Oatmeal?

First offs, happy Easter to y'all! The ol' bunny o' wonder came to me* and brought with 'im** money, chocolate, chocolate chips, chocolate truffles, chocolate sauce, and MALT EGGS!!

mmmm. THAT's the good stuff.

I know this comment will spark a certain amount of debate. Lyss, for one, does not like these malt eggs. She thinks they are "gross". However, to rebut her point, i think her beloved peeps are "Ew-inducing". So we're even.



Anyway, the point of the title is that i'm worried of losing my edginess****. Last night, my blog was "infiltrated" by a wonderful lady. I'm not sure if i've mentioned her on here before, but it's MY MOTHER! I really do love this woman as much as i was apalled and shocked that she would read my blog!!?!?! The reason is confusing even to me. Why can i publish all of this without giving a hoot who sees it, UNLESS it's my mama? The internet is a very public place, i know that for a fact. So why is it that when someone i've never met from Oregon or Maine comments i'm enthralled, but when the woman who, in all honesty, probably knows me better than anybody sees it, i am offended?

Maybe the reason is as simple as wanting to have some secrets. Perhaps it's that i know she has the power to punish me for anything i say on here*****. And while i don't exactly walk around writing &^%## or !!!!!#%%*($^&%@, without a REAL authority figure reading what i write, I COULD.

And that is a little odd to me. Do i need to always have that random, bizarre freedom? Should i need to? It's weird.



Anyway, i just don't want to sound boring now that i know i need to quote-unquote "censor" everything i write. I don't want to be boring and blahhh and not saying anything of interest for fear of repercussions and consequences.

not my goal

*Well, i know what you're thinking right now. You're thinking, "That's an awful lot of abbreviations/apostrophes***!" OH YEAH!?!? OH YEAH?!?! Go' e'a't a' pr' o' pnts'. I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE.
**Now i'm just messin' wit' ya'.

***This is a totally tangenty-tangent, but i CANNOT STAND IT when people think they are being all clever and rhetorical in asking "Why is abbreviation such a long word?" You know why? Abbreviation is such a "long word" {i put it in quotes, because, relatively speaking, twelve letters isn't actually a really long word. Hippopotomonstrosesquipedalianism.} because the latin roots say so!

****I know, i know, "What edginess?" Just scroll on back up and wait for me to justify this comment.

*****That's right. Y'all don't.
