The Dark Side Is Beckoning…
Posted By AmyD. on March 28, 2007
Ok, so I got reviewed. 3 out of 5 smacks. Not too shabby, I know. It wasn’t all hugs and smooches, obviously. 
Avi has repeatedly tried to convince me that this was a good review. I really should accentuate the positive and elimInate the negative and all that other happy crappy. I’ll give that a try. Tomorrow. If you haven’t yet, you should read the review and then read the comments – talk about an ego boost, even if one of the comments is from my self-proclaimed #1 fan (only about 10 degrees off of that creepy Stephen King version). 
Seems like most people agree my stuff is funny. I think it’s all sunshine and puppy dog funny though, maybe with a slight edge. I’ve got dark funny and the devil on my shoulder (aka Avitable) is still trying to sway me to the dark side. If I had an evil twin it would be Avi and he would wear the badge proudly because he’s a pretty cool dude like that.
Letting out the dark funny is a mixed bag. Most of my stories involve my mother, sister, or long-deceased grandmother. My mother could hit this blog on the wrong day, find a story like that and either hit me with a comment correcting the story or nuke my ass entirely. She’s a full-time substitute teacher with what is becoming a nearly psychotic edge and I’ve decided unless it really suits me that I’m not going to cross her. Today anyway.
But, let’s face it, eventually blogger’s block is going to strike with a fury and I’m going to have to reach into the family closet and start pulling out the skeletons.
Mom, consider this your notice. It could happen any damn time. 
PS: Yes, Avi, I changed the damn header, ok, I caved. Not entirely… but slightly, I admit it. Sue me… *awkward pause* er… wait. Nevermind.
PSx2: Now, go visit Avi the Magnificent at his new virtual abode Avitopia or some crap like that. I might have had a hand in its’ creation… maybe www.avitable.com

congrats on the smackage
Avi’s right… 3 smacks is pretty good. That’s well above average.
smacked hey? i didnt know you were into that type of thing!
I am a fucking brain vampire! That last sentence of your post has so many mistakes it made my head hurt.
I’ll correct it for you:
I’m sad that you caved, but what exactly did you do? Shrink the header? Well, that’s not too bad.
I’m not sure what you did either, but undo it. The pink of Amy’s Musings is ginormous now all of a sudden. Put it back.
And, you got more smacks than I did. Whore.
Christie Thank you!
Joe I know… I know…
Bluepaintred Hmmm, well, I do have to be in the mood.
Avitable Pfft. I don’t know WHAT you are talking about. I don’t see any mistakes. No, I didn’t shrink the header. I just sort of enlarged the text so it filled the space more.
Miss B Pffft. Picky bitch.
I like it… bite me. Notice I didn’t say anything bad about that hideous purple color you did your blog in. Ooops. 
You left the apostrophe!
That title is pretty huge! Heh. I like it.
I think you got a good review also.
Don’t be swayed by the fact that I got 10 smacks sway you or anything. Three smacks is pretty good.
You should turn the tables and do a review of the reviewer – LOL
Fuggem. Be you. That’s who we love. Thank your luck stars you’re not Kathy Sierra. I am.
Congratulations on the smackage! 3 is pretty damn good!
I totally didn’t understand what they thought the problem with your header was. the letters didn’t look blurry to me at ALL.
Oh man I need to resubmit my blog over there…but I’m skeered! Kudos for being brave
