Lisa: hey!
Jamie: hi!
Lisa: how much time do youhave?
Jamie: until 8 when grey's anatomy starts hahah
Lisa: I didn't know that was back on. I'm so behind.
Jamie: it's only like three episodes in so you can totally catch up
Lisa: Okay. that wasn't the start.
Lisa: or should it be?
Lisa: Should this be super casual like, you're a guest on the late night show or something?
Lisa: and we end up talking about your recent break up instead of your new perfume or whatever?
Jamie: haha sure, jay leno mode or something
Jamie: but for the record, my new perfume is AMAZING
Lisa: yeah, haha. And I'll be all "why don't you ever wear underwear, COME ON" and you'll be like"Lise, I think we were going to talk about my new movie"
Lisa: Okay. So you blog at OhHowLovely.net. How long have you been blogging?
Jamie: well, started blogging on livejournal before i even knew it was "blogging" back in like 2002ish?
Jamie: and last year, i moved to wordpress
Jamie: and haven't looked back!
Lisa: Yeah, livejournal was the worst
Lisa: What got you started back in 2002?
Jamie: i'm really not sure. i knew a lot of people who had them and i figured why not? i was a freshman at DePaul and went to tons of shows and wrote about how annoying my roommated was
Jamie: i was totally convinced she was trying to be Jamie 2.0
Lisa: Did your roommate ever find the blog?
Jamie: i think she read it but once I started writing about her, it definitely became friends only!
Lisa: Who is the most awkward person that reads your blog.
Lisa: That question was poorly phrased.
Lisa: I mean like... somebody that reads your blog that you'd rather they didn't. Mothers, ex boyfriends, things like that
Jamie: well my boyfriend reads my blog and has from the start so i can't really write about our relationship much.
Jamie: well i guess i could
Jamie: but we dont really have problems or drama that i would be airing out, you know?
Jamie: other than him, nobody really. unless, people i know found it and just haven't told me!
Lisa: You pretty much blog once a day, right? Has it always been like that?
Jamie: when i started on WP, i'd blog at least once a day if not more. it was right around NaBloPoMo too so i"had" to
Jamie: and i felt like it was such a chore hahah and that i never knew what to write about
Jamie: but now, it's pretty much once a day.
Lisa: You have a few blogs, right? A shopping blog, a blog with a few other writers...
Jamie: oh god, yes. i'm all over the place right now. i'm probably totally annoying when i ask people to go read my posts elsewhere because there is too many
Jamie: but yes, i have my shopping blog, www.ohhowlovely.net/shops which is basically me being mad i'm not crafty
Jamie: so i'm forced to buy and covet cute stuff other people make that i can't
www.ummnowwhat.com is a blog with Brandy, Jess Writes, Princess Pointful, Chelsea Talks Smack and myself talking about what's it like being a 20something and things that we have dealt with
Jamie: i've sucked at updating thatone lately, i'm such a slacker
Jamie: i'm contribute to whosyourdachsund.com about my little fat wiener dog, Winston
Jamie: and lastly, I write about fashion and style for www.ronebreak.com
Lisa: That's lots of writing!
Lisa: Would you call yourself a writer?
Jamie: I KNOW!
Jamie: im a total slacker lately though
Jamie: i don't know if i'd call myself a writer. i think of it as something i aspire to be
Jamie: but right now, i just write
Lisa: You've been around 20sbfor a long time
Lisa: You even won an award back last January
Lisa: "most likeable"
Lisa: how did that feel?
Jamie: first off, i love 20SB. I'm so glad I ended up finding it. As for the award, I was really shocked!
Jamie: i was so new to 20SB
Jamie: and the others that were nominated were much more well known and just awesome. i really thought i had no chance
Jamie: it was a great feeling though. i was so excited!
Lisa: Describe your blog in 10 words
Jamie: oh gosh, that's hard! haha okay
Jamie: 10 random words? let's see
Jamie: random, silly, whiny, puppies, bad television
Jamie: that's a phrase haha
Jamie: but there is a lot of it on myblog
Jamie: fashion, shopping
Jamie: i really don't know, my blog is really random. im not a niche blog so it's just kind of everything!
Lisa: Is there anything else you want to talk about? Or anything you want to say to the 20sb community at large?
Jamie: im just really grateful i found the 20sb community. i'm amazed at how it's grown and i continue to be inspired by everyone. i've found so many great blogs and made so many friends, in real life and online friends from this community
Jamie: it's just a great bunch of people!
Jamie: im officially the most boring interview ever haha
Lisa: No, totally not!
Lisa: Okay, I guess let's wrap up, though
Lisa: Congrats on being featured blogger!
Lisa: Thanks for your time, and enjoy Grey's!
Jamie: thank you lisa!

Dear Jamie,
You are adorable. But I already knew that. Lets kiss, okay?
Okay.
Mmmmmkissymmmooooahhmmmkissy.
Too far?
Best interview ever.
And Jamie? Why DON'T you wear underwear? Gosh.
That was so cute! I like this new feature. :)
Jamie,
Your perfume smells like poo.
<3,
Maxie
(your most awkward reader)
What a really cool idea.
So is it just for new featured bloggers, or past featured bloggers too. And if it includes past featured bloggers, how about past featured bloggers who no longer blog... because you know, I might know one who would be interested.
Hey, great interview! I actually read the whole thing!
Too cute!
I'm glad we didn't end up talking about your new movie anyways ;)
And I nominate me as the most awkward person who reads Jamie's blog. For the record.
this is super cool. great idea!
I love this! This is fabulous. Great work ladies.
Jamie! Thanks for representing RoneBreak!
