28 October 2003 ~ "Step-mommy, step-mommy, can I be a bitch for Halloween, just like YOU?"

Heh!

Here in this entry, for your enjoyment, is Wet Cleanup's latest guestbook entry, written by my alleged stepmother, Barb. I'm putting it here because she marked it as "private," so anybody who might be interested in the goings-on of my guestbook, would not have an opportunity to enjoy this particular message. Ordinarily, I'm not a very big fan of "private" messages. I mean, if you want to say you like what I've written, say it without shame, and put a name -- or at least a screen-name -- to it, or I'm not really all that convinced. If you want to talk shit about me, by all means, please do post it publically, or I'll get the impression you're a coward. The only reason I haven't disabled posters' ability to write private messages, is because, on occasion, people tell me very personal things. Like, phone numbers. Or stories about their personal lives that might not look so great if somebody they knew happened to see it.

Right. But anyway, there's still not MUCH of a reason to leave private messages. After all, I do have an email address.

When you know a person who is a writer, you have to be very, very careful. I've been known to write down any number of embarrassing things about people. Nobody is immune to the wrath of a writer. Although, unless you really, really suck, I'm unlikely to talk shit about you, or post your embarassing moments or "private" guestbook entries. When you send any sort of correspondence to a writer, that correspondence is public domain, regardless of whather or not you typed "private" on it. If I like you (and I do like most people; it takes a LOT for me not to like people), I won't trash you. If you suck, you just should have freaking known better than to talk to me.

Without further ado, allow me to present, in its entirety, (so as not to lose any "local flavor"), Barb's latest message to me:

Comments: Your up-coming name change could't come fast enough......as for your father.... your poor judgement [once again] is totaly uncalled for....keep the name calling to yourself and grow-up!!!!

Heh!

I have no intention of "growing up." I mean, why change, if I'm happy now? I kinda thought I already was an adult, but regardless of age or maturity, I like where I'm at. I'm doing pretty well. And I don't post "private" messages in people's guestbooks.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Barb posted this privately so that a.) nobody would see what a nasty old bitch she is, and b.) so that my dad wouldn't find out she's harassing me AGAIN. I could be wrong; maybe she sends me this shit with my dad's whole-hearted blessing. She doesn't let him speak for himself, you see. If you'll notice, she does the speaking FOR him (see that part about "as for your father," whom, I'm sure, has no idea he's been brought into this woman's stupid wickedness.)

Well, I don't have any respect for people who are ashamed of their nasty old bitchiness. If you're gonna say it, you ought to own up to it. Say it loud, Barb! Say it proud! Say it to the whole freaking world! Now everybody knows what a nasty old bitch you are, and how you don't let your husband speak for himself.

Heh!

Anyway, yeah. Barb, you can go to hell and rot there with lots of other pieces of white trash just like yourself. Everybody else, have a great day! Off to work now...
