This week we meet a GOLO member who has been with us since July 3, 2007, just one day after our launch. She's number 6 on the Top Posters of All Time list  (up from number 8 a few short weeks ago) and we can always count on her to post something interesting. GOLOers and GOLOettes...Meet, Blablah.

Angela: Let’s just jump right in Blablah. What do you like most about GOLO?

Blablah: Being able to comment on blogs immediately and see what others have to say as well.

Angela: How do you feel when you see that 100 percent of the people commenting disagree with you?

Blablah: It depends on what it is. If it’s religion race or politics, I try to stay clear.

Angela: But isn’t that where all the fun is?

Blablah: Not for me. At first it was but with all the members now it gets too heated so I try to stay away. Too many different opinions and some who think you’re wrong if you don’t see it their way.

Angela: What makes you tick?

Blablah: Happiness. Honesty. I believe 100% that a person should be honest and truthful to themselves and others.

Angela: Many people aren’t, so what’s so hard about it?

Blablah: Low self –esteem. Trying to look better in the eyes of others.

Angela: So you’ve never done that?

Blablah: Not by lying, no.

Angela: If you ran for president what would be your platform?

Blablah: I have no idea. I consider myself to be a peon in this world so I have no idea.

Angela: Are you a North Carolina native?

Blablah: Born and raised in Robeson County. I moved to South Carolina three years ago.

Angela: And you’re here on our local site?

Blablah: Yes. WRAL.com was the best way to keep up with the news and I still work in North Carolina. I was commenting before GOLO.

Angela: Why did you move to South Carolina?

Blablah: I moved because I met Naughty Monkey and bought a house in his hometown.

Angela: Did you guys meet online?

Blablah: Yes.

Angela: Details, details

Blablah: We met through Yahoo! Personals. He had his picture posted but I didn’t. After chatting back and forth for a few weeks I invited him to my job.

Angela: Were you relieved he wasn’t crazy?

Blablah: Yes, he was a very polite approachable type person. He broke the mold as far as my thoughts toward men.

Angela: What happened after that first meeting?

Blablah: We met late August, he proposed in October and we married in March. 2005.

Angela: That was really fast!  

Blablah: That was fast for me because he asked me one week if I would be his girlfriend and I said I wasn’t ready. And then the next week he asked me to be his wife and I said yes.

Angela: That must have been one amazing week.

Blablah: No comment!

Angela: What would you say to people who are against meeting people online?

Blablah: As long as you’re being honest about yourself you can only hope the other is being honest and if you talk to them long enough you will get the sense if they are.

Angela: If your son did the same thing…met someone and wanted to marry her so quickly, what would you say?

Blablah: Let me check her out first

Angela: And how would you check her out

Blablah: I would drill her with a lot of questions and check into her criminal background.

I have friends in high places.

Angela: So what do you do for fun?

Blablah: Dance. I love to dance. And cook. I also like gardening.

We dance every Friday night right at home, where it’s safe and no one can laugh at you.

When I first saw Naughty Monkey dance, I said “I ain’t never seen a white man dance like that.” He’s a really good dancer.

Angela: Tell me two things you want to do before you die?

Blablah: Take a cruise and visit Germany to hopefully meet some of Naughty Monkey’s family.

Angela: You haven’t met his family?

Blablah: He is Cherokee, German and Caucasian. I haven’t met the German side.

Tell me something most people don’t know about you.

Blablah: I still have two baby teeth. I call them my vampire teeth.

Angela: What. Is that possible?

Blablah: The Navy told me when they did my dental imprints.

Angela: Okay. I don’t really know what to say about that. Tell me this: Do you have any regrets?  

Blablah: Yes. Not going to college right after high school. That’s regret.

I really wish I hadn’t done that.

Angela: Any message you want to send to your GOLO buddies?

Blablah:  I’d love to meet a lot of the GOLOers at a birthday bash I’m planning for Sessy and Naughty Monkey in October.

Angela: If you make it all expenses paid, you just might get it.

What will be written on your headstone?

Blablah: Laughs….

Still laughing…

“She was dearly loved and will be dearly missed.”

Angela: What makes you lovable?

Blablah: I love people. I do and I’ve had a really rough life myself. It’s a wonder I’m not a drug addict or six feet under with all that I’ve been through. There are a lot of good people out there. You just have to find them. I look beyond their eyes and find their soul.

Angela: You’re kind of deep.

Blablah: Yeah that’s probably why I don’t’ trust a whole lot of people.

Angela: Where will you be 25 years from now?

Blablah: Probably six feet under. I mean I am 43, and I still smoke.

Angela: There still time to work on that.

Blablah: Yeah, there is….

Angela: It’s been a pleasure

Blablah: Yes, thank you.
