Separated at birth?

Wednesday, December 21, 2005 | 5:19 pm

I was checking my referrers today, and found this one among them: The Girl Next Door. She has a link to me because we’re both on the BlogHer Blogroll.

So I’m glancing over her site with minimal interest, and then I see this post and am jolted to attention. You’ve gotta be fuckin’ kidding me. She’s reading Every Woman’s Battle.

Enthralled with this person who was happily swallowing such bullshit, I read on. And the coincidences got weirder and weirder. It’s like she’s the non-heathen version of me. She lives in Atlanta and says this in her bio: “My true passion is web development and design.”

They call this synchronicity, right?

I’m going to refrain from ripping into her too badly, though. Blog fighting is lame, and I’m really a nice person, ya know? (Just a heathen.) And she’ll probably end up here when she sees me in her referrer log, which she obviously checks compulsively, being a geek and all.

Merry Christmas… I’m a bitch.

(And If this provokes some kind of rabble in the comments, I’m just going to shake my head, sigh, chuckle, and NOT GET INVOLVED.)

    Gah, it looks more like her true passion is 800×450px mastheads. Jesus Usability Christ!

    And she left the “Valid XHTML” link on her Sidebar, but when you click it: Failed validation, 249 errors.

    That’s pretty bad, and very non-geeky. I at least had the sense to take that link off my page since I’m nowhere near valid anything…

    It is okay for the rabble in the comments.

    I am, what I like to call, a blog “bouncer”. See, I have this thing. Wherein I write absurd bullshit for one or two comments and then WHAM! a bitchslap with a treatise of my honest thoughts and then no one says shit afterwards (’cept you sometimes, but you get my vote for YES! to ruling the school. And I always knew I liked Penn for some reason.)

    I don’t know why I’m a threadkiller. Just the way I was born. We can’t choose these things, you know.

    And you? Ixnay on teh frizay? It wouldn’t be a fray withoutcha!

    Melissa,

    Me too. This is me with a fresh thread to comment on:

    Let’s say I go onto some guy’s web site and let’s say he’s even remotely interested in discussing something with me. Well then I get all excited I’m like Jojo the idiot circus boy with a pretty new pet. The pet is my chance to talk to people on the Internets. Oh, my pretty little pet, I love you. So I stoke it, and I pet it, and I massage it, hehe I love it, I love my little naughty pet, you’re naughty. Then I take my naughty pet and I go

    [makes ripping noises as he tears apart the roll]

    Uuuuuuh. I killed it. I killed the thread.

    That’s when I blow it. That’s when people like us gotta forge ahead, Melissa, am I right?

    WTF is that quote?

    Anyone who doesn’t recognize Tommy Boy quotes risks losing serious points in my book.

    The point is, how do you know the fairy isn’t a crazy glue sniffer? “Building model airplanes” says the little fairy, well, we’re not buying it. He sneaks into your house once, that’s all it takes. The next thing you know, there’s money missing off the dresser and your daughter’s knocked up, I seen it a hundred times.
