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.
Posted by: Michael at July 14, 2004 12:04 PMNot 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.
Posted by: StephanieKlein at July 14, 2004 12:13 PMi'd love to read it :)
Posted by: reality at July 14, 2004 12:38 PMDo 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!
Posted by: t at July 14, 2004 12:40 PMI demand to read this scandalous post! Get ta' emailin', honey! Forthwith! Please and thank you.
Posted by: nikilovely at July 14, 2004 12:44 PMMe too - you can't lead into a post with something like that and not have me DIEING to know what's what.
Posted by: Shawn at July 14, 2004 12:52 PMMedium 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. :)
Posted by: Geoff at July 14, 2004 01:05 PMWere 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.
Posted by: petitchou at July 14, 2004 01:36 PM... she even rants engagingly. I do adore this gilly gal.
Posted by: Ari at July 14, 2004 01:37 PMOh 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.
Me too!
Posted by: Cati at July 14, 2004 01:46 PMDo 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*
Posted by: Cindy at July 14, 2004 02:03 PMFish, 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.
Posted by: Michael at July 14, 2004 03:09 PMoooh, 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.
