the ax murderer from the internet!

When DH and I had just started dating, one of my friends at work began calling him "PINK" (Psycho InterNet Killer) or "Psycho Killer". He accepted it fairly graciously as she tended to nickname everyone (one teacher was called 'Deer In Headlights'). Just before DH and I got married she stopped me one day and asked DH's name because she didn't think it would be nice to write "Psycho Killer" on a card!

I'm so sorry, Shir. That is just terrible.

((((Shir))))

I'm just getting up now. It feels like I have a hangover, but I didn't drink last night I suspect sitting in a room of smokers till 4am playing poker is the cause. I came in second! Whee!! But ow.

This week's Modern Love column in the Times is even more ridiculous than most. [link] A little girl writes "I love Sarvis" on the bathroom wall of an elementary school, and Sarvis's mother reacts with, essentially, "No you don't! You can't possibly love Sarvis as much as I do!"

Hil, that was super creepy!

Sarvis's mother reacts with, essentially, "No you don't! You can't possibly love Sarvis as much as I do!"

That's....creepy and weird. But at least the article is something that 25-year-old Sarvis can print out and take to his therapist.

I'm thankful that, while my mom DID fuck me up, she didn't write about how she did it, and then publish it in the New York Goddamn Times.

Small favors, man. Small favors.

I want to believe that she was trying to be funny, but that was creepy. Hope she changed his name.

Okay, that is psychotic and creepy. Jeez.

Even if she didn't change his name, it's written under her name, so anyone who knows them would know who it's about.

No, I tell you, it's a GOOD thing for poor oddly-named-kid that the article was published; that way, in 20-some years he won't have to try to convince his therapist how utterly fucked up his mom is; he can just hand over the article and say "Read this. And then tell me: 50 mg, or 100?"
