OK, now that was just nice.

So, you know what?  I am totally a big enough person to admit when I was wrong.

 

As it turns out, Anonymous Comment Writer whose comment I was making fun of yesterday turned out to be kidding about my Ironic Use of Words, and I just took it wrong and ended up talking smack about them.  Bad writer!   Bad!   Turns out, they think I"m funny, and they are actually entertained by the fact that sometimes I malign products and this generates ads for the very things I am slandering.   They were even nice enough to explain this in another comment posted to the very blog post where I was slandering THEM.  Wow.  That is a cool person.

 

Yikes.  I guess the only thing to do is apologize and move on, eh?  Stephan will vouch for the fact that I have been married long enough to have uttered the words "I was wrong" more than once, and I am doing that now.  Also, if it makes you feel any better, I totally got taken to task by one of my friends from high school for my frequent use of the improper word "alot" in my writing, like "why should I be picking on someone else when I am using wrong grammar anyway?"  I also will say "touche" to that one, as I am a flagrant invoker of poetic license when it comes to the word "alot" and several others.  It's true, I shouldn't even be throwing stones.  I suppose I just try to take the pain of rejection and turn it into something funny, people!  Laugh through the pain! 

 

On a totally different note, I am doing a reading in the desert on Friday, in the same mall where I used to work in high school, at a Barnes & Noble that did not even exist when I lived there..  After that I am attending (crashing?) the Class of 89 reunion that is occurring this weekend, even though I graduated after that and have no business being there.  Look for me in pictures on Facebook.  I will be the one with the pale eyelashes, misusing the word "alot."

Nothing more fun than crashing a party! Though personally I have yet to do so...

It's not really crashing when we all have said , "Please come by and hang with us. And amuse us with your wit." We will be looking forward to seeing you at the Palm Desert Town Center, and then at the Hole.
