I’m back! Well, sorta. I have a ton of unpacking and laundry to do. I had no idea how much crap three kids would need for a weekend so I packed everything I could think of… we barely had room for anything else in the vehicle.
Since I’m semi busy, I’m going to take this opportunity to use someone else’s popularity to promote my own.
On friday in Twitter-Land, there is this thing that people do called #FF, which means Friday Follow/Favorite Follow. You use this to suggest other tweeters to your followers. Kris @ Pretty All True #FF’d me, but it wasn’t actually me she intended to #FF. I was all excited that she had suggested me, then come to find out she had flubbed. I put on my sarcastic hat and went after it with the ranting and accusations that she didn’t love me anymore. There was a suggestion she send me flowers, but she ended up sending me a written apology (keep in mind this is all in fun, because we have an understanding and meaningful relationship) for the “mis-tweet.”
Here is the email I received last night. I peed a little.
Dear Roxane –
You know how, after an amazing sexual encounter, you are eager to share the news with complete strangers so that they too might experience the fabulousness that was your latest conquest?
And so you head to the local public bathrooms, Sharpie marker in hand, to proclaim your love?
And then you are in the stall, all flushed with the power of your love, and all eager to share? And so you write on the wall, Give Roxane a call at 867-5309, because she will fucking blow your mind!! And then just as you are opening up the bathroom door, you remember that the woman who blew your mind?
Is named Cathy.
Oops.
But now it’s all written in Sharpie and sort of permanent.
You do not get a chance to head back in to scribble all over the whole thing, because waiting in line to use this very stall?
Roxane.
Oops.
And she gets all pissed off, because although the two of you have been flirting? You have not yet approached the writing one another’s names on bathrooms walls stage of your relationship.
And then you realize that this bitchy angry woman named Roxane?
YOU LOVE HER!
And so you agree to apologize in a public forum.
Done.
I do love you, Roxane.
My apologies,
Kris

This is – basically – the greatest.apology.ever.
I know right?!?!? I love her. A LOT.
Awww… TENDER… =D
It was pretty TENDER wasn’t it? She is so thoughtful!
Hilarious! What an amazing apology!
Kris is quite the word-smith. She never fails to make me laugh. Hysterically.
All apologies should be so awesome!
wow…a personal apology from Kris. i am green with envy. not that she jacked you over but that she HAD to write your name on the bathroom stall! i’d give my left tit to have Kris write that she loves ME on the bathroom wall!
Muahahaha!!! Be jealous you all!!!
The fact that she wrote my name on the stall while meaning to write someone else’s? Makes it that much better. Kinda like saying someone else’s name during sex…
She didn’t really jack me over. It was just sort of a twitter “fumble.” I still love her just as much, if not more.
Cathy? Is that you?
Good lord, this is a smallish universe.
I need to stop sleeping with everyone in it.
It was your name I MEANT to write, babe.
Sigh.
Forget Cathy! It’s me you want!!!
I think we just got to the sharpie phase…well I did anyway. Thanks for this! I loved it.
Kris + Roxane= Tru<3 4ever
OK, but <3?
I always read that as "pointy mustache over boobs."
I mustache boob you as well.
Awww! ::blushes::
Kris and I started blogging at the same time. Evidently I was the first person to follow her on twitter. She did a shout out for that one! I heart Kris…she is AMAZING. I want to be her when I grow up.
Oh, me too! Not a firefighter or an astronaut. I wanna be Kris! Thanks for the visit. I’m so glad you came.
Roxane…don’t change your number. I want to make you mine.
Done and done!
I just may have to follow this chickie—you all have got my curiosity up!
Most definitely you should. She was my first
If you don’t know Pretty All True you are seriously missing out.
That could so be in a Hallmark card.
Bound to be a bestseller!
To have Kris write your name on the bathroom wall, in permanent ink no less? Is pretty damn awesome. Now, I don’t know about giving up my left tit, because I would be really disturbingly lopsided without it. I have lost my ass on her behalf tho, and for me? That’s a pretty big feat, right there.
I am honored, to say the least.
I know what you mean about losing your ass. I’ve laughed mine off multiple times. And lost some lung chunks, too.
Sweet and dirty…yup, that about sums her up!
And now I am lost in roller skating memories with “Jenny” in my head.
Perfect descriptors. Her sweet-and-dirty-ness is why I love her.
I can’t get the song out of my head…
I heard there is a bunch of angry mind blowing women over here.
I had to come witness it myself.
I feel dirty and intrigued all at once.
Oh, yes indeedy, we are quite mind-blowing!
Dirty and intrigued was my goal with this one. It worked!
I was going for filthy and curious . . . that is one of my favorite combos!
Close enough.
Even better…wait, that’s the same thing. You’re confusing me with your synonyms.
I like it when you get me all confused
I can’t believe I missed all the juicy twitter hairpulling and subsequent make-up letters. You’re both just awesome!
You should have been there. It was epic.
I can’t compare in any way to Kris’s awesomeness, but thank you!
Now, is that just the sweetest thing ever or wha-yut? Did she mean to #FF Moxane Rock?
It was totally sweet! I got a little teary-eyed to tell the truth.
I can’t remember who she meant to #FF, but I don’t care. As long as it’s my name she’s tweeting/writing/screaming.
What?
It wasn’t until I read this post that I realized how utterly empty my life has been – my name has never been written on a bathroom wall.
I mourn.
IRL? I don’t think mine has either.
But, hey, we can dream, right?
Roxane, UPS is on their way with your Unexpected Guest Kit! Because I just think you are a swell person with a dynamite blog, I’m going to send it to you for free. Make sure you hide those Pop Rocks from your kids! (Ended with a big smile & a wink)
What a deal! I can’t wait to get it.
The UGK is bound to save my sanity. Yipee!!!
Yep, this is all just awesomeness. Two of my favorite bloggers together in the same post? What more could I ask for!
I loved having Kris here for the day. She is my biggest inspiration. I’m so proud to have my name written on that bathroom stall.
I’m one of your favorites?!?! Wow. I’m feeling a little giddy now. Thank you!
