Bristol misnamed her book. It should read "Not Afraid of Lies." Update!

Levi and Bristol

Lately there have been numerous topics which I have been wanting to address, but it seems that what everybody wants to hear about is whether or not Bristol's account is what really happened that night in the tent with my brother.

I guess I'll start off with her reference to the wine coolers being her "first brush with alcohol". If my memory serves me correctly, and remember I was the sober one, it was Bristol herself who was asking around trying to buy alcohol before they even started packing to go on this particular camping trip.

So I think it is clear that she was always planning to drink while they were camping. I know for a fact that my brother was not replacing her empty bottles with full ones, because Levi never liked her to drink since it just made her more promiscuous (Which those guys in Juneau will confirm, right Bristol? ;)

Bristol only has herself to blame for the amount of alcohol she consumed that night. Maybe she tends to forget that we still have mutual friends,  and that one of my good friends was actually there that night.

My brother also provided a recap of the night right after he got home. (Remember Bristol, Levi and I use to be best friends before you got your claws into him and forbid him to talk to me.)

When I first read this story it made me laugh out loud. Does anybody really believe a good Christian girl, such as Bristol claims to be, would really lose her virginity in a tent? I don't think so. Usually girls want their first time to be meaningful and special.

Besides there happens to be a small detail which Bristol chose to leave out. You see there was another couple right next to Bristol and Levi in that very SAME tent.

So the question we have to ask is, was the other girl also being "taken advantage of?"

Did she also have her "virginity stolen?"

Are we to believe that there were TWO victims that night?  Because that is certainly NOT the story that I heard!

As for the part about Bristol waking up alone? She seems to have conveniently forgotten the part where she demanded that Levi get up early and start a fire for her so that she wouldn't be cold in the morning. Yes, her rapist got up first thing in the morning, to cut wood and build her a warm fire, so that she would be as comfortable as possible that summer morning. It is remarkable how those Palins always twist the truth in order to constantly appear to be the victim isn't it?. Un-freaking believable.

As for that "rape" allegation, I have to wonder if any of the millions of girls out there who truly have been sexually assaulted take offensive at Bristol claiming that her consensual sexual encounter in that tent gives her the right to place herself in their company?  After all it is people like Bristol, girls who claim they were sexually assaulted when in fact they weren't, who give excuses for people to doubt the claims of REAL victims of assault or rape.

Personally I have never even heard of a single case where a girl continues to date her rapist for years, while enjoying an active and consensual sex life, and then actively TRYING to have a baby with this person who supposedly "took advantage of her". Are we to believe that Bristol was drunk on wine coolers throughout that whole relationship?

After I read Bristol's account I started thinking back to that summer. My mind was searching for every little thing I could remember, and remember I did..

One of the things that I remembered was that my much older cousin (he is in his 30's) came up from the lower 48 to stay in our house while working with my father. We made him a bed in our downstairs living room which happened to be very close to my brother's room. Apparently Bristol, the virgin, woke my cousin up several times with all of her .....well let's just say "enthusiasm."  And by the way this was BEFORE that now notorious camping trip!

The next morning my cousin called my brother aside and had a talk with him. I think Levi was far more embarrassed than Bristol was because the next night she wasn't any quieter.

Now I don't usually feel comfortable talking about another person's sex life. I never even liked talking about Bristol trying to get pregnant because I feel that's a very personal topic

However, after she made those hurtful and indefensible statements in her book about my brother, I decided no matter how uncomfortable I feel talking about this that it is something which I must do, because no one deserves to be accused of such a disgusting and horrendous thing. Especially not my brother who, believe it or not, truly loved Bristol with all of his heart.

A picture I took in happier times before the RNC.

Sadly it is now very obvious that his love was never truly reciprocated. Trust me, he would never do to her what she has so casually done to him. Never.

Update:

I am sorry that it has taken me such a long time to reply to your questions.

Because I have to type all my posts on my increasingly unreliable phone, it slows my response time down to a crawl. Frustratingly enough my computer is still not fixed (Apparently they are waiting on a part that's being shipped from overseas) Hopefully I will have it back in the very near future.

As for why I don't blog from the public library, or maybe a cafe, well because I've learned the hard way not to do ANYTHING on a public computer where there are other people around.

