Well, if nothing else, this sort of thing does give you a better idea of who your friends are.
Garrity, much love.
Hanne, much love.
Gray, you arrogant, self-righteous prick. No wonder the two of you get along so famously. Two choices, dog:
- Oh, I'se powerful sorry, massa.
- That's mighty white of you. Now fuck away off.
And while I'm on the subject, the agentless passive construction, "I realize you've been hurt" does not mean the same thing as "I realize I/he/she hurt you." At this point, I don't really consider the former to be a meaningful sentence of English, so if anyone else is thinking about tossing a sentence using that -- or the gerund -- my way, do me a little favor. Take that sentence, shine it up real nice, turn it sideways, and ram it up your candy cracka ass.

No, I don't know why I'm supporting the local, independent, woman-owned, queer-friendly feminist bookstore either, seeing as I'm such a misogynist bastard. Guess it slipped my mind.
"Men in my life haven't been very friendly lately." Yeah, and you're just overflowing with the milk of human kindness, Miss My-Boundaries-Aren't-Being-Respected. Come down off the cross, sweetie, somebody needs the wood.
How 'bout this, hon:

So true! In general, oh how I wish that more people had the balls to say the latter. They usually wimp out and go with the former. Which just makes you want to shoot them between the eyes. (Not making a comment here on your situation, but rather on my own experiences. Just liked the way you articulated that.)
