Question...
Jan. 21st, 2004 11:07 am[Poll #236403]
In case you're wondering, I got the idea from
princesszags, who has Precious SnuggleBumps the Psychotic Dancing Rabbit listed as her name. This reminded me of that old title from those days... *reminisces*
Anyway, she made the icon I used in this post, which comes from this strip. The first person credited is the creator of the comic, because, duh, it's her artwork and I can easily track her down.

Sometimes, I could just... just... I don't know. But my mother drives me cRaZy!!!!!!
Today, our phone service got cut off. Again. We can still get calls, but we can't make any outgoing calls. Well, except for these:
"If you'd like to report a police, fire, or medical emergency, please hang up and..."
I am so. sick. of. that. recording.
She misses something like 6 bills a year. Not because we can't pay them, but because she forgets. In fairness, she did remember this one, but only YESTERDAY. And, her excuse when calling up these people to get the service returned until they get the money is "I never got the bill... our mail service is really bad". Yes, our mail service USED to be really bad, we often got other people's mail instead of our own, but, mom, if you haven't noticed, we got a new mailcarrier about two years ago. Since then, we've had very few problems. YOu say you never got the bill, but maybe you'd've gotten it if you would EVER take the mail in! Instead of leaving it outside, exposed to the elements, for m o n t h s ! Seriously! She will NEVER bring in the mail! EVER. I bring it in, I can hand it to her, and then she'll still claim she never got it.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On a similar, if completely unrelated note, my mother can't wash dishes either. If she tries, I end up having to rewash them because there is FOOD stuck on them. Or they're greasy. *sighs* And then she either claims that's not true or, *shudders* says my standards are too high. I could just scream. Again.

Hey 'dul. *hugs* I am sorry.

Anyway, Jenn suggested (or you did, but I heard it through Jenn) that I apologise on Livejournal because it's easier than in person, especially as I don't anticipate seeing you for a little while (and I already haven't seen you for a while) so here I am, coming up with an apology. After thinking about it, I decided the best way to do this would be just to say what I'm sorry for, and why that is, making this rather like one of those homework assignments where you write "I will not something" a million times. While that lacks the heartfelt emotional appeal of a simple "I'm very sorry and will you please forgive me", it's a lot more useful for me, in the long run. And it seems more thoughtful for you, I hope.
1. Yeah, I should've made the bed. I honestly didn't know this was upsetting you so much, though. I wish you'd said something before all this, then I wouldn't've been messing up. Anyway, now I know, and will almost certainly not make the same mistake again. The only way I can see that happening is if I were trying to piss you off, but I don't think that's likely. Similarly, I really should've cleaned up after Mommy, because sticking you with that isn't being a good guest. And if I'd done that, I wouldn't've left the check.
2. I should've done the dishes too. Yes, I did the dishes that'd been in the sink already, but that's not the point. And I knew that then, too, but I used "I'm in a bad mood" as an excuse to forget, which is a pity, as that's not a good excuse. It is, in fact, a bad excuse. If somebody did that to me, I think they'd regret it really fast, and not for the emotional reasons I'm regretting doing that to you, so it's especially unfair, and I'm sorry. Doing the dishes does involve more of the kitchen than the dishes, but any lapses there are accidental rather than badmoodforgetful.
3. I'm also sorry for not making sure you knew I was leaving. That was pure stupidity on my part, since I know that door doesn't lock behind me. I mean, I did tell you, but a little bit of thought would've made me tell you again until you got up. Or said something. Or whatever.
4. *thinks* I'm sorry SORRY for fighting with Mommy and Jenn, but that's more a Jenn apology than a 'dul apology, since you weren't involved.
5. More generally, I meant to apologise sooner, but I wasn't there, and apologies over the phone never work out well... I always feel like either crying or giggling, and while the first sounds like a manipulative plea for sympathy, the second is just rude.
I'm pretty sure that's it. If there's other things, I'm very vaguely sorry for upsetting you, but I either didn't know I'd messed up or don't know it now, and therefore don't specifically feel sorry for them. You'd have to tell me what I've done or not done so I can modify my behavior in the future.

Yep. Here I am. Making a stupid phone post. It's kinda pointless, so I'm not going to bother transcribing it. If you can't hear it, don't worry about it.
Oh, in case you're wondering, the song I mean goes like this:
Vagina dentata! What a wonderful phrase! Vagina dentrata! Ain't no passing craze! It means no weiner, for the rest of your days! It's a penis free... girl cavity... Vagina dentata!
I might make another post just to sing it. Stay tuned.