I'm not making any excuses, but let's just say that people around here can be kind of nosy.

Now on to answering some of your questions.

I apologize if that part about my cousin hearing Bristol making noise was confusing. I just tried to word things carefully because, like I said, I just flat out didn't feel comfortable saying she was moaning loud enough during sex to awaken people in the house.

And yes people, Bristol Pain DID stay the night at our house when she was younger.

Sometimes my dad would be up on the North Slope, and my mom in the hospital, or, if they were home, she would simply sneak through Levi's window.

Most times she would just stay really late, but because it was a school night, leave around 1-3 in the morning to sneak back into HER house before her parents woke up. (She was such a "good girl" wasn't she?)

Why was Levi wearing a ring on his ring finger? Simply because Bristol wanted him to wear it so the other girls knew he was taken. She also had it engraved, it said "I love you Bristol" in case he forgot I guess. I believe it was a birthday or Christmas gift, but NO they were never married.

Someone else asked about the custody agreement, especially the part about how how each parent isn't allowed to talk trash about the other parent, and wanted to know if that had been changed.

No, nothing has been changed as far as I'm aware. That's still the deal. But in case you all haven't noticed yet, the Palins are above the law. Essentially they can do, and say, whatever they want, and they don't even get a slap on the wrist. Yet if anybody even dares to frown in their direction they go after them with guns a blazing.

Believe me, I know ALL about that!

And finally let me address my "summer" camping trip statement, since some people thought I was talking about a different camping trip than the one which Bristol claims she was on when her virginity was "stolen."

I've lived in Alaska my entire life and I just consider Alaska to have only two seasons. It's either summer, or its winter here. For those of you who live in Alaska I'm sure I don't have to clarify that. For those of you who don't, I apologize and I will try to be more clear from now on.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your comments, I really do appreciate all of your support.

Anne Hathaway, Rio, animated box office

Anne Hathaway, In 2011, she had a voice role in the animated box office Rio.

Anne Hathaway plays in Rio as Jewel (Voice)

Rio, often promoted as Rio: The Movie, is a 2011 American 3D computer-animated musical comedy film produced by Blue Sky Studios and directed by Carlos Saldanha. The title refers to the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, in which the film is set. The film features the voices of Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, George Lopez, Jemaine Clement and Jake T. Austin.

Rio The film tells the story of Blu (Eisenberg), a blue macaw who is taken to Rio de Janeiro to mate with a female. He eventually falls in love with Jewel (Anne Hathaway), a free spirited macaw, and together they have to escape from being smuggled by Nigel (Clement), a cockatoo.

When dealing with certain people, playing by the rules simply does not work.

First I have to say I am very sorry for my long absence.

I was really trying to do everything in my power to see my nephew. If that meant not being able to blog in order to see him, then that was what I was going to do it.

As you all know family is number one to me, and always will be, and I would do just about anything for Tripp.

I have now reached the conclusion that no matter what I do I will not be allowed to see my nephew. I held up my part of the bargain and stopped blogging, but they couldn't hold up their part of the deal, and and have refused to let me see him.

I would gladly never blog again if that meant I could see my nephew, because that is all I've ever wanted.

Like I've said before, no matter what I do Bristol will always come up with some reason not to like me, and some excuse to keep Tripp away from me.

It is unfortunate she has to act this way and I'm starting to lose any hope that she will ever change.

I feel sorry for my nephew since he is the real victim here, and I have to wonder what she's going to tell him once he's old enough to ask about me, his aunt Mercede, and his other grandparents. She is not just keeping him from me, she is keeping him away from everybody on our side of the family.

Now that I know that I did all this for nothing it's open season.  From now on I  plan to write about anything and everything.

In the weeks to come I will be addressing some of the most recent news items and rumors about the Palins, as well as try to answer some of your questions about my family, my brother, and myself.

I appreciate how patient and supportive all of you have been.

Thank you very much,

Mercede

The Dark Knight Rises, as Selina Kyle/Catwoman

Anne Hathaway
will appears in 2012 The Dark Knight Rises film as Selina Kyle/Catwoman. Now it is in Pre-Production.

Yea... In January 2011, it was announced Anne Hathaway had landed the role of Selina Kyle in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises.

