Moye's Day Improves

Oh my gosh, I almost forgot! TODAY IS TANABATA DAY. Yeah yeah, over in England, it was National Kissing Day but why would you ever want to have a kissing day? That's disgusting. That's how oral herpes and other gross contagious diseases get spread around. So stop kissing! BAN NATIONAL KISSING DAY! Practice safe sex! Use dental dams!
Instead, celebrate boring old fairy tales from Japan! Tonight (er...rather, right now, Tokyo time) is Tanabata Day, or Star Festival Day, which is all about some old story where two lovers (a star princess and some dude) were separated by the Milky Way and allowed to only meet once a year. On the seventh day of the seventh month, the Vega and Altair stars (representing the two lovers) can be seen together in the sky (if you can even see the stars, with all the pollution that happens) and we all go crazy by writing wishes on colorful pieces of paper and tying them to the branches of a bamboo tree, which you can either display outside your front door or dump into a river.
One year, I wrote down my wish to get a Super NES console and guess what? IT CAME TRUE. I played MarioKart for like a month to my heart's content, and then I forgot all about it.

Oooo SNAP!
Personally, I don't mind the delivery when the message is: buy a bamboo tree, tie paper to the branches, drive out to a river (With water 100 mi. without 18mi.) and then discard the whole thing.
It's cutesy in a japanimation sort of way but I'll stick with the fat man and Christmas - you get more than one present and you get to keep the tree for almost a month.

Moye, dear, your histrionics are no substitute for a subtle wit. Sit down, take a few deep breaths and forget all about that "COOLEST ANGELENOS UNDER 30" nonsense. You need to shut that trap and spend more time studying James. Follow him around WeHo for a few weeks. Remember: mouth closed, ears open. Then you may learn how to say something funny without spitting all over us.

Do NEVA' test the Moye.
Instead of shitting in her livingroom, why don't you try working on your own site for a bit. Five stories, and only 7 comments total? Pfffst. Fucking brownie.
I, like many others, fucking live for Moye.

Oh, look, my first Internet hater. If only you knew me in real life.
And thanks, YCKTR. :)

Certain posts are abundantly commented on my blog, but you are completely right. Who the fuck am I to be pooping in someone else's house? To tell you the truth, I don't know what came over me, other than the fact that I'm a lonely, middle-aged loser living in the boonies with apparently nothing better to do than to pick on cute Japanese girls who are popular in LA.
Moye didn't deserve that. I hope she realizes my comments are a function of my unhappiness rather than an indication of her fitness as a contributor to this blog.

Sweet! I popped your cheery!
> If only you knew me in real life.
Yeah, I think that myself all the time when dealing with some of my "fans."
I'm sorry, Moye. I'm really a nice person too. Ask Bunny. But I'm apparently harboring some vindictive bitchiness that sneaks out of me before my empathy engages.
Just think of my comment as a childish lashing-out at the universe for not serving up my life the way I want it right now. I'm sorry I had to involve you in that. You definitely didn't deserve it.

Don't worry Jodyr - I used to poop here ALL the time. Then the meds kicked in...mostly.
I'm actually REALLY surprised at your response - I was bracing myself for yet another episode of "Everyone Hates the Rooster." You've proven yourself to be above that sort of thing. And although, I'm not really sure how to react to such adult behavior, I'm impressed nonetheless.
And Moye, I'll be your playground bodyguard ANY day of the week.

Yeah. I need to be stoned ALL the time.
