I think I feel wistful and perplexed most days.
As perhaps evidenced here.
Joe, you’re making me think about the etymological relationship between graffiti conventions and textspeak…

What a great Ars Graffitica (forever).

I can’t shake the feeling that the author of Love BitEZ got to the final two letters and suddenly thought: “Oh, crap, this is just a cliche. It won’t communicate the actual depth of my newfound contempt for Love…unless…I write the letters as giant textspeak! Then my emotions are bound to shine through.”

I thought Kitten Wags was amazing in Bridesmaids.

I love how that’s you losing it, while me losing it is screaming at people in the street/telling a (possibly preverbal?) Riley “you are a bad child and don’t have any friends because nobody likes you.”

Isn’t there a point at which you’re entitled to stop caring what they want? I don’t mean “forever” I just mean right now. “It’s too late to do it first. Sorry. Now shut up!” Izzat child abuse, f’ God’s sake?

Wait, Paul, you know this particular banker personally? I’m not sure I remember who it is…
There is some irony in the idea of me not reading parenting blogs, yes? Maybe I should call the ones I don’t like “Sancti-mommy-logs,” to be clear that I need and admire lots of writing by other parents, just not a particular type and tone (with a hat tip to Kate for the word sancti-mommy).
Emma, your leather pants live on in my memory. And Erin, yes. I think they laugh at us all the time.

So funny, Michelle. Pushing buttons, indeed. Instead of the quiet whisper, I drop my voice an octave and draw it out, “W-h-a-t. D-o. Y-o-u. W-a-n-t?” I think they laugh at me.

Oh the microwave! Been there (this morning). I actually just crumbled and bought one of those feelings face charts and I can only tell you this because you knew me when I wore leather pants and lived on Avenue C.

Someday, in private, I will tell you stories about that banker which will make you feel better. But hopefully not so much better that you will go back to reading parenting blogs.
