Tres Bizarre Serious Interview Series: KrazyBlonde

I have a friend named Karen, who some of you know as KrazyBlonde, or KB. I met KB on the writer's website, Helium, in the chat forum. We spent some time in the garden, in the bar, in her room (which is where her blog title came from) and all over that forum together. For a while she, Missy (AKA Rebicmel, a blogger who is currently taking a hiatus to focus on her work at Helium and her poetry) and I were the three amigos.

Weeks (maybe months???) ago, KB and I were chatting via gmail and I had a revelation -- that I must start interviewing my online friends and posting them right here. It's sort of like what DutchBitch does when she pimps people out, on her Dutch-A-Pimpin' feature, except that she has like a million readers, and I have like twelve ... but twelve really good ones -- the BEST readers in the whole Silly World. Too bad eleven of the twelve already read KB's blog, but who knows, maybe some day a couple more will stumble into silliness and stick around and as a result visit KB.

She agreed to an interview a long long time ago and since we are both very busy ladies and because we have a 15 hour time difference (Her today is my tomorrow ... weiiiiirrrrdddd) it took until tonight to get it done.

It's amazing to me that KB, who is a bibliophile, a lush dedicated wine connoisseur, a world traveler, a doggie lover (Hi Coco!) and an all-out party girl who lives life to the fullest and has an overwhelming obsession with men in kilts, is a former banker, a stepmommy of grown daughters, or a step-step grandma. She just had a birthday ... but we covered that in her interview, so I won't dwell on the fact that she's 40.


If you haven't already entered KB's Room - DO NOT ENTER, then check it out and give her a great big Silly Hello and tell her Morgy sent you.

me: You don't mind if I drink during this process? Right?

Karen: bugga
I must drink too
is only fair

me: Sounds like a plan.


Karen: but it's only 2.30 pm

me: Oh yes. Such a time diff. Here, it's 9:30 PM ... Friday. You're Sat. Eh?

Karen: has the interview started yet giggles
yes it is Sat here
all day
for the record please excuse my spelling and I will try not to swer

me: 2:30 is a perfectly acceptable time to drink in my opinion.

Karen: swear even woohoo

me: You can swer or swear. Either of those things are cool. I don't know what swerring is, but I'm very open-minded.

Karen: I will tell you all about it another time in private

me: So ... let me just start by saying that Your birthday post was phenomenal.

Karen: aww thanks babe

me: How does it feel ... being ... dun-dun-dun ... 40?

Karen: the same as being 39 so far, except for the face creams people bought me, mocking me

me: Jerks. You are the least wrinkly 40 year old I've ever seen.

Karen: I have used one already and it was actually really good

me: Oh, do tell. What's the brand?

Karen: it's a facial scrub actually
sugar face polish
when I opened it up...I wasn't sure if I should put it on my face or eat it

me: Does it actually have sugar in it?

Karen: it has real sugar
am finding it hard to read the label
as I am so old now and in need of my glasses
sugar, grapefruit and orange


me: Oh no ... your vision has started to fail.
----
me: So ... KB. Tell me about your moniker. I think I know how you became KrazyBlonde ... but was there a definitive moment where you said, "I'm calling myself KrazyBlonde?" or did someone else give you that name?

Karen: Krazyblonde has been a name I have used for so long...I feel like I've always had it
some of my friends at work used to call me crazy and blonde
but crazyblonde was taken already on most sites
so I became Krazyblonde instead and of course that was shorten to KB so now it's KB mostly

me: What about "DO NOT ENTER"? What made you decide that?

Karen: when I first joined helium
this is so funny I can't type fast enough
helium where I met you...awwwww

me: Awwwwww ... <3

Karen: our friend Phil started threads with different rooms and I decided I wanted a room of my own so I posted do not enter and when I started my blog most of my friends there were from the helium site so it seemed natural to take the name and the do not enter with me I need a drink now after all that typing

me: It's kind of funny because though it reads, "Do not enter" -- at least for me -- it made me want to enter even more. ... :)

Karen: well of course, cause you are a naughty girl just like me hehe

Karen: I'm giggling so much cause I am not used to you being so serious

me: Here ... let me show you my boobs ...

