Last of the Summer Whine

moving right along from my last post and trying not to be sour about the fact that nobody EVER comments, (except mostly helen and sara xxx) and trying not to ask myself WHY do i bother? because that would just make me sound bitter, shallow and twisted.
and god knows, i'm all of that.
you got a problem with that?
just kidding.
well only a bit.
i mean i like writing my blog.
presumably somebody reads it because occasionally the stat counter, crawls up by one, sometimes even two!!
oh the joy!

you don't have to like it.
in fact, you can just go
'thwwwwp'.
(sound of you blowing a raspberry)
or
'byaaacchh' (hairball)
or even say,
:-)
or
:-(

i don't care.

just don't IGNORE me, as that crazy psycho woman on fatal attraction said to michael douglas.
before she boiled his kid's bunny and terrorized his wife.
NOT, that i would do that to you.
you may rest easily.
i don't know you do i?
obviously.

but hell, there's music now for gawd's sake.
there's books to read and there's other people's blogs to link to if you get bored with mine.
what ELSE do you want?

be honest, was it the giant fish and chips story?
the seeming lack of adventure and excitement in my life?
the fact that i usually blog when i'm sober?
because believe me i can do it when i've been drinking.

but not sure if that's a great idea either.

but wait.
don't leave yet.
i'm changing the subject, honest.
i'll do better.

and,
breaking news.
i DID get a free flight from the airline that bumped me.
oh ye of little faith.
(that would be me)
those super-nice people could NOT apologise enough in their response to my email and i feel vindicated.
mind you they did contradict themselves considerably with respect to the reasons why i was bumped in the first place but i'm easily bought so i'm not going to argue with them am i?

and here's a nice picture if you are looking for something else to entertain you.

come on, don't i look like a fun person to you?

what's your bloody problem then?

you're the one that's got issues not me.
so please yourself.

i don't care anyway.


okay i do.

You absolutely look like a fun person! After that scolding, I knew I had better leave a comment! First time reader here. I stumbled across your blog by way of a friends.

I sometimes feel exactly the same as you do about always bitching on my blog. I'm afraid people will think that's all I do, and that I'm a negative person, which truly I'm not. But, I realized, I just have to let it go. One of the reasons I blog is to be able to vent about things that bother me in a relatively anonymous way. So, bitch on, Sister!
