Julia Allison: i just flipped my shit at denton
Alex Balk: What happened?
[redacted conversation with Nick], which ended with ... Julia Allison: Now get my FUCKING name off your FUCKING site
Alex Balk: Did he respond?
Julia Allison: no
Julia Allison: i'm ... like... shaking
Julia Allison: after everything he's put me through
Alex Balk: He doesn't care about you, you know.
Julia Allison: you know what's crazy? I don't think I did know that.
Julia Allison: I assume everyone cares.
Julia Allison: I don't know why.
Alex Balk: Hahaha. That's very you.
Julia Allison: Do you think he was getting back at me for this? http://juliaallison.tumblr.com/post/23782961
Alex Balk: I don't think he cares enough, actually.
Julia Allison: I don't understand that mindset.
Julia Allison: and I never will.
Julia Allison: I never thought he was evil until now
Julia Allison: What did I do to him to deserve this?!?!!?
Alex Balk: Again, you're assuming you did something.
Julia Allison: in my world, when you are punished you did something to deserve it
Alex Balk: Not in his, though.
Julia Allison: DOES HE HAVE ANY MORALS AT ALL????
Alex Balk: His own.
Julia Allison: I'm really sad. I feel betrayed.
Alex Balk: Well, remember that next time.
Julia Allison: next time I ... what? WAKE UP???
Alex Balk: Chin up, sweetie. It'll be alright.
Julia Allison: well, as Noelle Hancock told me once "karma's a bitch, and she buys roundtrip tickets."
Just out of curiosity, did she ask her conversation partner if she could make this private conversation public? I am guessing not, as she livesher life as though she is being filmed for reality television, notwithstanding the fact that she has been rejected by numerous networks because she just isn't that interesting.
It makes you wonder. Does everyone who has an IM conversation with her suspect that she will make it public? How disrespectful is it to her quasi-friends that she sees every conversation as fodder for her blog? Does she have any conversation privately and without threat of publication?
This is the same girl that had no qualms about revealing private and personal information about her ex. Karma is indeed a bitch, and I suspect there are plenty of people out there with JA tales to tell. I pity the person that has any conversation with her, expecting privacy. She only exists online.

Introspection Is For Fatties

College Roommate: She's gained 15 pounds since they started dating.
Me: Of course - you gain weight when you're happy! I got up to 142 when I dated Alex. I'm 122 now.
College Roommate: Wow. You were twenty pounds heavier!?!
Me: Yeah. That's the price you pay for joy.
Fascinating that you and your BFF spend your time discussing about other women's weight. You would almost think that someone who professes to have suffered from bullimia wouldn't be so quick to judge another woman's weight gain, but then again, she isn't you. She hasn't suffered or endured the way you have. You have a legitimate reason for weight loss - you were publicly revealed to have no sense of decorum when it came to the personal matters of someone who dated for attention.
You might find it surprising that some people don't gain weight when they are happy, as introspection is usually calorie-free. Nevertheless, playing victim and claiming weight-loss as a result looks good on you, and certainly avoids that whole uncomfortable business about you revealing private confidences about someone you loved to garner public sympathy. And seriously, who needs that kind of self-awareness when you can post pictures of yourself looking thin? No one, I say. No one at all.
