Broadcasting Brain

Today on Catch the Brainwaves we’re featuring Mimzie, a witty and gut-bustingly funny blogger. Her writing is energetic, creative, and occasionally (OK, often) oriented towards adult topics, but it’s always a great read. Her Friday advice columns are not to be missed! So, without further ado, catch her brainwaves!

1. You’re a Southerner now working and living in the NY/NJ area. What’s the best thing about that?

The best thing is that I got out of the south before I ended up pregnant and living in a trailer park. I’m not saying that’s what all of the south is like but. . .

2. What’s the worst thing about being transplanted into the NY/NJ area?

I miss my family sometimes - and the snow! Crap, I forgot about the snow. If I never saw snow again it would be fine with me!

3. Why do you use Blogger/Blogspot?

When I was starting out, it seemed like the easiest one to maneuver around and use. I’m not that computer literate as far as HTML and such, so I wanted to keep it as simple as possible.

4. How many people have you met through blogging or social media? How many have you met in person?

I haven’t met anyone in person, but I’ve made several friends through blogging. It’s amazing to me how many super nice and very helpful people are out there in the blog world. I love them all!

5. Your Ask Mimzie column is screamingly funny, yet not for the faint of heart. Do you EVER pull any punches in your writing?

I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m as sweet and as helpful as Dear Abby. Is that bitch dead yet? I should have her job!

6. You have a separate business website that is independent of your blog. Do those customers know about Mimzie’s Musings? If so, what do they think about it?

First of all, Muzings is with a Z. How am I supposed to be fun and quirky if you misspell it? Geez! How do you spell “misspell?” I never said I could spell! Shit, I spell musings with a Z, what do you want from me?!

Honey, I haven’t had a customer for my art work in. . . forever! I’ve tried not to mix the two - not sure why. I’d love to scrounge up some business for that. You guys head on over there (318x). I’m sure my manager would give you a discount on some of my paintings.

7. How are you able to stay on top of your comments? You seem to respond in five minutes or less! (Slight exaggeration, but still?)

I receive an email when I have a comment waiting and because I can’t leave anything alone and take care of it later (ADD.) I have to jump right over there and comment back. I’m a multi-tasking phenom!

8. Does your boyfriend blog? Is he ever tempted?

No, he doesn’t. He barely even reads my stuff much less come up with his own.

9. Pretend the Internet is destroyed overnight. What do you do the next morning?

Cry. That’s where I find my best porn! You can’t take that away from a girl!!

10. What one piece of knowledge, advice, or wisdom do you have to share with our readers?

F#ck what everyone else says. Can I say f#ck on here? Oh, f#ck it! If you enjoy writing, then keep doing it. Don’t be discouraged if no one is reading. If you’re good, they’ll find you eventually. If no one finds you then you probably suck and shouldn’t bother to continue. I mean, there must be something else you’re good at, right?

Thanks to Mimzie for being a great interview subject!
