Mea Culpa or something.

[Veritas]

Hello everyone, I'm back online after a nice long sleep! Hurrah! :D

Anyhoo, I thought that seeing as I made a public arse of myself in certain other threads yesterday I should apologise for the offensive posts, also publically. By way of explanation I should say that when I was online last night, I had been awake for nearly forty straight hours, and although I wasn't at the hallucinating stage, I was impaired in my judgement, headachey, feeling sick and having occasional crying fits. This isn't an excuse for my behaviour, which I admit was cranky, touchy, bad tempered, call it what you will, it's just to show I wasn't acting 'normally'.

It's been brought to my attention that I have apologised for certain comments before, and the sincerity of my apologies could understandably be doubted, if I commit the same 'offence' again, so all I'll say at this point is, now that I am lucid and rested, I apologise to the people I offended yesterday. (Oh and this is of my own free will. The mods haven't contacted me which I'm actually a bit surprised at)! I also understand if people think, "Oh yeah, wait 'til the next time she's sleep-deprived, or drunk (which I wasn't yesterday, just very, very tired), or whatever..." So the best thing I can do at this point is be quiet for a bit, until people begin to realise that last night was one of my 'off-days' and that sometimes I can be a nice person. :yup: (When I make an effort).

This is turning into a bit of a mea culpa...Anyhoo, I can always be contacted by PM if anyone wanted to add anything further to this - less said about other matters the better! :blush:

Suffice it to say I shall make an effort to be a good girl from now on. :innocent:

[Ymir's blood]

There are no mods. If they had contacted you, then I'd be surprised. and afraid, very afraid.

[Veritas]

That explains a lot. :giggle:

[Legs]

Hi scarlet :hug:

[livius drusus]

It's cool, peaches. I was less than cucumberesque myself. I'm just relieved you finally got some sleep. :nod:

[Veritas]

Cucumberesque? Oh I just got that. :giggle:

I had a long sleep, did some chores, cooked dinner for a friend, went to the cinema, had a few people round for a vodka or three. So I feel better. Sleep pattern's still gone bugger-up but man, the difference to how I felt last night!

[godfry n. glad]

:relieved:

Boy howdy, am I glad.

Say, if you're done that bloody stump of my arm, can I have it back?

[Leesifer]

You're still up late. :D

[Veritas]

Actually, g'n'g, I did once send a bloodied stump through the post to a friend in Yorkshire.

But it wasn't a real one, promise. It was a comedy stump I bought from the shop in the Edinburgh Dungeon. Ho-ho-ho, Nichola's sent me a body part, that sort of thing. What friends I have!

[viscousmemories]

I think I was a little snippy myself yesterday, Peaches. No worries. :wave:

[godfry n. glad]

And as liv and vm can atest, I'm not shy about expressing myself when I'm riled.

I think I may be able to lay claim to the "King of Overkill" around here when it comes to cranky.

I am shy (that's not quite the right word) about expressing myself when riled. I've been practising lately but I don't think I've got it yet.

'peaches, there may be people you needed to apologise to but I must say I can't recall being offended by anything.

[pescifish]

Glad you got some sleep!

[godfry n. glad]

Glad you got some sleep!

Yeah, I did. But I wasn't having problems, Peaches was.

:whoa:

I'm not? Not one of the really cranky?

You mean...I've mellowed?

I thought just a couple days back you thought I was being purposefully irritating, making those comments about Cornwall and Wales.

I never did find out whether you intended to tear me limb from limb about it, or whether my explanation sufficed.

Peaches tried to beat me silent with the bloody stump of my arm, which she'd earlier disconnected from my torso with a whiplash angry response.

The funny thing is, I thought it all rather amusing....being an ignorant 'Merkin and all.

[Veritas]

*snort* You said merkin. :giggle:

[godfry n. glad]

*snort* You said merkin. :giggle:

You mean somebody else here actually knows the meaning of the word "merkin"?

:cheerup:

I thought I was the only one smirking when it was used. :D

[Dingfod]

A smirkin merkin. heh

[Veritas]

From my apology to pubic wigs in one thread. Ain't life grand?

[JoeP]

I'm not? Not one of the really cranky?

You mean...I've mellowed?You know there exists at least one crankier person than you in the annals of the Freethought Forum. Anyway, you're frequently mellow.

For the record, I wasn't going to tear you limb from limb ... with witnesses around.

I can think of two. It sounds like mellow with a dash of pedantic, from what people are saying.

Then there are those days...:storm:

And, hey, you wouldn't have been alone...you could have started a "pile on" and instead it morphed into a public hug thread.

[xyza]

I wonder what I missed, or maybe I'm just used to her so never noticed :think:
