FYMTQ: Jessica Gold Haralson

Hello Jessica Gold Haralson, congratulations on being the latest Tumblr follower of Young Manhattanite! We hope you enjoy your stay but don't get too cozy. We have a custom of alienating our followers (because we're immature and idiotic like that) but starting with you we're gonna offer a chance to get to know "the real you."

The Following Young Manhattanite Tumblr Questionnaire

What's your background?
Brooklyn via northern Mexico, er, Texas. I was raised on tacos and frequent beatings in South Padre Island, TX, the white-trash Spring Break capital of the world. Then I went to Penn. Now I'm pissing off my Bill O'Reilly loving dad by living in "Yankeeville."

Why are you following us?
Why not?

What era, day or event in blogging history would you like to re-live?
This isn't blogging per se, but I miss the charming naivete of corn-fed Alabamans navigating AOL chat forums. On second thought, maybe I don't.

Who do you consider to be the greatest blogger of all-time?
Your mom.

What's your blogging motto?
Your face.

Describe that low moment when you thought you just might have to leave blogging for good.
When your mom's face said I had to stop blogging about our time together or she would leave me.

What was the last thing you read on Gothamist?
A Rachel Kramer Bussel interview from a million yearz ago.

If you could change one thing about blogging, what would it be?
Everyone would stop taking Twitter seriously.

What was your best or most expensive medication experience just after midnight on a summer Saturday?
I was anesthetized before getting a spinal tap a few Junes ago. Does that count? It was pretty expensive.

Would you consider dating one of us, only for 24 hours, if it meant the opportunity to meet the lowest branches of New York's reblogosphere?
Maybe, but only if your mom's face doesn't know.

Despite having started a college sex mag at Penn, Jessica Gold Haralson is NOT the next Julia Allison or Emily Gould.
