Oh, internet. How you poke me in the eye.

Filed under: stuff — meg @ 11:43 am

I wrote a post about the following (and you can tell I’m annoyed, I’m resorting to bullet points…)

  • why I delete my crazyhead, hormone-jaggy posts
  • how RSS readers are like men — they never forget the nutty things you say
  • how hard it is to get the balance between being real and being chill — because as much as people say you should only stick with people who accept you no matter what, I think that’s pretty willfully naive about how relationships work AND unfair to the people in your life
  • why it’s dangerous to be emo on your blog when you want people to hire you or just throw scads of cash at you for writing anything
  • how my mom never forgets anything I tell her
  • why it’s SO MUCH better to get sick IN a relationship instead of BEFORE one, because then a guy stands a better chance of loving you enough to stick around — although there are no guarantees
  • what this experience is like, physically and emotionally
  • also? had a very meaningful looking picture of me

And when I went to save/publish it? Our internet connection went down for a split second, and it was gone forever.

WHY DON’T YOU DO THAT WHEN I POST CRAZYHEAD THINGS, INTERNET?

But noooo, those ones do FINE.

Man. I shake my fist at connectivity.

    Bummer.

    Hugs usually help at times like these. Please consider yourself thoroughly hugged.

    I don’t remember any CRAZYHEAD posts. I might have read a few but I don’t remember it.

    Shoot! That post sounded good.

    I’m sad it’s lost.

    Are you sure you didn’t just delete it? ’cause I remember seeing it yesterday…

    That was a post I deleted, Tiana… this one was ABOUT that one (the above mentioned crazyhead post.) I know… it’s a little confusing. A post about a deleted post that was accidentally deleted.

    To paraphrase the immortal Monty Python: I wave my armpit at the internet connectivity in Vancouver. I fart in its general direction. That sounds like it would have been a good post.
