Dear Nanny,

First off I want to say congratulations. You buying an IPAD has not only been inspirational but it’s a real testament to the fact that you have always challenged yourself to try new things and continue evolving regardless of the obstacles. I am beyond proud of you and love you more than anything.

I Blog (staceytheblog.tumblr.com), which you will quickly learn is a narcissistic act of pointless rants about how my mom “doesn’t get it” or “how being fat in high school made me an awkward adult”. Just remember I am a late bloomer and have finally been kissed.

I also make YouTube videos (youtube.com/staceymcgunnigle). These videos are filmed in my closet on random topics of my choosing which often lead to the occasional belch or swear word caught on camera. I apologize and hope you don’t feel sorry for me. I am doing okay…ish

 I am also on Twitter (@TheStaceyMcG) and have been known to Tweet about farting in public or judging people I find gross, smelly, or weird. I know people in glass houses should not throw stones but sometimes the internet is a seductive beast and people on the TTC can be real assholes.

And last but not least my Facebook. Presently, I use this mainly as a stealthy creep machine, lurking on people that I usually loathe but can’t delete because I need to know that I am better than they are, and when I say better I always mean thinner. My Facebook has been active for many years and has seen me through some tough shit. The statuses from 2009/2010 should best be ignored as I know song lyrics played a major factor in their creation. My Facebook is also filled with embarrassing photos of me in interesting environments and with questionable company and are usually of me drinking beer not in a glass, which I know you always insist I do.  

You raised me well Nanny and I just want you to know that I really try to be a lady but sometimes I fall victim to the Internet and her opportunistic quality. I blame no one but myself. I wanted to be upfront and give you the links not just because I need the traffic (which means people going to the sites) but because I want you to check out these Internet hubs that have helped me find my voice which you have always encouraged me to find. I just hope you can forgive me for my embarrassing choices and for dragging our family name through the mud.

To be honest these admissions are just the tip of the iceberg. I wish I could hold your hand and protect you from the hackers, spammers, virus holders, and god forbid MySpace and LinkedIn requests but I can’t.  I urge you to explore and find out what’s out there because you are the bravest renegade I know. I trust you will take everything you read with a grain of salt and just because a link comes up and says you won a cruise I trust you will ask before clicking. Oh, and if you ever find the Internet to be too much for your little Scottish self never hesitate to pick up a phone and call me. I will help you anyway I can and am always here to take that IPAD off your hands if and when you ever find it useless.

Sincerely,

Your idiot granddaughter
