Apparently, my last post, which was posted just 2 hours ago, frustrated some people who were compelled to complain about it via email. Two emails contained quotes of intrigue. Please be warned, I said you could email, but I never said I wouldn't utilize your material- particularly when it humors me so much that you haven't figured out that I am not writing a serious blog about personal problems. This is not a space to seek anything politically correct or moral or ethical. It's a space for those who live on the fringe of those things.
"[Hot Mess Yourself] is a seemingly shameful acceptance of abhorrent behavior..." -DK, New York, NY
This is not true. I never said anything along the lines of accepting or condoning such events or mess-ery, I'm simply doing my part to observe a social phenomenon and share it. If for some reason you do not like the content of the page, by all means, don't read it. Further, if you sincerely are offended it is most likely because something on this page applies to you. You may want to consider looking into that on your own time and not in my email. I am not a therapist but rather, a bored snarky person. I would like to thank you for that quote, I like it.
"Your page makes jokes about drug use and unsafe sex. These things are not funny and should not be made light of. Maybe you should consider focusing on teaching healthier lifestyles?" -BL, Quincy, MA
You sound like a middle aged and regretful "PC" lesbian. Again, I did not and do not condone either of these things, this is merely an observation. I did not make jokes about either of those things on the page, but rather, pointed out that these things go hand in hand with the 'Hot Mess' and situations otherwise. In addition, this website is not serious. If you or someone you know has an STD and an intravenous needle hanging out of their arm I'd be happy to post links to places to get help. You are also welcome to create your own blog about healthier lifestyles and use mine as a contrasting lifestyle reference.
Happy Monday to all!
You're just excited because they used the word "shameful" in the email. But I lament the use of "seemingly." I believe "outright" would've been much more fun.
