of COURSE i gotta update this..

and of COURSE it has to be because of some unknown jackass.

so, i'm reading my dear friend's blog- "Mix Up Like Conch Salad".  i love it because it's a GLBT blog for the Bahamas [who'd have believed it, right?] but because i know that i'm always going to find interesting, well thought-out articles written by the pair.

their most recent article touches on the rise in gay suicides among students- you'd have to be living under a rock to not have heard about it, and i was wondering when they were going to write something on the subject.  lo and behold, they did, and i offered up my agreement with my girl's article with a pretty typical Bahamian response [even with my apatheticness to religion]: 

"two words my dear: A and MEN!"

a few days later i decide to visit the blog again, and find this gem of a response to my apparently 'uneducated' phrase, all the way down at the bottom like i'd never even see it:

Btw Mallorie amen is a compound word not two words. Separate the two and it gives a completely different meaning. Keep giving reverence to the ancient KMT a.k.a. KEMET (ancient Egyptian) G_d of the Sun. Amen-Ra. Akhenaten would be pleased. Your a smart girl so you probably already know this.

my only response was... er?

not for the fact that i was confused as to WHAT he said [having been an ancient egypt buff for a number of years, i knew about kooky old Akhenaten and his attempts to turn egypt to a henotheistic culture], but WHY he said it.  and for that matter i should point out that i have no idea who this little fucker is.  he/she/it is hiding behind some name all grayed out- so for all intents and purposes, it's an anonymous commenter.  who decides that it's their place to lecture me on my word choice, as if that there is the large sin spoiling everything.

i respond in kind:

...wow, way to kill the fun out of a statement of agreement. done clubbing seals, then?

because clearly, this individual is some type of killjoy that takes part in the harming of cute animals with glee , that he/she/it must nitpick something so incredibly minor and contextual.  and the thing from the abyss responds with the same tome i've come to expect- meaning, the tone of an asshat:

Damn girl your humor is like the annual seal hunt; out of season. Having stated that, your last comment is akin to lipstick on a hog; serving no purpose. I digress however, and will return to the topic which is not about you or me. In the name of promoting dialogue this conversation would be better served if the marginalization of people and issues related to the field were discussed. Though you have piqued my interest in the subject of scholarly versus being educated debate. Let debate, discussion and constructive conversation endure.

oh yes let's please return to intelligent debate!  *arms flail* because this harpy can't seem to grasp the notion that they derailed this discussion in the first place.  then they'll gussy themselves up to be the poor victim trying to restore order because someone wouldn't take their condescending mini-sermon in the ass like a good paid whore should.

naturally, my response went like this:

so cute, lipstick on a pig? out of season? originality and general 'high-and-mightiness' are clearly your calling card. how can i compete with someone who hides themselves with such cleverness?

but yea, we're digressing on my friend's blog because you decide to be Mr Politically Correct [or Ms? who can tell since you're just a name?] on my comment. because THAT is SOOOOO detracting from everything else going on.

seriously friend. stop being a condescending asshat. but if you want, the link on my name is right there if you feel like this injustice musn't stand. i'm not gonna hide :)

and i WON'T hide.

SO! Mr/Ms/Whatever the fuck you are " Optimistic Pessimist aka the cheerful Pejorist",


you ain't my pa, nor my ma, nor my teacher.
so learn what's important in life.


act accordingly.


or in other words, don't fuck with me.
