I was wondering if anyone had any experience with co-parenting, that is multiple (as in more than just a mom, dad, and in the case of extended families, other relatives) people coming together to raise a child?

How would they advertise your film? Would the ads feature goofy moments? Would there be lots of action? What would they change, or over dramatize? Would the advertisement be dead on, or would they screw it up? In my case I am...

Do you feel pressure to act a certain way?

Dedgurlsingstheblus @Dedgurlsingstheblus (233) • United States 3 Feb 10

As a little kid I was a tomboy. I played football, I wrestled with boys, and I got really, really dirty. My grandmother hated that. She always told me to sit up, stay clean, and act like a lady. I got this my whole life, she still...

Something You've Never Seen In A Movie

Dedgurlsingstheblus @Dedgurlsingstheblus (233) • United States 26 Jan 10

I was wondering, when you are blogging for cash what kind of things do you like to write about? Are the things you write about in your blog the same kinds of things you enjoy reading offline or in other people's blogs?
