Oof, Scrappy. I hope that there's a good resolution for you both.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Scrappy, that took a lot of guts. I hope that woman responds positively to your apology.

So much this.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Whatever the outcome, Scrappy, it took guts to apologize. Go you.
Also, in my experience, I think children (and thirteen year olds are more children than teens in this regard) often learn to map their moral universe through mistakes and transgressions more than through good behavior. I know that was true for me. What's important is how you responded to your actions.

Oh, dear. There's a new book out cataloging Israeli slang. [link] One dialogue that it presents and translates:
Man: “tistovevi: turn around”
Woman: “totsi miyad: take it out immediately”
Man: “tiftchi: open up”
Woman: “al tafsik: don’t stop”
Both: “achshav: now”
Woman: “Haya lecha tov?: Was it good for you?”
Man: “Likro lach monit?: Shall I call you a cab?”

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Scrappy, as one person who took a fair amount of such shit I know I would appreciate the apology. I wouldn't necessarily friend-back, but I'd be glad and probably say so.

This. A friend request with no note would get immediately ignored, but with a note would at least get a "thank you."
