I haven't been online too much in the past few days (moving sucks!) so, now that I'm logged in and such, I'm searching for stuff that is both interesting and fun.
Unfortunately, I'm only finding articles that register under the "interesting" category.
Raychel Coudriet, Tiger Woods' 22-year-old neighbor, slept with the superstar golfer when she was 21, according to the National Enquirer. RadarOnline reports that Coudriet recently confronted Woods "because she was furious that she was just another conquest."
Oh, well, that's comforting, Raychel. DID YOU NOT KNOW THAT THIS BILLIONAIRE WAS MARRIED?! Or do you just pretend to be that stupid?!
When I was 21, I can't say that I was extremely brilliant either, I gotta say. Of course, at the time, I was also homophobic and mildly racist. None of us should be held to the same standard of living we were "equipped" with in our early 20s, as they will surely just come back to bite us in the collective ass.
I get that - I really do.
But, even at that age, I don't think I could ever (at least not with a straight face) try to convince myself/my partner/the world that I SINCERELY believed that my aforementioned sexual cheese whiz was better than that.
In my mind, anyway, the only possible ways for this to occur would be if:
- you are an extremely naive person,
- you are an extremely stupid person, and/or
- you believe literally anything anyone will tell you.
I grew up in Wisconsin, the daughter of alcoholic, non-accepting, and manners-enforcing German-Belgian Americans, who wanted nothing more than to shelter me from the hard world as it truly existed.
And that they did. For fucking 38 years!
I am not even kidding here. By the time I sincerely understood the world as it really was, I was 38-years-old: not exactly a spring chicken there, I realize. And so the past 3 years for me have been something of a literal wake-up call, in terms of realism and what that word means for my life. It hasn't been fun at all times, and it hasn't been interesting at all times, but it has really been very enlightening.
Given how I was raised, however, I fail to see how Raychel Coudriet could have missed certain signs. Like, oh, I dunno, TEH MAINSTREAM FREAKING MEDIA!
According to the New York Post, Coudriet told Woods she felt "extremely violated by what you did to me." Before the alleged relationship deteriorated, Tiger reportedly sent her dirty texts, including, "Are you touching yourself? I want to f--- you."
Dumb. Dumb dumb ba da dum dum, ba da bud dum dum dumb!
When I was 21-years-old, if I had known that a married man I was attracted to had said/did this shit to me, do you seriously think that I would have (even remotely) fallen for it?!
Raychel, fucking seriously: stop watching Disney movies! They are not helping your real-world view here!
Gah!

Back in the day, I remember seeing this Love Boat episode, wherein the lead actress specifically dumbed herself down in order to attract men. I was probably 9 or 10 when I saw this on TV and, truly, I was mystified. I kept thinking to myself, "Why would she do that? That's just stupid!"
Sadly, ladies and gentlemen, I give you Raychel Coudriet. Either she's the stupidest girl in American history, or she's just trying to make a fast buck out of her inevitable 15 minutes of fame.
Or both.
