You Get What You Deserve
Well, I got my second piece of hate-mail today. (Dooce, I'm gaining on you!) Too bad, psycho_babbling_brook -- I'm sure you would have liked to have been the first, but Heather's brother beat you to it. Sorry!
Speaking of Heather's Brother's rant, it was really funny, whereas this one is just, well... confusing and weird. I'll let everyone read it in its entirity, to get the full effect:
WTF?You've your panties in a twist because your stepdaughter is going to university? Horrid ppl always find something to complain about.
Get over yourself.
Why are you pissed about? You don't have enough as it is so you want more more more ... you get what you deserve.

It just gets weirder every time I read it. So let's break it down, and perhaps we can make some sense of it, shall we?
You've your panties in a twist because your stepdaughter is going to university?
She -- and I'm saying she because I don't think men use the word "horrid" -- probably got this from my post about me turning Older Stepdaughter's room into my office. But I just don't see where my panties are any more twisted than usual.
Is it the part where I'm glad that I won't be there for the tearful send-off? Because I'm Norwegian, and all that emotion gives me hives. So clearly, my panties are twisted because... she's off to a great school with a big scholarship and has a great future ahead of her? Hmm. That's odd. I could have sworn I was happy for her. Well, who am I to say? Complete strangers must know best!
Horrid ppl always find something to complain about.
Hee hee! "Horrid!" Who says that anymore?
It reminds me of a nursery rhyme my Gramma used to say to me:
There once was a girl
Who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead,
And when she was good
She was very, very good,
But when she was bad, she was horrid.
I like how they rhymed "forehead" with "horrid."
Anyhoo, I don't really think one needs to be "horrid" to find something to complain about. And I still don't see how I was "complaining" about my stepdaughter going away to college. Very confusing.
Get over yourself.
Why? It's my blog.
Oh no! Do you suppose there's someone there with a gun making her read my blog against her will? Should I call 911? Was psycho_babbling_brook some kind of coded message about where to find her?
Oh, if only there were some way she could stop reading my blog and not have to deal with my inability to get over myself!
Why are you pissed about?
Um, we'll just pretend she said "What" instead of "Why," and didn't end a sentence with a preposition.
So, what am I pissed about? Let's see... I'm pissed about people who drive too slow in the passing lane. I'm pissed about the IKEA shelves that I need for my Barbies not being in stock for four weeks straight! I'm pissed about God letting Britney Spears and Kevin Federline procreate. And I'm pissed about poor grammar.
You don't have enough as it is so you want more more more ...
Oh, this is about me needing more IKEA shelves, isn't it? Well, in my defense, I've tried rotating the Barbies every month so they all get some shelf time, but they're just not happy with that arrangement. And now they've got Xena and G.I. Joe on their side, and frankly, I'm scared that, if I don't comply with their shelving needs, I'm going to wake up one morning to find all the Skippers with their eyes scratched out.
you get what you deserve.
Oh, if only that were true! Wouldn't it be awesome if everyone got what they deserved? What a truly Zen statement you have made there, psycho. Can I call you psycho, for short? Or would you prefer babbling?
See, I think there may be some truth in that statement, no matter how idealistic it seems. After all, Angelina Jolie got what she deserves. She's uber-sexxxy-hott, and she got Brad Pitt. Whereas Jennifer Anniston started that stooooo-pid hairstyle, and she lost Brad Pitt, so I guess she got what she deserved, too.
I think you're onto something here, babbling. I think Brad Pitt needs to come to my house and give me a good spanking.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! I'm sorry, but that's just hilarious! Have I EVER claimed to know how to be a stepmom? Jesus, I'll be the first one to tell you that I have NO FREAKIN' CLUE what I'm doing! Don't EVER follow my example!
* * * * *
I do know what this is about. This is about me blogging about my stepkids. Just as my anger at Husband came out sideways at the girls, I can see now that I'm going to be "getting what I deserve" sideways, too, and in unexpected ways.
And I hope that psycho_babbling_brook gets what she deserves, too. A life full of bunnies and rainbows and gumdrops and bliss. A life deserved by everyone who has never done something stupid out of anger or hurt someone they love.

ok, the first thing I thought was "horrid?" and "going to university?" does she think that a veneer of cockney is going to make us overlook the bad grammar and IM-chat abbreviations?
well, perhaps I should stoop to 'er level, then when I say "Listen, love, Wenchie is loverley, not at all 'orrid, and your attempt at mild vitriol is rather making me L.O.L!"

You're getting hate mail? I'm so jealous! I've never gotten hate mail! Stalking mail, yes, but not hate mail!
And who could hate you? You're Wenchie! I love you, Wenchie!
