I'm Just A Girl Who Can't Say No - A New Story Virus and Unstoppable Meme

You know this is a crazy week for me. Insanely crazy. However, I have been tagged by someone that I have trouble saying no to.

I'm sure that you can understand...it is hard to resist the charms of a giant rock with a pipe sticking out of it. (Which, by the way - has a new enterprise that you might want to check out. Vote early, vote often!)

In any event, let me begin with the words of the great Splotch...

"I had been shuffling around the house for a few hours and already felt tired. The doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw a figure striding away from the house, quickly and purposefully. I looked down and saw a bulky envelope. I picked it up. The handwriting was smudged and cramped, and I could only make out a few words."(Splotchy)

Despite the throbbing pain in my knees and the dull ache in my lower back, I bent down slowly and picked up the envelope...

Oh no. It did not say this, did it?

Oh yes, it did. It did.

The handwriting was familiar in a way that inspired a cold sweat and a bout of nausea. It was the penmanship of my former husband. You know - the one that was presumed dead.

He disappeared in a suspicious blogging related accident a number of years ago and was never heard from again. I was devastated. I had hated the blog, loathed the thing. What began as a hobby that took but a few minutes a day had morphed into an addiction, the proportions of which could not be measured. It was pure evil.

The blog turned into a cruel and demanding mistress and her siren song was more than I could compete with. One day he left for an evening event, never to return again.

All fingers pointed to one blogger, but I could never get the charges to stick. That one is slick- slick, slick, slick. He can talk a good game and write like nobody's business. But there is something about him, it just is not right.

So my husband was gone, that other one kept blogging and I had to rebuild my life, which I did.

So I finally had the bastard declared dead.

And now this. (FranIam)


Okee dokee - who is next??? I tag the following people:
DCap
CDP
Jewgirl
Diane
dguzman
Wyld
Dr. Zaius
Germaine Gregarious

(I have a strong feeling those last two may also know the alleged whereabouts of the blogger formerly known as my husband...)

oh dear! I have another meme, too.

not today, dear.

but tomorrow...

I will add to the story.

CDP said...

I will do this tomorrow. I like this one, I was tagged the last time Senor Splotchy started the story virus, and it was fun.

Splotchy said...

Thanks for being infected.

With it being warmer and people not bustling about in such close quarters, I predict this virus might be contained a little better than the last one.

Stay strong, stay vigilant!

dguzman said...

Oh dear! Just when I was finally getting over this sinus cough thing! I will do my best.

Wyldth1ng said...

I suppose I did ask for it. My post is up.

Gee, Fran, I wish I knew what you were talking about, i.e. fact or fiction, etc. because I'm generally a helluva prolific commenter on people's blogs.
Alas, I may be articulate but I am way too obtuse to get it.

Dusty said...

FranIam..this is one funny post..it is supposed to be funny right? :)

Jan said...

I need to study this so I'll know what to do, as Wyld tagged me, which is partly YOUR responsibility, because you tagged him!

And thanks for stopping by today.

Dr. Zaius said...

Ack! I've been memed!

Germaine Gregarious said...

I have done your bidding. (Okay, Enrique did it but who cares? It's done isn't it?)

Bubs said...

I had no idea you were personally involved in such a mystery. I'm intrigued!

Diane said...

Ok, it's going to be a "lite blogging week" due to a fab continuing ed I'm doing, but I'm promise to do this today or tomorrow!
