share (my favorite story you’ve ever told was the time your phone was stolen and a girl named Shananay claimed it was hers). Indeed, you are more than mere 0′s and 1′s in the pixel forest. I hope I didn’t give that impression.

I met you in a place that I never expected to be at all, let alone have the position that I had. I wasn’t there for the normal reasons. I didn’t even know you had a flickr account. (I actually would have loved to have seen that. I know you once worked with a photographer that I used to like.) You’ve pretty much just been text to me for years.

I’m going to agree with Louis. If you should move on, I’ll miss you, but I’ll wish you the best.

I remember when you used to self refer as an “internet nudist” or something. I’ve noticed the downswing in your exhibitionism, but I just assumed you were getting…wiser. I never did follow your blog because you’re a hot piece of ass, although I suppose that didn’t hurt.

Your blog is interesting because you think actual thoughts. That may well be a curse, but there’s no going back now.

I used to follow the blogs of a fair number of insightful people, but most have vanished. If you do drop out, all the best. Louis.

I read that essay at 14 or 15 and never forgot it.

You are on the right track to being a successful, yet succinct, writer.

That guy really can’t spell for crap can he?

I cannot understand half the shit he is apparently trying to say in those texts.

PS. I like to think that guys don’t actually say things like that, just idiots and douche-bags.

While I’m a big proponent of learning proper English (and I’m talking about grammar and spelling, not attacking internet shorthand), I’m also big on knowing HOW to break the rules.
It’s a matter of knowing your audience. There is an often quoted phrase, questionably attributed to Winston Churchill, that reads, in variations, “Not ending a sentence with a preposition is a bit of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put.”
One could add to that, “Eschew obfuscation”. ;)

Just make your point. But don’t butcher the language in the process. In fact, be as succinct as possible, but also know the definition of “succinct”.

In the above paragraph, I used the second person to make my point. That’s because it would seem artificial to say, “One should always strive to simply make one’s point.” But I also didn’t say, “Just say y’all’s shit, yo!”
