It has recently been brought to my attention that people actually read this blog—like people other than my mom and her coworkers. I always thought that the only people who read it are those to whom I send the links, those people who understand the way my mind works, who know what makes me tick. I did not intend to make this a public thing. I wasn’t planning on using this at as platform with which to spout my own opinions, a place to broadcast the fact that I have axes to grind. I always thought, and still sort of think, that blogs are for weird people, those who either have way too much time on their hands and think they are interesting enough that people would want to read about their lives or those who are overly obsessed with some kind of hobby or celebrity. I do not fall into either of those categories—I do not, by any means, think I am interesting or feel that anything I have to say is really all that worth listening to and I definitely am not obsessed with anything (well…other than Glee). My friends from college told me to start blogging so that I would stop bothering them with my endless emails that ended up being longwinded rants about how much I hate boys, love sex, and/or need to get over myself. I really did not intend for it to reach such an extended audience. I mean nothing by it. It’s just me thinking, talking, bitching, being crazy.
I am tempted to use this opportunity to apologize; part of me wants to say sorry to anyone and everyone who this blog has offended, to tell those who think that they know (or are) any of the people I have pointed a literary finger at, that I didn’t mean to stir up any trouble or embarrass anyone. Apologizing would be the noble thing to do. Claiming that I had no idea that so many people would stumble upon my works would seem appropriate.
But I am not going to do any of that. Fuck propriety. I said what I meant and I meant what I said. If I have called you or any of your loved ones a pussy or an ass hole or claimed that he or she is lame or evil or emotionally stunted or stupid, then he or she probably, in my mind at least, deserved it. I am not going to apologize for being honest. I put myself out there, on the internet, for any shmuck to find, and I shouldn’t be surprised that people did. So if my opinions or beliefs offended you or you feel as though I was personally attacking someone specific, then I invite you to stop reading because I’m sure as shit not forcing you to sit there and read. It’s not in my nature to keep quiet even if what I am saying is not all that ladylike. I won’t apologize for being me.
So now I am going to stop being embarrassed that I have a blog. Apparently some people do like to read what I have to say. I am going to embrace the fact that I have a way with words and use it to my advantage. From now on, everyone is welcome to read my blog. Come one come all, listen to the crazy chick talk.
You’re in DRPWORLD now, bitch.
