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.
