so way back when, let's say 10 years ago give or take, this girl katie and i ended our dating relationship. tried to do the friend thing, yada yada yada, rarely ever works.
we were writing back and forth (using paper stuffed in envelopes, ask your parents about communicating pre-IM and e-mail) and one of the last letters that i got from her ended with "please write me back, but don't write about how tired you are and stuff."
now this, at the time, blew me away!
how dare she tell me how to write my letters! maybe that's how i felt at the time! maybe i just won't write her any more to tell her anything about me! so there!
fast forward some time later. SHE WAS RIGHT!!!!!
nobody wants to read letters that inform the reader how tired or sick of everything the writer is!
my little rant about vegetarianism could have read "i'm so sick of people who eat rabbit food! they make me so mad! grrrrh! oh, and i'm so very tired as well."
so, having said that, i'd like to thank katie for bluntly informing me what she, and the world, simply did not want to hear. it may have been a long time coming, but the day of appreciation has finally arrived! kudos to you, wherever in the world you are.
ah, and a little add on to that: your head may ache, but telling people repetitively about the severe achiness located in your skull does not alleviate the problem for you or anybody you inform. sorry.
my wife's gonna just love me for that last paragraph...
....gotta go!
