Your art and <I>you</I> come across more <I>real</I> because of these shared experiences and emotions. I peek in your blog throughout the day, sometimes to get a reality check, especially if I have just read some blogger who seems to <I>only</I> have time to bake and sew (fun to read, but no soul sista of mine).<BR/><BR/>I DESPISE the term "No More Drama" because I think it's a cop-out for people to use when they don't want to be a friend who listens or cares. Your "drama" is your LIFE and your LIFE is reflected in your ART, so girl, BE THE DRAMA QUEEN!BellaKarmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03154965463697984614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-29578407506661251582007-10-17T11:15:00.000-07:002007-10-17T11:15:00.000-07:00Leslie,I've never thought of my life or as my blog...Leslie,<BR/><BR/>I've never thought of my life or as my blog as having a lot of DRAMA to it as you say. My life is no more or less a drama than anyone else's. I'm telling the TRUTH. THIS is what happens to me. People who don't live in apartments-people who don't rent-should KNOW what happens. I don't post stuff like this for a pity party. I don't need a fycking pity party. I want people to realize that this kind of stuff goes on all of the time. My next door neighbor summed it up best one night-He was out at after 11 moving his trash bins around Very loudly and making a ton of noise like he usually does after hours. The lady in the apartment downstairs asked him nicely "I have to go to work in the morning, could you please be quiet I'm trying to sleep." My "Neighbor's" comment was-" YOU rent. I own." That was it. So this is the kind of shit that a lot of people have to deal with-myself included because we RENT and we don't have the money to OWN.<BR/><BR/>Guess what? I can't move. I can't afford it. My rent is "low" compared to the $1500-3000 apartments around me. There's absolutely no way I can move out of here at the moment. Why is rent so ridiculously insane?? If I didn't have this dump over my head, we'd probably be homeless. Why is housing not thought of as a necessity? <BR/><BR/>If you don't like my blog, don't read it. Move on. Stop bitching and moaning.Kelly Kilmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07002300626700548709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-9622480027115705052007-10-17T10:26:00.000-07:002007-10-17T10:26:00.000-07:00I think you need to rename your blog: the crazy m...I think you need to rename your blog: the crazy mixed up life of kelly kilmer. It's one thing after another with you. So much DRAMA. Move if you don't like where you're living. Ever considered that? I bet you have hundreds of reasons why you are STUCK in that exact spot. Come on. Stop bitching and start making changes. Think how much happier you'd be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-29721420895909470302007-10-16T16:31:00.000-07:002007-10-16T16:31:00.000-07:00Oh Kelly...

We're tired of being the ones to have to complain about shit needing to be done. We're the only ones to complain about necessary stuff...everyone else is "afraid to rock the boat"-NOT my words THEIR words. West Hollywood gave this landlord a loan to buy this building and another building-a loan that is over a million dollars and they have 97 years to pay it back. This dump! We've stood our ground over the years and were almost evicted 'cause the landlord held onto our rent check and claimed that they hadn't received it so that they could kick us out so that THEY could raise the rent.Kelly Kilmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07002300626700548709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-45358457739512732172007-10-16T09:09:00.000-07:002007-10-16T09:09:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kelly Kilmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07002300626700548709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21078238.post-65897334931823488582007-10-15T21:21:00.000-07:002007-10-15T21:21:00.000-07:00Wow.Come up for air Kelly !Can you report your lan...Wow.<BR/><BR/>Come up for air Kelly !<BR/><BR/>Can you report your landlord to some city agency?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
