Introspection.
Feb 22nd, 2008 by B.
Why do I always feel people are mocking me when they’re complimentary, yet impartial & fair when they’re critical?
Example:
Random email #1: Dear B., I love your blog! You are funny and make me want to move to Germany. I look forward to each new post, so please don’t ever stop blogging!
Me: What a grade-a bitch. Come look at this Jim… you can practically see her eyes rolling as you read, the whore!
Jim: (sighing heavily) You have issues.
——
Random email #2: Hello Shit-For-Brains, Never in my life have I read such pure and unmitigated crap. You’re an embarrassment to writers, bloggers, parents, and pet owners throughout the world. Do your loved ones a favor by sticking a gun in that sorry mouth of yours and pulling the trigger - we’d all be better for the loss.
Me: Hey Jim, check this one out… you really have to respect the honesty & directness. Not everyone has the stones to put it out there like that. Wonder if they have a blog?
Jim: (sighing heavily) You have issues.
Now you’re making me feel well-adjusted for my ability to delete without hesitation all emails and comments from people who are out to bring me down. Although it could just be that I don’t have the same appreciation for honesty that you do.
Jul’s last blog post..Too much screwing
(heavy sigh) I’m afraid he may be right.
ian in hamburg’s last blog post..How much is that doggie on the sofa?
LOL! If what he says is true, he has issues too. He married you afterall!
LOL!
Maria’s last blog post..A short blogging hiatus
Oh this just has me twitching to leave a really syrupy sweet comment about how much I like your blog. Thing is, it’s true. So I guess I’ll have to start sending hate mail.
Click’s last blog post..glozzn off! orbeiden!
I only get love letters — no hate mail yet.
Adam / TQE’s last blog post..Summer February Day
You actually read the e-mail? You do have issues!
