But if you post it in LJ, aren't you, well, ASKING for comments?
Yes. Well, sort of. Er, I'd say more "accepting" than "asking for," but yes. This:
That being said, I might discuss the "idea" of special days in someones's LJ, or say that I like celebrating, but not try to shame the original poster because it's possible to have a dissenting opinion without being an asshat.
is what I was trying to say -- I'm not objecting to them having opinions. I'm objecting to (paraphrasing) "You're a selfish bad daughter. Call your father."
ETA: Heh. And the top-of-page quote decided to give me this: "'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything."
It's like, if it were here -- someone says, "I do X," five more people say, "Oh, you do X? I do Y or Z," and it's all cool. If someone said, "OMG you SUCK for doing X! X makes you a terrible person!!!"? Much less cool.
"OMG you SUCK for doing X! X makes you a terrible person!!!"? Much less cool.
Well, unless it is kicking puppies.
I forgot: Happy Birthdays, new jobs, and Solstices to all Buffistas to which those apply!
Going to see a play on Thursday--"I Am My Own Wife"--and I am so EXCITED! I almost never go to the theater anymore.
Jesse, what have you been up to?! [link]

Heh. I just ordered that script. Tell me what you think of it, will you? And yay live theater!
That's what I'm saying, yeah. I may not have said it well.
Also, I get a bit defensive because I have trouble remembering if I'm supposed to do Father's Day, because we don't do Mother's Day. And my family gets really irritated by Valentine's Day (well, my mother and I do. So my mother sends me a card about marrying a rich man, and then we laugh). It can be a weirdly touchy subject, much like telling your kids there's a Santa Claus or not -- you'd think it'd be an individual family choice, but in fact lots of people get all het up about whether other people should do it or not.
Huh. Jesse had a moment of perfect happiness. Go her!
bon (and other gossip hoors)! Did you see the NY Post blind item -- the most obvious blind item if you've read much Defamer? Not that I care what Owen Wilson does in his spare naked time, but it was startling to read a blind item I totally got.
WHICH blond stud, nicknamed the "Butterscotch Stallion," has a perverse sexual bent? He recently picked up a girl at a wedding and the two went back to his hotel room. When the woman asked if he had a condom, the actor replied: "I don't want to have sex with you, but I do want to do something else" — and proceeded to lick her buttocks for "over two hours."
I may need a life.
Ooh, "I Am My Own Wife" should be excellent.
Jesse, what have you been up to?!
Shit.
