I think Ryan Seacrest hates me.

[jlh]

Okay, huge warning, I am going to be totally whining in this post. I never do this because whining is really embarrassing but all of my rationalizations just aren't making this one go away.

ETA: "Whining, by Clio, aged way too old to be whining like a baby." has been removed by the editor for excessive and unnecessary emo.

And then ON TOP OF THAT, there's this Ryan video that everyone is squeeing over and I CANNOT WATCH IT because IT WON'T PLAY. I tried firefox and I tried Safari and all i can play is the ad and I have had a really horrible day and I seriously am sitting in my apartment crying because Ryan Seacrest hates me and has decided to show me this now, and never again will he want me to write about him or anyone connected with him.

ETA: I went to the Fox.com site and watched it from their homepage instead of on the AI site, so now I've seen it, and I feel better, and so I've taken down the whine, and I'm really sorry you guys, because I know every day that I'm just lucky that even one person wants to read my blatherings, and I was being childish. Thanks for being patient and realizing that I would guilt my way out of it.

I'm still worried, though, that Ryan hates me now.

god I am SO ASHAMED that I even posted that. I'm SO SORRY! Whining is never the answer to a funk. It's just true.

So thank YOU, thank you so MUCH, for being sweet when I was being sort of an ass. I really, REALLY appreciate that, and all the comments you make on my stories, and just knowing that you're out there.

I don't know if you've heard this yet, but hopefully it cheers you up.

well, i know i haven't commented yet and i truly am sorry because your comments on my fics are my life, so my point would be don't feel bad about whining because everyone gets to do it occasionally, and also you'd better not be talking pressimistically about a certain cakefic because i KNOW it's going to be a smash hit....

I realized today that the story will have EXPLANATORY FOOTNOTES. I can't even get my students to read something with footnotes for a grade, and all these people I want to read my story are the same age as my students. Though Allyson says they can just be links. But STILL. I love discursive footnotes, Julie. It's pathetic.

I think I just have the mean reds today and I feel all resentful. It's lame and unattractive. I know everyone gets to do it but this is a silly thing to waste my token on. Also? It was a month ago! Like, get over it, Clio. [insert world event with actual human suffering here to act as contrast in modern version of starving children in China]

I must have missed the original whine, so I'm just imagining what it might have been. And I have a Fruits Basket for you!:-)

I am SO GLAD you didn't see it because I would have been EMBARRASSED FOREVER. I was just being a brat.

I am so excited and OMG, I meant to text you but HAPPY BIRTHDAY and sorry that was late, and we need to have dinner like, now.

He doesn't hate you. He's just jealous of your fabulous hair and gorgeous lips!
