And now comes the part we call “repair” in therapy. Since I did this in public, I need to repair it in public as well.
There have been some interactions on the board recently that I haven’t liked. I’ve not spoken up about them at the time and let them just stew inside me. And now, tonight, when I felt the same sort of thing directed at me, I went ballistic. Or, a little batshit crazy.
I’m not going to respond to anything said in the last 30 or so posts. I think it’s time to repair and move on. Thank you to those of you who so took my back. It’s nice to feel so loved. But, really, I have some apologies to make.
First, David, I’m sorry I took out a bunch of built-up frustrations on you. I’m sorry that I was a bit passive-aggressive in my post, even though that was mostly from hysterics and frustration. I still need to take responsibility for my typing and hitting the post button. I think we both could have said things better, but hindsight is always 20/20.
Second, I’m sorry to everyone for the graphic nature of my post. I was angry, hurt, and hysterical, and just really not thinking straight, which happens when I get triggered. I have edited my post to take out the graphic pieces. I would hate to trigger anyone else with the graphic elements of that post.
Third, I’m sorry I’ve just been so stressed lately and probably taking it out on people on the board. I will work on that. Please call me on it when I’m doing it (although, if you’d drop me an e-mail, that would nicer than on the board).
Lastly, I'm sorry for the tension caused on the board tonight. I really had no intention to start a kerfuffle.

I'm sorry I was so thoughtless and insensitive, vw.
I’m sorry that I was a bit passive-aggressive in my post,
Well, you know I did catch that element and it probably had me digging in my heels when I should've backed off. I found that provocative in a way that was out of proportion.

Me neither. Namaste.
That doesn't look right without "motherfucker" stuck on it...too much HBO. Or Victor.

Nope. i've just started taking yoga classes, and I have an unfortunate tendency to snicker madly when we're all to say "namaste" at the end of class.
I think I'm going to have to remember that when we start the next yoga class at work. Everyone's going to wonder what the crazy loon in the last row is snickering about.

Credit where credit is due: that was Thessaly's joke, not mine. Also, she made the T-Shirt.
ETA: Although ironically, I'm off to go do yoga...

Did Alanis' public shaming teach you nothing about the careless use of "ironic"?
Also, she made the T-Shirt.
Good t-shirt to have.
Other good t-shirts I'd like to have:
Eat a muffin, whitey!

Nothing that hasn't been undone by sitting in front of saved DVRs of "Veronica Mars" reruns for the past few hours. Ah, sweet vegetation. I feel free of all responsibility, grammatical or otherwise.
Also, she made the T-Shirt.
Also, Lea says if anyone wants the design to make their own T-Shirt transfer, to drop her a line at lea AT quantumredhead DOT com.
