For fans of flamewars, of which there is rumoured to be an overrepresentation around these parts although who knows, eh? the following transcripts, taken verbatim from the Twitter accounts of your fine blog hostess, mineownself, and John Berringer, will pay handsome dividends. Apologies for not threading them properly: I’m way lazy, yo. Some say these should be private messages, but since when have I ever been accused of an overabundance of … what’s the word … discretion?

For those of you who, quite sensibly, find you have quite a sufficiency of drama in your own lives without bothering your head about anybody else’s, you may click here for a random, and almost 62% likely to be aggro-free, post from the past.

And now, the transcript of raincoaster, in reverse chronological order (you might wish to read from the bottom up). At a certain point I just closed Twitter and went off and did my work; you can tell virtually the exact moment if you read his stream. His (considerably more amusing) stream is just below mine:

Does this make my ass look fat?

Does this make my ass look fat?

The secret is contouring, darlings.

In totally unrelated news, I started a new job last week (Yay! CeleBitchy is one of the very top gossip blogs in the world!) currently on the very leanest kind of part-time because my computer is so crashy and I’m so crushed for time. At last count I was actually working SEVEN part-time jobs, all to get enough money for a laptop, since some of the funding I was counting on to make that happen has failed to materialize. It’s only till the end of the month, but the odds that I will snap and commit recreational homicide are increasing by the day, particularly in relation to those who text me more than five times per day, or telephone me more than twice per day or at all before nine in the morning.

In related news, there are some consolations. Here’s a picture from the inaugural (and highly respectful) post I did for CeleBitchy, Prince Harry remembers on the 5th of November.
