Blogging: Salon des Refuses.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 10 comments link this post::Salon des Refusés. All the stuff that didn't make it into a full blog post but lagged in my draft folder.::
I've taken to carrying around chocolate cigarettes in my purse. I bought them in Germany. They make me feel so urbane. Actually, they don't. The pack I'm using right now has a picture of the Eiffel tower and says "Paris" on it. It's almost as good as being there. Good chocolate, too: Bob's Milchschokoladen Stabchen. [UPDATE: Check out Eric's addictive good luck.]
The best part about going for a run is when you get done.
Someone left a comment on one of my posts saying my revolving photo was lesbian-fodder. I wonder how many times he refreshed my blog page to see all the photos? I added his IP number to my "blog crackpot IP number collection" database, which I do actually have. Lesbians indeed. Why do people come to a blog and then leave comments such as "you write boring stuff" and "you ramble too much"? Why not just...go away and quit reading? He was anonymous, of course. So he could have been a she. And therefore could've been a lesbian.
The best part about a crush is when one day you realize somehow it's over and you got past it and you can look back and see what a waste of energy it was. And see the person as nothing more than average. Crushes are like plants that might've grown but die for lack of water.
The phone company switched out some modem stuff today and my IP number is a bit different. I think I could post on blogs that blacklisted me. But I don't want to, actually. But I could. Just saying.
I just ate three cigarettes while writing this post.
UPDATE: No, make that four.

Cigarettes are bad for you. Send them to me so I can dispose of them properly.
No, don't thank me. That's what friends are for.

Sometimes these little posts are the best.

I get it, GirlFriday! You're telling me I'm long-winded, that I'm in need of an editor! That I should write less! That I should just shut up! I can take a hint!
(Like any good writer, I get paid to over-react.)

I love your blog.
I'm not a lesbian.
You just reminded me to water my plant.

I leap to GirlFriday's defense - she does not mean any of that negative stuff, but rather that sometimes a playful random thing is fun. It would not BE so fun outside of the usual context of your well-written topical essays. When someone pays you a compliment, say "thanks" instead of looking for negative hidden meanings! Of course, I have just been presumptuous to say what GirlFriday meant and have been arrogant to tell you how to take a compliment. But *I* enjoy your blog for all your styles. I DO!!!

(I was kidding towards GF. I was.)
I actually tip my hat to GF's blog which has some of the best one- or two-sentence cryptic blog posts I've seen.
Short mixed with long is kind of like the comma or paragraph break in a blog.
So....THANKS. :-)

I am a lesbian trapped in a man's body and I hate getting blacklisted!

Crushes might also be like plants that die from over-watering, don't you think?

Interesting point, Gwynne.
I suppose there are more than one kind of crush, or different aspects of a crush. There's the aspect of acrush where the other person doesn't seem to know you're alive (no water) and then the obsessing that you do despite that (too much water).
Death to the crush results, either way. And that's a good thing.
