A Different Place
I have my blog linked to my Blackberry so that I can get comments and posts immediately as they’re posted. Sometimes I get replies on older posts, and I’m surprised when that happens. Tonight I got the most peculiar comment from a post over a year ago…
I only get the comment, not the post it’s referenced to, so as I read it, I had no idea what it was in reference to. It bothered me so much that I came home and looked it up, then realized with a heavy heart how bitchy I was being when I wrote that post.
It’s no excuse, but I was in a completely different place when I wrote that. I was riding high on my horse, thinking I was better than I am, and being completely insensitive to the girls involved.
Yes, the issue was silly. But it wasn’t silly to THEM. To them, it was very serious, and I made light of it in a condescending and mean way.
So this is my heartfelt apology to Someone Hurt. I wrote the post over a year ago, and I’m a much different person now, in a very different place. I always invite people to challenge me when I’m being bitchy, and this person did so without personally attacking me, which I really appreciate. You are right; I let the girl down. Perhaps if I hadn’t had my conceited head stuck up my ass at that time, I would have been more sensitive.
If it means anything to you, at least you know karma got me on that one; it will be a very, very long time before I ever have a cool car worth taking a picture with again…

Aww Kristie, how bad I feel for you, if the person that you are referring to is who we think it is then there is really no need to apologize, she will be just fine, I think she is just venting at anyone that will listen now because she is going through some pretty hard times right now and I dont think Karma got you on this one so that you wouldn’t have a cool car for a long time, I think life happens and unfortunately you got a crappy deal, but I have no doubt you will come out on top. You are a strong person and I admire your strength, I dont think I could be as strong. And I also happen to know if Someone Hurt is who we think it is, she looks up to you as well and thinks you are a pretty awesome person.

I got one of those last night as well. It was for my “underwear post”. Definitely one of my most popular posts. That was almost 2 years ago.
