Bilious Rodents

Last fall, one of Jess's friends humorously threatened me by saying that, if I mistreated Jess in any way (we were dating at the time), she would call down upon me 'the ferrets of doom'.  Well, I may now suppose those ferrets to be headed my way, but if I may have any consolation, it is that Jess has called down upon her own head the 'marmots of self-pity and paranoia' (her latest blog entry is entitled 'I'm Being Persecuted').

Did I mention that Jess is now enlisting her aunt to rant at me via myspace messages?  If anyone needs to get over themselves, it's Jess (to whom I thought I would extend the small courtesy of identifying only obliquely by referring to her by her middle and last initials, L.S., rather than by her first; according to Amanda, I had completely forgotten Jess's first name, even though I was aware of her middle name, Lynn; the illogicality of this pathetic claim amazes me).

    I am now thouroughly amused with your Peter.

    You are NOT aware of my middle name....it is MICHELLE, not Lynn...the same as Laura Doss's. We actually had a conversation about that, if you will recall. It happens to make mine and my brother's initials the same...JMS. I just made two copies of my driver's license if you need proof.

    My aunt actually did all of that on her own. She is a grown woman...if you will note the time-stamp, the cc she sent me was almost 4 in the morning.

    And "I'm being persecuted" was another reference to another illogical argument you witnessed first hand...or do you not remember sending me a copy of Tempe's blog????

    Self-pitying? Paranoid? No, I seriously doubt that I am.

    I like how you've twisted some very important facts...mainly the one in which you insisted that we prank Lou the weekend you would be in Jacksonville.

    Yes, Jess, you've happened upon one of the nicer features of my brother-in-law's blogging software: comment editing. Glad I could amuse you; my guess is you need a good belly laugh.

    Shucks, I guess I lost the moral high road on that dispute with Amanda over the initials by which I referred to you (I still claim I was aware of your first name, but it could be that I was subconsciously trying to suppress it). Jess, why couldn't you be among the 85% or so of the American female population who have Lynn or Marie for a middle name?  As for your aunt's message (which I deleted without reading), do I dare ask if she were drunk when she sent it?

    Now that that's said and done, I no longer have the interest, time, or emotional energy to engage in this flame war with you (which is why I found our 'conversations' so tiresome in the first place). I have end-of-the-semester coursework that I need to take care of right now; don't you?

    I have no further plans to blog about this inane topic, and I sincerely hope that you have no further intentions of commenting on my blog; if you do, consider yourself duly warned that I'll delete them.

    Oh, and 'thoroughly' is the correct spelling you were looking for in your last comment; I've left that typo alone.  And my Peter is no longer available for your amusement.

    That's not how flame wars should end.

    One of you must make a Nazi reference. Until then, it's still on.

    Damn! I knew that I was forgetting something.  How about: (my excuse to my economics professor on why my annotated bibliography is late--again) "Goebbels propagandized my homework."
