This one is waaaay too easy. In fact, since we’ll be seeing a lot of Beth this week, let’s let her friend do the introduction:
“I suppose it might be unfair to submit Beth as a facebraggart, if only because she is so clearly mentally ill. I’ve never met anyone who’s so convinced that their every thought and gesture is not only totally fascinating to the world at large, but utter genius as well. I’m not sure “narcissistic personality disorder” are long enough words to truly capture the extremes of her self-love.
A bit of backstory: she’s an unemployed editor who’s ALSO a “singer,” (though as far as anyone knows she’s never performed, she just spends time and money in “the studio” every other month or so), she has a long history of referring to someone she’s met once–always someone with a small to infinitesimal degree of fame–by their first name and calling them “my dear friend ________,” she considers herself the “best cookie maker alive.”
[…] She also loves to review movies and books that are months to years old, for no one/reason in particular.
I suppose this could all sound like small infractions, but they definitely add up. It’s not always totally evident from a single line or status update, but if you follow her for awhile, and if you read her (amazing) blog with any kind of regularity, it becomes clear who and what you’re dealing with. I have plenty more if you find her interesting.
I’m leaving her picture and full name so you can look into the wild eyes of insanity, and you can check out her blog if you so desire.
Thanks–love the site. Keep fighting the good fight.”
I think that’s enough for now. Beth, we’ll be tearing you apart throughout the week. And keep a plastic cover on that keyboard. Don’t want it getting too sticky from your own self-love as to prevent you from blessing us with these fantabulous status updates.
