So, it’s been a week or so since I’ve done a blog post, and even longer since I’ve done a consistent schedule of blogging. While I do feel guilty about not giving my blog the attention it deserves, I at least have an excuse.

Good things have been happening.  And they’re right when they say good things come in threes. Well, I think they say bad things come in threes too, which makes sense when you consider what I deem as “good things”. Starting with the first one.

1. Sammi Sweetheart Tweeted Me.

Yes! Sammi of the Jersey Shore herself! (Now you understand what I mean when I say one person’s good thing is another one’s bad thing.) So let’s get the back-story out of the way: I flipping love Sammi Sweetheart. I’m not sure how it happened or why, but my guess would be her tolerance of Ronnie throwing things, cursing his mind off and trashing their home reminded me so much of my childhood with an Italian father that I simply could not help but relate to her. You will also often catch Sammi not wearing heels, even to a club! There’s a role model I can get behind. Not to mention the fact that she is not Snooki gives her some points right off the bat.

So, as a Sammi Sweetheart fan, I find it is my duty to support her endeavors and try to get her to make as much money as the rest of the cast. (We’ll catch up to Snooki one day Sammi, we will!) When she had a jewelry line at RichRocksNYC, my mother and I made it our mission to order from it in bulk for Christmas. And when she had perfume for sale at Mandees via Dangerous Perfumes, I made it my goal to wear it daily despite the rash it gave me. (The perfume is called Dangerous. I thought to myself, “Literally.” But it is imperative that I say that since then the rash has never returned and the perfume receives consistent compliments.)

When Sammi tweeted and Facebooked that she and Dangerous Perfumes had another perfume out, I had to get over my fears that it would cause another allergic downfall to my body and week of turtle-necks and begged my mother to order it for me until she cracked. And luckily for me, my mother did just that! So when my autographed bottle of “Dangerous Desires” came in the mail, I simply HAD to share it with the Twitter world. After all, where else can you shamelessly promote all of your nerdy habits, hobbies and obsessions and be accepted for them?!

Immediately I alerted my twitter-feed, “Why yes, I *did* get a signed bottle of @MTVSammi’s perfume in the mail!” And as luck would have it…or shall I say, as fate would have it, she replied! What did she say? I hope you like it! What?! She said, “I hope you like it!” YOU as in ME. And like any true stalker fan, I kept the evidence.

(BTW, now would be a great time to ignore the ode-to-Michelle Tanner background on my Twitter page.)

With this new-found-excitement of having my favorite Reality TV celebrity tweet me, I decided I would share it on the next best Social Media outlet, Facebook. Now, while on Twitter it was okay for me to be the obsessed, crazed-fan I really am, on Facebook you have to try and maintain a certain image. So with a hint of self-deprecating humor I posted, “Sammi Sweetheart replied to one of my tweets. This is the greatest day of my life. (Shhhh, don’t judge me, you will ruin the moment.)”

The post was fine and dandy, as I got the praises and congratulatory remarks I anticipated, until people started asking what she said. Shit. On Twitter it’s expected that fans harass “celebrities” until they respond! On Facebook, they think she actually tweeted me because we are best friends who talk! What do I do now? It would ruin the moment to say, “Oh, she said that she hopes I like the perfume that I badgered her about receiving.” BUT THEY KEEP ASKING WHAT SHE SAID!

In the end I had to come clean, but that clearly did not stop this from being the first of several “good things” to come. But since this did take up well over 500 words, (I won’t even say the actual word count), I will save the remaining examples for another blog-post!

So, in conclusion, yes. Yes. I did just write an entire blog post about Sammi Sweetheart tweeting me. And let me repeat: Don’t judge me. You will ruin the moment.
