LOL, simt!

And forsythia, I don’t know how you managed, but thanks for translating the Christie-speak for us. My initial reaction was “Wow! I wonder why this is just coming up now, in such an off-the-cuff way.” But a while back, when Christie was making her decision to dump her latest boyfriend, Justin, if he could not also vow never to drink again to “support” her, I seem to recall her mentioning something about the partying sometimes getting out of hand, and the police having to be called. I wonder if Christie was under the influence during the hammer episode. Maybe she’s a violent drunk?

In my opinion, Christie has been allowed to kind of “pretty up” her own story. So much of her story focused on how disgusted Christie was by her mom’s alcohol/drug addiction, and the “terrible” things her mom did while under the influence, rather than Christie’s own embarrassing episodes.
