more fan mail

So... I just came back from a lovely evening at 24 Linwood... Sorry I had to leave early, but I have to work in the AM. The house is gorgeous guys- nice job. :) And I met a bunch of new peeps- (e:twisted) , (e:kookcity2000) , (e:hodown) , (e:carolinian) ... and saw lots of other people I hadn't seen in a while. Good people, good drinks, good food, lovely setting- thanks everyone.

So then as I gathered up my stuff to leave, my phone beeped at me. A message. I had yet another anonymous post-it.

This one says:

What a lovely way to end the evening!

I don't even know what to say.

Fat, huh?

Is that the best you can do? Pick on my physical characteristics?
Wow, I'm so hurt.

Either I am engendering a lot of ill will throughout buffalo and this is someone new, or, more likely, my previous 'hater' is back.

By resorting to petty, anonymous, name- calling you show yourself for who you are- a judgmental, cowardly, bitch.

I feel no need to defend myself to you.

Next time you feel the need to insult me, why don't you be an adult and sign your name.

p.s. Where were the (e:larsons)?

And p.p.s. To answer the question- yes there is a "fat chick" on the show- and for the record, she's the hot/sexy one.

leetee writes at 04:14:26 10/02/06 - Comment #11824: You sure it's you that guest is writing to and not me? Sheesh... if you're fat... what the hell am i? You're so not fat. And why would it be bad if you were! Celebrate who you are, at any size!!

This guest person doesn't deserve your thoughts or energies.

kookcity2000 writes at 04:51:53 10/01/06 - Comment #11804: don't even think twice what someone anonymously, and moreover electronically, posts.

Time spent even parsing that fractured prose is time better spent doing *anything* else. Like watching paint dry or alphabetizing cans of soup or q-tipping your belly button.

ajay writes at 04:20:36 10/01/06 - Comment #11800: Ha ha ... this "guest" is such a retard. Thanks for posting the note; it's fun to see what about you pisses people off. The fact that s/he's resorting to insulting a perceived physical appearance means that s/he has absolutely nothing else to go on.

Or, maybe s/he misspelt "phat" ? :-D

metalpeter writes at 03:26:25 10/01/06 - Comment #11798: I will admit that I was looking forward to seeing the Larson brothers as well (not sure if josh is in town or not) so at least Jason. They are both preaty interesting in person. But being as I used to allways say I will be there and not make I can't really say anything then Sorry (e:beast) and everyone else for those act of the past.

I will also admit Alex that I checked you out a little bit. I would not say you are fat from where I'm standing but that is just me. I can understand if someone thinks that you are fat that is their opionion but what I don't get is why attack you annousmusly. Why don't they just join the site and then send you stuff saying they don't like you or something like that, I really don't get it. I know that if I had a problem with someone and I visted a site I join and bash them I wouldn't hide. It is to bad that you have to deal with this, but I'm glad you had a good time at the party.

dragonlady7 writes at 03:00:52 10/01/06 - Comment #11797: I have to admit, and this sounds really really shallow and awful and I blame my hung-over state for even typing this, but earlier when you posted an entry and mentioned you were self-conscious about your weight, I thought, "Wait, I don't remember (e:jenks) as being fat." And I thought, and I thought, "Maybe I wasn't paying attention." I mean, I've only met you like two or three times.

This is the horrible part: when you showed up, I was drunk, and I thought to myself, "Oh, there's Jenks. Let me check: Is she fat?"
...
And after some covert (probably not all that covert; I was drunk. I apologize) evaluation, I was like, "No."
So I was real confused and thinking maybe it was someone else who'd posted that they were selfconscious about their weight...
But no, no, it was you who had someone being cruel about it, and your posting style's pretty distinctive so I was like, "No, I'm sure it was her."

So I kind of drunkenly stared at your various body parts for a while and the conclusion I reached, which I stand by this morning, is that if somebody's making fun of you for being fat it's because they're absolutely desperate to think of something. Because honey, no. There is an optimal quantity of Jenks in real life. They just can't think of anything else to make fun of you for. Which is sort of sad, I mean, academically, that they're so destitute of intellect, but I suppose it's a good sign for you, isn't it?

Anyhow, I apologize for the drunken ogling but I stand by my conclusion: anyone making fun of you for being fat is just trying to push buttons rather than making any kind of informed critique. (Well, I mean, duh, but it's rather like making fun of me for my curly hair. Um, what? I... no.)
I'm going to go attempt solid food now. Cross your fingers for me. (Speaking of fat. But you know, I am at peace with my fat rolls. Winter's coming and I need the insulation.)

Pix!

Ok, I have too many pix to put into a post, so you'll have to check out a link.
(This is the first time I've used this new web-publishing program- must say I think the slideshow is kinda slick!)

Enjoy!

Ok, and here's something else I haven't tried, so let me know if it works.
I have the pix "photocasted" from iPhoto. Which means any mac people can 'subscribe' to the folder and access all the original, full-size photos (the catch is that you need the new version of iphoto). Supposedly windows peeps can too, as long as you have a browser that can do RSS. I'd be curious to know if it works for you. the login and password are both estrip. Here's the link....
