About Me
- Name: Aunt B
- Location: Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Like Donnell Alexander says, "It's about completing the task of living with enough spontaneity to splurge some of it on bystanders, to share with others working through their own travails a little of your bonus life." But, it's mostly the kind of place that folks looking for "girls and cars" stumble across by accident.

THE CAST OF CHARACTERS
Aunt B.--Your kind host.The Butcher--My youngest brother, who lives with me and works as, you guessed it, a butcher. He knows everyone in town.
The Recalcitrant Brother--Our middle brother, who lives in rural Georgia and has a kind of movie star life, if that movie star is Burt Reynolds in Deliverance.
The Reverend--Our Dad, a Methodist minister, perpetually three years from retirement.
Mom--Our Mom. She doesn't get a funny nickname because our mom will not stand for funny nicknames.
Mrs. Wigglebottom--My dog. She's got terrible manners.
The Corporate Shill--Or The Shill, as we call her. My friend from college who was constantly getting me into trouble and going to parties she neglected to tell me about where cute boys would ask her "Where's Aunt B.?"
The Legal Eagle--The Shill's husband.
The Super Genius--She lived next door to me my freshman year of college and we've been friends ever since my first day on the floor.
Miss J.--My first adult friend, meaning the first lasting friendship I made after college. She was my roommate in grad school.
Her Lover--Her Husband.
The Divine Ms. B.--Miss J.'s sister and one of my heroes, because she's brave and funny and mystic and fearless.
JR--My oldest friend. I've known her since I was in the second grade.
Elias--JR's husband and the person who's musical tastes have most strongly affected my own. Oh, how I long to be cooler than him!
The Professor--My closest friend here in Nashville. She's a genius, but she'll never tell you that.
The Man from GM--I've known him since I was 16 and he still hasn't forgiven me for telling him I was a vegetarian when I wasn't.
The Redheaded Kid--No one knows where he comes from or where he goes when he leaves here. I assume he's the Butcher's friend. The Butcher assumes he's mine.

Awww...I thought you were referring to me as the other young B., but alas. You wish to make out with Beyonce instead. Sigh.
-The Divine Ms. B
We should have anti-Christmas bloggers party.
My friend Boris is trying to get me to throw 'a raging kegger where the girls go wild'. If somehow we could conflate these two ideas....
while I lorded my tits over Nashville
Now that's something ya don't read every day.
"I wish for the return of Jon Jackson or at least a career retrospective."
Indeed. Does anyone know what's happened to him? His was the first blog I ever read, forwarded to me by an equally acerbic friend.
Ms. B, I would make out with you any day of the week; don't doubt that.
Fritz, what? So you could make noises like you were coming but not actually show up so I spend the whole evening asking young good looking boys accompanied by other young good looking boys if they are you and getting shot down? That's not that much fun.
Amanda, if you do, count me in.
Boy Scout, and to think that some people don't get anything out of my writing.
Nancilator, I've just sent him an email to an old address I had. I'll let you know if I turn up anything.
i just got edified by that 'lord my tits' comment.
John, make sure your edification doesn't lead to any sexsomnia tonight. That would be tragic.
I can come this time...if it's on a mutually agreeable date and you promise to hook me up with the red-headed man/boy.
My nickname was Ratz and if you were to make it to the Rutherford County Blogger and Podcaster's meeting I might be able to teach you to kick someone in the face as I am skilled in kicking folk in the face.
My secret email address is ratzisme@gmail.com. Oops.
My nickname was derived from the fact that it was terribly humorous to me how Renfeld (sp?) said the word rats in the old dracula movies.
We were thinking about having a party after we moved into our new apartment. But that quickly turned into "Well, we'll have a party once we actually get our stuff unpacked."
Now sadly that has turned into "Well, we'll have a party once we clean our new apartment."
But maybe, just maybe..
Dearest B.,
I'm touched by the sentiment. As you may have guessed, I'm no longer working at Satan's corporate headquarters, due in no small part to the blog previously known as crap and drivel. Apparently one cannot threaten to stab one's co-worker with a letter opener without severe repercussions, even if one does so annonymously. More to follow. Thanks again for the kind word.
-Jon
Jon,
Shit, it's good to see you're still around. But fuck me, if I had known I was going to get all my Christmas wishes, I would have asked for some money, too.
