Welcome…
August 15th, 2007
By way of introduction, I’m Ann Marie Moreno, a 28 year old So. Cal-based public relations and marketing professional, freelance copy writer and one-time proficient dancer, with a healthy disregard for the rules of grammar and spelling, and a perhaps slightly less healthy affinity for my blue merle Australian Shepherd, British Racing Green MINI Cooper S. and collection of so-ugly-they’re-fashionable winter coats - and this is my website.
Initially functioning as an informal web log, this site is now home to a few remaining blogs and a gaggle of candid photos (which I will continue to add to).
Reader feedback once hailed my blog as:
“A fresh perspective - brave and unabashed in its honesty”
“A Sex In The Cityesque account of a young woman’s trying world“
“A very real report of youth and ‘the female condition’ in our scary modern social landscape”
“Pretty good … for a girl”
So, why have I stopped writing?
Because, it was time.
I now feel it a better use of my energy to focus on projection for the future rather than reflection of the past.
This blog was an outlet for the happenings of my life, a social experiment that I found cathartic and ironic, as my career path demanded me to sell other people’s strategically crafted messages for a pretty penny, this online journal allowed me to give away my own personal truths for free.
But now the experiment is completed - the findings are in, the research comprehensive and the data fully analyzed. All this, in concert with the acquisition of a few creepy stalkers, a newly increased car payment and a desire for heightened internet anonymity has lead me to offer my opinions and perspectives only when purchased.
That said, I’d like to thank my past readership and supporters for their interest and assistance, as well as welcome new visitors. I wish you all well, and (provided you’re not one of the aforementioned “creepy stalkers”) I hope our paths might someday cross in a less “virtual” environment.
All the best!
So it’s all gone huh? More trouble than it was worth? Not surprising considering the nature of the subject matter but still kinda sad. You can’t be blamed for wanting to grow up and put all that stuff behind you but some of them were very well-written stories.
Well, good luck with whatever replaced this. Merry Christmas and such.
Hey you remember that time we were e-mailing each other and you were trying to end the conversation so you said i should make my own blog and i was like, “blogs are for chumps” and that ended the conversation?
Well guess what i have my own blog now!

I hope you like basketball.
Haha…welcome to Chumpsville sir.
I’m not the biggest basketball fan, but my man follows it pretty regularly, maybe I’ll swipe your insights and pretend they’re my own - you know like any good girlfriend would do;)
Uh, that’s worded somewhat awkwardly but … Sure, have a blast!
Yep, “chump” is a good word. It’s so versatile: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7-9VUvlrFs
I think that’s the true test of a quality slang word. If you can’t customize it, there’s no way it’ll last. Way back in high school, one of my friends used to call people “foolio” whenever he was trying to make a point. Dumb, i know - but i still remember that, only cuz one time he was arguing with some girl and ended up calling her “foolia.” He was a white guy but he’d been taking like two years of Spanish or something. Anyway it’s pretty tough for someone to construct a counterpoint when they can’t stop laughing at having been called a foolia.
Wow, i just noticed that you kicked down a link over on the right. That’s rather generous of you. I’m not entirely sure what i did to earn it, but i appreciate the gesture regardless.
Let me know if you think of a way for me to repay the favor. I’m sure you get a lot more hits than my new blog does at the moment, so a return link wouldn’t exactly constitute a fair trade. Cuz i’m all about fair play, 110%.
Alright, you think it over, let me know. I’ma go back to watching more Laker game with “Sportsmanship(c) NBA Cares(tm)” plastered all over the place. Not that it’s getting to me or anything …
So, Ann,
Urge to write and boyfriend, mutually exclusive?
So, everyone else,
Am i talking to myself? There must be other people who still check by here. Otherwise she wouldn’t be complaining about having stalkers.
Then how come everyone else remains silent? If she’s not gonna write, we gotta amuse ourselves somehow. Or is it nothing to say?
Come on, i know she’s intimidating with her prom queen self, but hey you can talk to me. I’m a nobody. Further still, i’m five for six here. You can’t possibly embarrass yourself any worse than that.
(Btw Ann, i won’t be offended if you reject anything i submit here or if you delete any older mumbo jumbo. It’s all impulsive and disposable.)
