Reblogging Julia
A critical analysis of the public ramblings of the creature formerly known as Ms. Baugher, who provides a manic amount of content to parse.
Every little thing she does is tragic.

What a difference a year doesn't make.

To: JakobI think it’s strange you’re still hung up on that! It was three months ago. No one cares about it!!
It was a year ago, JA. I’m sure no one remembers it, or the egregious breach of common sense and decency in her Gawker post, but I am sure no one cares about it. Double exclamation points.
You are clearly evolved and different now. No more posting dozens of pictures of you in a tacky Barbie dress. No more mentioning of the long ago, cancer fighting ex when you need sympathy. No more tweeting for hopeful jealous reactions. No more passive aggressive bitchslapping with your “business partners,” who seem anything but in lock step.
You are pretty much the same girl who would still send this email if she wasn’t worried that her ‘lifecast’ might get derailed by reality. Or Gawker. Sorry about that. I wasn’t after attention, but that concept might as well be in Chinese for you. You don’t evolve, just preserve, and you should probably stop with that whole “I have never had work done.” Your off-insurance doctors don’t believe in HIPPA. You probably need to look that up.
It is almost like The Secret isn’t really a business model, and the MacAir was just a trendy, early adpoters stunt (Ask Meghan and she can Google it for you). I am certain you are grateful to me to be the custodian of your memories.
