(Not Really a) Question of the Day

Posted by beth on May 6, 2010

I just got an email from formspring informing me that someone had asked me a question. First of all, keep ‘em coming. I have one story to tell you about a hippie named Moon who talks to his paintbrush, but after that, I’m going to be out of things to talk about. Ok fine, I’ll probably come up with more, but seriously, use that box over there to ask me whatever you want. Or put questions in the comments. Or email me. Whatever. I love it.

So today’s question isn’t really a question at all. It just said:

please stop being so great.

Well, anonymous requester, I’m sorry, but this is just how I am. I know the awesome might be too much for you, or you might be jealous, or you might think you’re not worthy to ask me out to dinner, but I can’t change it. I will say one thing, though.

My greatness does not make you any less great.

So don’t be overwhelmed; just hop on the awesome train, and let’s go for a ride. And don’t be jealous; there’s plenty of fabulous in you too, I’m sure. And if you want to ask me out to dinner, PLEASE DO! You may not know it, but I have a pretty firm rule on saying yes to a first date with just about anybody. AND I’m kind of poor this month, so you could stand a chance at several dates until I get paid again. Not that I’d just be dating you for the food. Like I said, I’m sure you’re great.

And on the off chance you just meant that request as a compliment, why thank you. I like you, too. Now let’s go take over the world.
