i don't take myspace seriously, and don't think anyone else should either.
getting upset about anything remotely myspace related is ridiculously juvenile and, well, just ridiculous.

which is why when my boyfriend received a very insulting, completely inappropriate myspace message about me today from the scorned, insecure (and apparently bat-shit insane) girlfriend of an ex of mine, my initial anger quickly evolved into a tragicomic mix of pity and humor.

(to put the story in context, i did send this ex an email two weeks ago. the first one in over a year-stating clearly that i was in a very happy relationship and was just dropping a note to wish him and his girlfriend well. he responded that they had moved in together, and had gotten a puppy-even sent me a flickr link to show how happy they were. wonderful. end of story, or so i thought.)

what did this girl seek to accomplish by calling me names to my boyfriend whom she had never met? did she really take the time to research mine and my boyfriends profiles to make sure that she was sending her masterpiece to the right male in my top 8?

it was all nothing short of laughable.

in the end, i sent her a very nice email, saying that i was genuinely pleased to see how happy they look, how cute their dog is, how beautiful they had made their home, and that i apologize if my intentions had been misunderstood.

fucking bitch writes me back that she doesn't believe a word i say.

i guess she's right not to. i did lie.
but about one thing only.

that dog is fucking hideous. someone should make korean food or a football out of it.
