rememory

Note: Yeah, there was a post up there earlier. Yeah, it was ranty and bitchy and it felt really, really, really incredibly good to write. But, um… I’ve never been one to be comfortable being mean, so I took it down. But, I’ll email it to you if you like! Because I still don’t like that girl.
Note in the Second: Thirty-eight email requests in one hour? You kids NEED a good rant. It is therefore re-instated. And my apolgoies for any hurt feelings, but mine were hurt first. So there.

Okay, so onward:

One of the warmest, fuzziest feelings in the world is knowing someone is thinking of you when you’re not around.

Last night, I came home, rained on and angry, to find a package on my doorstep. There was no return address. Curious, I tore it open. Inside were a CD and a note.

Dear H,

I think of you every time I listen to this. Hope you like it!
Happy Birthday, Suckah.

Love,
J

I popped the gifted album into my shower CD player and turned on the water. Mid-shower it crossed my mind (for the millionth time) that for all J’s unique and annoying quirks, he really does know me. Maybe better than anyone.

The music was mellow, and great – some artist whose name I can’t remember now. But I was remembered, and that’s the important part.

  • Good for him. I get all mellow at unexpected kindness.

  • Not sure if your post was written recently (or if it was stored away to post on a day you’ve nothing to say), but if it was written recently, Happy Birthday. Now, why don’t boys send things like that when it’s not our birthday? Mail is wonderful, especially when it’s more than a dumb flyer.

  • i’d love to read it :)

    Do e-mail the mean post. There is nothing like a rant about someone to help quell the annoyance of some bitchy person in your own life!

  • nikilovely

    I demand to read this scandalous post! Get ta’ emailin’, honey! Forthwith! Please and thank you.

  • Me too – you can’t lead into a post with something like that and not have me DIEING to know what’s what.

  • Geoff

    Medium time listener, long time caller. Thanks for having me on the blog today…

    Oh Please! Oh Please! Oh Please! Post the rant again. Oh so curious what a seemingly sweet person like you can ramp up to in a vitriol post. :)

  • Were you complaining about Ari & Sarah B again? You really should lay off them. I understand they have their good points.

    I’d love to read the post, but since you don’t know me, I’ll only read it if you’re comfortable having your rant out in public. There seems to be a great interest in what ticked you off, but I also understand “ruing the rant” so to speak and wanting to put it behind you.

    Oh, and J? He seems to have a few good points too.

  • Ari

    … she even rants engagingly. I do adore this gilly gal.

  • Oh please please please!!!

    email the mean post to me! I so need to read something witty and mean today!

    It’s been that kind of day.

  • Do we ever get over those coulda-beens? *Sigh*

    Please email me the rant, nothing like some delicious bitching!! – thanks

  • Wow, I feel so special … I actually read the rant blog in the short window of time you had it up.

    *Doing a victory dance*

  • Fish, love, either too many of us have WAY too much time on our hands, or you are the hottest thing on the Internet. OK, so I have a dead-end job. Sue me.

  • oooh, email me the evil post. I’ve had a less than stellar day, and need to know that I’m not the only one thinking evil things.

    And ditto the Happy B-day comment, if it’s your birthday.
