All right, I’m going to say this once, and probably several time following, but let’s get this out of the way so you know my stand on this whole subject;

“Over Her Dead Body” pissed me off.

I’m sorry, but he gets the girl? What the hell? The girl and the other guy are fuckin’

leaving on a fuckin’ plane, for Christ’s sake, and he comes back, and she’s all over him in forgiveness? What the Hell!

Tell me, tell me, someone, please. Why did they spend all that time making us fall in love with the Not-So-Gay Guy only to have him dumped? I mean, he gets the best gags in the beginning, he’s supposedly the “Gay Best Friend”, which is a truckload of love points anyway…. He’s been through hell pleasing this girl, standing by her, supporting her for three years in a job and lifestyle that he hates, and finally gets her, and you know they’d be a good match, and you’re okay with it. You can be happy with that.

And.

He.

Gets.

The.

Girl.

But other guy, a much more supportive, understanding character, gets a consolation prize? No, I’m sorry, but just once, can’t the guy who’s quietly been working on a relationship with the girl for years get her? Just once, over the guy who caused the breakup? Just once, the guy who deserves it, the one who has never been a major jerk to her, never betrayed her, stood by her through thick and thin and hot water and booze, through breakup and heartache and joy and love get the girl? I want to see it. Just once.

Apologies

The truth is, I feel kind of bad.

You see, I had stuck my American Author report in the wrong place (Although, in my defense, we all stuck ours in them, and somehow only mine and Chiara’s went missing.), and when Mr. Manahan came to me, (And again, in my defense, he said it like he was joking. I seriously thought he was joking because his opening line was a straight faced (semi-straight, actually, he was smiling a little) “Did you know you failed English?” and really, he does joke a lot.), I thought he was joking that I hadn’t turned it in. I had turned it in, I turned it in in the same manner I thought everyone else turned theirs in, and I’ll admit I was rather obnoxious about it. Partly because I thought it was a joke, partly because he is infamous for loosing papers, and partly because I was annoyed that he had lost it. I didn’t think I was being obnoxious at the time, but I see now that I was.

In conclusion, I think it was a joint fault. I misplaced it, and he was unclear with instructions.Id did apologize though, but I kind of murdered it afterwords though. I think I mentally snapped at the word “righteous”. I believe his exact words were “You were standing there so righteous in your saying” or some such. I was saying and being righteous. But I hate being called “righteous”. I hate the word in itself. It’s such an arrogant word, and of all things I despise arrogance. So, I should say now, even if he never reads it, I apologize, Mr. Manahan. Really, I’m sorry. That was an uncalled for reaction.

 I figure I should warn those of you who don’t know: if I ever apologize to you, don’t argue it. Don’t discuss it. Accept it, and run like hell, because of all things, I hate being wrong and having to apologize, and after doing so I’ll spend the next hour setting things to an acceptable, honest state in my mind, and whatever I spout next will be stupid and unhelpful, and should never be taken seriously. They should be ignored and/or laughed at.

But again, I’m sorry.

Purple bunnies eat Santa Claus for brunch.

Anyway, maybe I am arrogant. Like, blatantly, horrifically, why-do-people-hang-out-with-me arrogant. That would suck. That would really, really, suck. Nothing sucks worse than being what you hate. So really, if I’m ever arrogant in a non-jokey sort of way, anyone, please, let me know. Seriously. I really would change if that were what I am.

n00b's

I think we all start out on the internet as something of a n00b. I know I did. But acting like an idiot early on in our internet careers eventually teaches us online manners and courtesy, much like how we learn as children to be relatively polite.

And, like some children, there are some of us who never really pick up those habits. People who slither through the web spreading stupidity and bad manners upon the more seasoned netters and the impressionable newcomers. Really, it’s quite sad. Ah well.
