theGretch is a forced to be reckoned with. A fierce friend and far more fierce designer, she doesn’t let anything hold her back and certainly doesn’t resist to tell people like it really is. The official “fix-it” girl of Philippi, she solves your problems by day and creates websites, video montages and scrapbooks whenever time permits…for a small fee, of course. Secretly a ninja and successor to Chuck Norris, Gretch may or may not be the kind of jerk who writes about herself in third person…

Wooow, I hate children...especially horny, thirteen year olds. God, I swear, just last year, my mom's friend's kids were really good kids. I mean, they were boys so they were obviously overactive, but you could sit them down to watch a movie or play games and they'd be fine. This year, Betsy stopped by with the boys and gag me with a spoon, Rowan's all into my little sister. Jesus, almost literally, he tackled her every chance he got and was constantly hitting on her. Don't you remember that awkward age where you've just gotten old enough to be datable and the guy that won't stop making passes at you is the hugest douche bag ever? I would have ended the travesty right there, but it was pretty fucking funny. And oh god, of all things I happen to be playing when the boys come upstairs....Laura Croft. Just wait a minute while I pull the spoon out of the back of my throat so I can shove it up my ass!!!!!
So of course the entire time their up there they make cracks at how hot Laura is in her low-cut black ensemble she's wearing, so I change the outfit to a buttoned up snow suit and they can't get over how much her boobs jiggle. I tried changing games and Rowan convinced himself that he could beat me at SSX which is just not possible. Whilst kicking his ass...8 times in a row... my sister at one point said, "dude, you're so not going to win this one, he's right behind you." to which I replied, "Pih-shaw, that's not possible. Besides, this is my lucky song (the song that was playing on the game at the time, and i suggest you check out the music featured on SSX because it's never not aweseome)." Just when I thought a thirteen year old boy couldn't be any more of a pain in my ass, out of nowhere, Rowan blurts, "Know what my favorite song is?"
"Do I care?"
"Crazy Bitch". Okay, let me take a moment to say that even though my mom was downstairs, I still live in a house where if I say crap more than three times in one day, I get the crap beaten out of me... and because my mom's psychotic like she is, we're just not allowed to say that kind of stuff out loud. So the tittle alone was enough for me and my sister to cringe, wondering if mom heard that because, you know, douche bags are never quiet ones, but then he went and started screeching the whole first verse!!! So I smacked him in the face, kicked his ass one last time and he went home. *phew* And hopefully I won't have to see him again for at least another year.