OO

That better?

Where'd me nips go?

Karen: (o)(o)

me: Much better.

Karen: yes I feel so much better now
hey before we move on
when you mentioned missy
I was thinking back to the kilt days

me: Oh yes. Old Maverick.

Karen: yeah fun days aye

me: That was when our friendship was sealed. There was no turning back. I didn't want to go to bed that night. I wanted to stay up forever. So silly.

Karen: I must post the kilt pic on my blog actually
nah fun times
passes tissues
stop daydreaming and focus girl

me: * single tear * Okay ... back to seriousness ...

Karen: puts away boobies
----
me: You have an interesting life. You travel EVERYWHERE ... * Morgy super jealous *
Do you have a day job? Or a job outside the home? Or are you just a jet setter?

Karen: not any more
I used to work in a bank
don'tlaugh
I gave up work about a year ago
actually a bit longer
so I could concentrate more on travels
I was missing out on a lot of trips because I couldn't get time off work
and hubby and I thought it would make more sense to do our travels together while we are young
but now I am 40 so
lmao
hubby is a pilot

me: Ahhhh. And hubby has kids from a previous relationship?

Karen: yes indeedy

me: And grandkids?

Karen: omg now you are just makin me feel ancient
this will confuse you
ARE YOU READY

me: READY Spaghetti.

Karen: my hubby has been married before and has a step-daughter from his first marriage so he is a step grandad which I guess makes me a 2 step-grandma
if you can make sense of that
you are smarter than most people I tell
is the steam coming out of your ears babe?

me: I get it. I really do. That's cool that he is close to his step-daughter's child.

Karen: it's a big, confusing family for sure

me: Many step dads, when divorcing stepkids' moms break ties with stepkids. Let alone step-grandkids.

Karen: we went to her wedding last year
and it was so funny cause she had so many step dads there
her mum (my hubbys ex) has been married three times
it's all very interesting at family gatherings

me: I bet.
How many of them walked her down the aisle?

Karen: her mum did
smart girl aye?

me: Ah yes ... very wise grasshopper.

Shifting gears -- Tell me about the SHEEWEE ...

Karen: omg not the shewee

me: SheeWee


Karen: I have rename it the SEEWEE actually
as S E E is fascinated by the device

me: YES. She will appreciate this.

Karen: it is still unused
but comes up in conversation many times funnily enough

me: disappointing. I was hoping for a firsthand account.
I imagine it's an excellent conversation piece.
Do you store it on your coffee table?

Karen: I have seen a demo actually

me: No shit? Was it like a porn?

Karen: I do believe it came out at my bday party along with other various things which should have stayed in the draw:

me: Hahaha.

Karen: like porn with clothes

me: Oh ... You mean ... Ok ... I'm confused. You stick it in your pants? Yes? Hahahaha.

Karen: I didn't get a nekkid demo is what I mean

me: BORING! Was it a live demo? or a video?

Karen: live
stop makin me laugh so much
I thought we were being 2 serious blondes for once

me: It's toooo haaaaarrrd.
Ok.
Seriously ...

Karen: I'm not going near that last comment

me: This post ... was one of my faves.

Karen: oh I knew this post would come up

Karen: me too, it is displayed in my kitchen

Karen: I love shed girl cartoon

Karen: We all love Dickiebo
I used to call him Mr. BO
but then I realised it sounded like I was saying he had B O
lmao

me: Hahahaha. I'm sure he smells good. He probably smells like a shed. That'd be a nice manly smell. Right?

Karen: Yeah shame we can't smell ppl on the computer

me: Hahahah

Karen: dumbass