Recently, Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess share a kiss on the poster for One Day. As a huge fan of Anne Hathaway and an admirer of the mug on Jim Sturgess, we are really looking forward to their upcoming romantic film, One Day. A poster for the film debuted on Yahoo! Movies and it is lovely. Sure it looks rather simple and ordinary, but sometimes that's just what you need. One Day was directed by Lone Scherfig who also did helming duties on An Education.

Love, Lies, and the Drama of Facebook

I attempted to stay away from talking about Bristol on my blog recently but now I feel that I need to share something with all of you that has been happening behind the scenes.

You see I have a new man in my life and I could not be happier. In fact I have been so busy just being happy that I have not had time to write a post to share my good news with the visitors to my blog.

Anyhow without my knowledge Bristol has apparently gone behind my back and sent my boyfriend, Chris, lies about my good friend Jesse (Gryphen) and Dennis (Zaki) in an attempt to split us up.

Texting him things like "My brother is in the military, and I know you are a soldier as well. Since you are a patriot serving his country don't you think you deserve to hang out with a better class of people than somebody who would be friends with a pedophile?"

So I confronted Bristol about it on Facebook and here is the exchange. (P.S. You will have to excuse any spelling errors or punctuation mistakes, I was pretty upset when I wrote it.)

Mercede Johnston January 9 at 5:02pm

Bristol,

You are WAY out of line going out of your way to contact my boyfriend and spreading accusations. Mind your own business. Jesse has NOTHING to do with Chris. I've been leaving you alone and I expect if you do the same and stop going around talking shit about me in comments on Facebook. That's petty, immature, and what you are saying could not be further from the truth.

Just because you don't like who I associate with does not mean you have the right to try and bash him to my boyfriend. I don't know exactly what your intentions are but I would hope you could focus on other things instead of me or Jesse. Delete my boyfriends number, we don't need you trying to start stuff. I'm sorry if you aren't happy but we are beyond happy. You claim I'm "obsessed with you and your family" yet you are the one going out of your way to leave comments regularly degrading the aunt of your child and texting my boyfriend. You seriously need a reality check.

And one more thing Bristol. You said you feel sorry for Levi and Tripp because they are related to me by blood. Ha, well I know once Tripp gets older he will correct you. I know for a fact he loves me and will come to me when he is old enough to understand. You have no clue how good of an aunt I am to him because you can't look past all of that drama we had in our past. Which is so unfortunate because that's not what's best for Tripp. I hope one day you can put the past behind us for the sake of your son. As for Levi, he's lucky to have me as a sister and I am lucky to have him as a brother. You have no idea what you're talking about.

I have been civil with you and always will be, I can only hope one day that you will be too.

I sincerely hope you do have a good day and I really wish you'd talk with me as an adult.

Give Tripp my love.

Bristol Sheeran January 16 at 7:16am Report

You're are such a liar! You continue to amaze me with your compulsive lying and pure stupidity. You are no where near "civil" with me. You have a blog dedicated to talking shit. You are so strange and like I've said multiple times, you need to get a job, or a hobby, or something; you are obsessed with me! You stalk FACEBOOK all day everyday to see what I'm doing and saying to my friends!! Get a life girl, you can't stalk someone and except to live their life. Levi, your dad and I all agree you need something positive in your life. You can't continue having these weird, unusual and very very very strange relationships with psycho guys like griffin and zaki and then expect me to be ok with my son being around that. Hell no will Tripp every be around pedophiles and straight up STALKERS.

Myself, and thousands of others are praying for your sanity to come back soon.

Please stop sending messages and creeping on my life. Move on!

Since Bristol had accused me of stalking her on Facebook I e-mailed my response. 

Bristol,

The only thing I am guilty of lying about concerning you is how at first I agreed to tell the public that your pregnancy was a mistake. But you flipped the switch the second you found out you were pregnant and then you really had my brother right where you wanted him (and you started using the whole "you will never see your son, nephew, grandkid if you don't do what I say.") After that  I wasn't going to lie for you anymore. For you to call me stupid is completely and utterly ridiculous, but I wont get too involved in that subject. For you to claim that I am not trying to be civil with you is absurd! I have done EVERYTHING I possibly can to put the past behind us for the sake of your beautiful son who deserves ALL the love in the world from BOTH of his families. Even during that deposition you saw for yourself the depth of my emotions. There I was choking back sobs while trying to answer questions about my nephew and what did you do?? You rolled your eyes and smirked! When I do get to see Tripp, which is only like 5 times a year for a few hours if I'm lucky, the last thing I want is to have other people around because I want alone time to bond with my nephew like most aunts get. You need to start thinking logically and not irrationally. I wish you would just STOP making up excuses to dislike me.

