i have to go get fil another birthday present cos i made him open them all except for the one thing i got him to try on with his eyes closed and even this morning i tried to get him to wear it to work HELLO RETARD CALLED THEY SAID FUCK OFF RAYMI so i’m going to get him to drive me to the area of where it is so i can purchase it meanwhile it is quite a big thing so i don’t know how i will hide it i will have to walk down the street and wrap it at the same time and then when i get it home and he is drinking on the couch i will have to drape a bunch of crap over it and pretend like it is furniture OH THIS? WE’VE HAD THIS OTTOMAN AGES, DOOD. i was going to get him a non-stick frying pan cos the other one is dunzo but that is kind of a sharesies gift and i didn’t want to spend over a hundred dollars on one at williams sonoma. that’s a decentish pair of shoes fuck that. if i am going to spend a hundred+ the thing i buy better be as big as a fucking ping pong table also how much of an asshole would i be if i am like happy birthday here is a frying pan hi guess what i am 70 now ooh lets heat up some butter and make shrimp. gay.
the other thing i was going to get him was some sort of DIY nerdy science kit like build your own rocket or something like that but then i thought what if he blows his face off, not cool. i could get a him an ant farm cos ants are pretty safe tho pretty boring, maybe fire ants, fire ants are cool.
merkley???: people dont understand that it takes effort to remain interesting they fail to recognize the work and dedication — even though it comes naturally — there is work i hate them
me: yes seriously some nites when i cant sleep i think of shit to write and zingers
merkley???: i know
me: andthen when i get up i initiate them and then they work there is nothing more painful than forgetting a great zinger
merkley???: well i can see that — and the best part is that you work hard enough that to the outsider non creator it seems effortless thats why i love going after the lazy schlubb no talent havers that make the mistake of making unqualified criticisms
me: yeah the latest and my personal favorite is I CANT READ RAYMIS BLOG OMG I DONT UNDERSTAAAAND IT IS THAT EVEN ENGLISH uh sorry that your nerd eyes cannot comprehend COOL
merkley???: no its not english — its cool english and you have to be black or cool to understand it except not black that part was just kidding BTW lately i like to say just kidding after totally normal things
me: hahaahahaa
merkley???: like while ordering i’d like a big mac just kidding

Mi name is Martin, and by now, I’ve hitting your blog with some regularity. I’m no blogger, and that makes me wonder how and why I stumbled into your blog (because I REALLY don’t remember). Nevertheless, that was a non regrettable event.
The first time saw it, it was called “do you want to be my friend?”, and this I do remember: when I finished reading it, I told to my self: “hell yes, I want to be your friend”. Why? well, let me say that I think You’re an absolutely interesting person.
So, here’s this e-mail, asking the same question just right back at You.
fil wrote an email defending my honour to cp’s comments made here:
hi cp this is phil, raymi’s boyfriend.
i just read your comment and wanted to make a few points:
- i think the comments in hdw’s blog initially attacked raymi without her having said anything about hdw. i read them earlier and thought that they were cheap, immature and uncalled for, but to each their own. i certainly didn’t see any comments by hdw asking people to cut it out.
- the suggestion that the way raymi’s friends behave on other peoples’ blogs is a reflection on her is just plain wrong for two reasons: 1. of the thousands of hits raymi gets a day, probably a dozen are friends and i can assure you that none of those people are interested in wasting their time arguing with others about who has a better blog; and 2. a blogger, or a writer, or an artist cannot be held accountable for the actions of their readers or listeners or fans [unless they specifically endorse and encourage the actions for which we would hold them accountable] – if that was the case then j.d salinger should be in jail for not telling mark chapman not to shoot anyone. raymi doesn’t tell people what to do and it sure as hell isn’t her job to enforce or even encourage some kind of morality amongst her readers that you deem appropriate.
i am older than your husband and regardless of my being with her, raymi’s writing constantly impresses and entertains me. people who judge writing based on adherence to grammar and ‘appropriate’ topics are disappointingly narrow-sighted.
this lady would not fucking move she saw me with my camera and just turned away chatting on her fone so fine i will take a photo of your olympic pool-lengthed ass happy shopping!
