Who knew I had a line? Not me.
So, I’m writing some posts and just sort of spouting off and not editing myself (not that I ever edit myself because trust me, I don’t). When I read back over what I had just written and it was something along these lines, “maybe, if you read my blog, you are feeding a starving child.” And as I read that and realized that I had actually written it- I thought “Ok contrary one, starving children jokes cross the line.” and then I thought in response to that, “Wait, I have a line???” I mean, I never say things that really offend people (like discriminatory things) but I have often been heard saying things that one might think of as “off-color” you know, like things that aren’t offensive but are nonetheless inappropriate or cringe-worthy. Occasionally things that have been referred to as “harsh” but boy oh boy when I read what I wrote about starving children- I had to step back and re-evaluate my life.
I’m not going to blog about what I found when I re-evaluated my life because I don’t want to freak you out. I mean, usually I’m not worried about whether or not you’re freaked out- but the new Girl on the Contrary is very worried about freaking you out. Because I freaked myself out a little bit. There is a lot of crazy stuff in this head of mine. You only get a small dose of it. Oops, I may have just freaked you out. Ok- the new new Girl on the Contrary is going to try really hard not to freak you out. Probably. Although my trying hard might mean I will try hard until I forget about it. Which might be tomorrow. Or sooner. Sorry.
So, just so we are clear. Starving children jokes absolutely cross the line. Please make a note of that. Because reading this blog does not feed any children. It doesn’t even feed me.

Starving children jokes are both hilarious and sexy.
Huh. Good to know.

I know you’re not writing this blog for me. I know you are doing it for you and that you want to get as many eyeballs on your page as possible. However, I block that out since I enjoy reading your blog. Having said that, I think it’s time you freaked us out a little. Adds spice to things and takes your blog in a dangerous direction. That’s a good thing. I like danger. I make starving children jokes. I’m originally from Africa and moved here ten years ago so I usually have a different spin on the jokes but I do them anyway. I want people to have those children on their minds. So you should too.
You raise some good points. It’s all under consideration. Thanks for always reading!!!
I really want the old girl on the contrary back. I mean starving children .. ok that is a problem. But what about long lines at the bank. Now that is something to be angry about.
Don’t worry. I’m still me. That was a momentary thing. And yes, you are right long lines at the bank are definitely something to be angry about!
don’t be so hard on yourself, we all have these moments
self-censorship is not necessary. feel free to freak us out (I gues I should say “me” instaed of “us”)
Thanks. I’m pretty sure I will continue freaking you out so no worries there.