My blog is NOT dedicated to "talking shit".

As I have said many times I have my blog to get my side of the story out because I would much rather type what I think and feel rather, then to have a ghost writer, or a reporter do it to make money, honey.

I don't know how you can call me strange, or how you even insist you know I don't have a "hobby. job, or something". If you knew anything you would know I have many hobbies, great friends, lots of support, and believe me it would be so much easier to get a job out here if it wasn't for your family. Unlike you I have other important things to do rather than traveling around preaching abstinence and earning thousands for doing so then coming home to which ever boyfriend it is this week and doing exactly the opposite of what you just lectured others not to do.

Bristol Sheeran Palin, the thing you said that bothered me the most was how I "stalk" your Facebook.

What a JOKE! I've looked at your page ONCE because I thought about adding you as a friend, but I knew you wouldn't accept because you just can't grow up and move on. Whichever of your friends are telling you I stalk your Facebook page are just trying to kiss your ass because they want a little fame from you. Soon, you will learn that. What do I have to gain from looking at your Facebook page? Nothing!

I do think I know what you mean by stalking on Facebook though and that would be all the comments you leave around OTHER peoples Facebook walls (Sometimes on your own if you're feeling risky) talking mad crap about me and trying to make me look bad by spreading false accusations or stating stuff you don't even have a CLUE about. At least before you start opening your mouth get the facts straight, because everything you say I can correct even quicker. Such as the immature and unnecessarily mean comments you left on April Morlocks, Tara Parez,...and lord only knows who else's Facebook page. I don't waste my time to go looking for them, but sometimes my friends will send them to me because they know that I have reached out to you and tried to be civil. And they have seen me tear up as I talk about my nephew.

That my dear is NOT called stalking! YOU Bristol are the one who has been going out of your way to add some of my friends to YOUR Facebook friend's list, spy on their FB pages and then immediately delete them. Or you have contacted them trying to spread false rumors in an effort to cause damage to friendships and to my relationship.

Therefore, once again you are being the biggest hypocrite I have ever met. Until tonight I have still tried to stick up for you because you are, and always will be, the mother of my nephew. But it is getting VERY hard for me to do that now that you are going to such great lengths in trying to turn people against me and to make stuff up. And especially after you attempted to cause turmoil between my boyfriend and I.

I just want you to stop and think for a moment Bristol. Have I ever gone out of my way to tell your boyfriends stuff about you that wasn't true? No.

Have I ever even contacted them (with the exception from my BROTHER)? No.

Was I really the one who took those pictures of your truck and Levi's truck outside your condo? NO, that was "YOUR FRIEND".  In fact probably the SAME friend who is feeding you all these lies about me.

After I e-mailed you wishing you and Tripp a Happy Halloween, and offered encouragement to you in the hopes that you could possibly ONE DAY get past all this middle school drama, THIS is the response you gave me.

"You have no access to me. Do not contact me again...."

Now if you meant that, why in the WORLD would you go out of YOUR way to talk crap about me ALL over Facebook and go WAY out of your way to contact my boyfriend to feed him a bunch of BS?

No matter how much you dislike me for the past, I have never done ANYTHING that should prevent me from seeing Tripp. NOTHING.

I  could understand if I was a felon, or a dangerous person, but I am a very kind person, and Tripp has my whole heart, so I just don't understand why you can't let it go? Or at least stop posting lies about me on Facebook claiming you feel sorry for Levi and Tripp because they share my blood. Because I know once Tripp is older he will be SO PROUD to be a JOHNSTON!

I think you honestly just have some deep insecurities, maybe because your mom wasn't around as much. I don't know. I would love to meet up, or call and talk to you about all of this but since you won't be mature enough to do that THIS is my last resort.
