Meet Anissa
You know you are going to be good friends when your new relationship is founded on vampires. Why? Well, because vamps are where it’s at, yo!
I met Anissa in Room 704. The original Room 704 at Blissdom09. There she sat, on the edge of the bed, all busty and beautiful. I had just thrown back some drink that VDog-the-Cracker gave me, I was tired, a little punchy, and I don’t know how it happened but someone said something about Twilight.
Anissa was talking about Edward and next thing I knew I was standing behind her.
I whispered, “Say it.”
Nothing.
“Say it,” I demanded.
“Vampire.” she said in her best Kristen Stewart impersonation with a face that even resembled Kristen Stewart’s Oh-My-God-Someone-Farted-in-Here-Face.
We busted out laughing.
And that was it. Anissa and I were bonded forever.
I’m thrilled that our relationship has gone above and beyond vampires. Though, if she’d be willing to pretend she was Bella, I’d be willing to don some fangs and bite her on the neck, all rough and shit.
In all seriousness… I am honored that Anissa asked me to be part of her new, awesome project.
It’s a site called Aiming Low. Here’s what it’s about:
It’s not about the failure to attain perfection….it’s about understanding that perfection is not only over-rated, it’s a big fat whopping lie-burger with cheese…and fries…and onions.
We are a group of women/moms/bloggers/friends/writers that believe that there’s no shame in serving mac and cheese for dinner three nights in a row, Febreeze was created to make a questionably clean shirt smell ready-to-walk-out-the-door-fresh and that slack isn’t a way of life…it’s an art.

Anissa and AL Girls: I look forward to aiming low with you,
but really we’ll be aiming high. Because we are destined for greatness.
Believe that!

Anissa is a gem; she’s one-of-a-kind. (As my goofy mom would say, “We’re not sure WHAT kind, but she is definitely one-of-a-kind.”) Seriously, she’s a special person. No wonder you’re friends :)
Anissa is hilarious! Love her!
Aw thank you lady for the shout out.
These posts are so beautiful.
Anissa is just fantastic, beyond awesome. And Aiming low is just as awesome! I loved it since the first read :-)
Love you, girl!!! And I will totally take you up on the roleplaying gig.
I am so glad I found your blog – AND it was this post! Off to visit Aiming Low!
Awesome post about a beautiful gal… and how awesome is the Aiming Low crew! Congrats on being a part of it!
I only just recently met Anissa too. After having seen her around everywhere in my “circle.” When we finally connected? I kicked myself for not knowing her sooner.
I’m going to french kiss you at BlogHer ’10 in hopes of you writing about me for a straight week.
I just spent the better part of the last hour skimming your ‘meet’ posts. You’re so lovely, you! I’ve been so removed from the whole blogging world lately and these were great!
Can someone please tell me how I haven’t met her yet? I feel like a loser! Oh, wait…
Mishi – This is seriously one of the BEST series I’ve ever read. You. Are. Amazing. I’m so stoked to be working with you!
How is it possible that I didn’t know you and Anissa BOTH have a thing for vampires just like me? I feel like if I had more than 5 minutes with you we’d be soul sisters.
