For some reason it really cracked me up that you referred to a potential suitor as a PastaKing. LOL. hee hee. I am still laughing at that. Why I don’t know. LOL.

I agree with the whole stop censoring yourself so much. It takes the fun out of blogging. Who cares if you said cat vs rat. I don’t! And if you do accidentally offend someone (which is MUCH different from purposefully), it will just add some spice. I think we can endure that. You should know by now you cannot make everybody happy. :)

Defense!! Defense!!

I don’t know anything about sports.

I’m glad to hear, at least, that your third goal has nothing to do with a man. I am so tired of everyone I know making finding a man their #1 priority. Not that you shouldn’t think it would be nice, but there are other, more important things.

the thought of you being careful about what you write gives me sharp pain in my gut (or its possibly the chinese dumplings i devoured last night). either way…please please try and block us out as much as you can and just write whatever comes to mind. you are just too clever with your words and too sharp with your wit to keep everyone happy.

ive been meaning to say this for a long time…but i would be more than happy to pay for the indulgence of reading your blogs every week. i have trouble falling asleep at night from the guilt of not having to pay a cent to read your golden insights and random observations.

so far my favorite quote is (from my memory) “you are not going to find ‘inspiration’ written at the bottom of the ice cream carton.”

make sure you let me know when you are flying to australia to promote your book – my home is your home!!

Man I’m glad that only, like, 10 people read my blog. That is a damn lot of pressure to be under every time you want to write a post.

And, seriously, you are such a great writer. We all love you and I’ll just echo the “screw the haters” refrain, with a “I totally understand why you try not to piss people off unnecessisarily.”

Blog on, girlfriend.

You’re amazing. I know it can’t be easy being this exposed.

One thing I liked about your book was that while you were very funny, you also sounded calm and sensible. It helped me to relate to your experiences. I like for someone to have sensible boundaries. I kind of liked that you didn’t feel obligated to reveal everything. It was fun thinking about the third goal, it got me thinking about my own goals.

I’m glad you cleared that up! Here I was assuming that goal #3 was about a guy.

You should stop self-editing a few of your entries and see what happens. You never know; people might like reading you even more. If that’s even possible!
