I just got mentioned on another blog today as Andrew Williams, "The Fabulously Unrepentant Gossip"!
Ha!
Not sure if I'm mortified -- or if I should change the name of my blog!
It's by a writer named Mitchell Allen, from a site called Morpho Designs. (You may recognize his name from several hysterical comments.)
Mitch loves the English language and has a unique writing style! He can sling words around like crazy, and still come out with something perfectly readable and often as not, full of wisdom.
Way off topic tonight -- but if you're a lover of the English language, jump into Mitch's site. He'll "rearrange you 'til you're sane". Ha!
And just off hand, here's the YouTube link to Pink Floyd's "Brain Damage". (Which is not to suggest, of course, that Mitch is deranged in any way whatsoever. Ha!)
Thanks for stopping by tonight!
The Unrepentant Gossip,
aka, Andrew
OMG!
We've been enjoying your information posts a lot. But as I told you once before in an email, a little more GOSSIP on this blog woldn't hurt one bit! lol! Still curious about what is going on in your employers troubled marriage. Hope you'll keep us updated. Marion
ReplyDeleteThanks for saying that, Marion! I needed a little lift tonight! Ha!
ReplyDeleteAnd I will most certainly keep writing about what's going on around here -- if not in a dedicated post, at least in the "Monthly Updates".
Thanks so much for reading!
Andrew
I hate to admit this, but your 'gossip' stories about the family you work for keeps me checking in day after day. LW
ReplyDeleteI agree with the comment by LW!
ReplyDeleteGive us more dirt!!!! lol!
To LW and Andrea Leftwich,
ReplyDeleteI'll certainly keep your suggestions in mind! Ha!
But confidentiality agreements keep me from letting loose with the big guns -- which is really hard to deal with. HA!
Andrew
Andrew You always brighten my day ! Keep writing and I'll keep reading !!!!!!! kek
ReplyDeleteHi KEK,
ReplyDeleteYou brighten my day too. Thanks for reading.
Andrew
As the viciously delicious Dorothy Parker once said,
ReplyDelete"If you don't have anything nice to say, sit by me."
Dahling Andrew, I'm not leaving your side!!
Bliss-ings,
the goddess known as Jacqui
I knew you'd see the positive and fun side of being labeled a "gossip", dear Jacqui!
ReplyDeleteWe need to rendezvous at the Algonquin Hotel some afternoon, plunk down at the legendary Roundtable -- and have a nice long chat! (I have so much to tell, which can't POSSIBLY be put down in writing! Ha!)
Hope you're enjoying the maddness of the holidays!
Andrew
Andrew, do you ever tire of mindlessly shrieking "Ha!" upon every conceivable opportunity?
ReplyDeleteI could trudge through much more of your blog were it not for this all-too-frequent and painfully misplaced blurting amidst your otherwise pleasant flow of writing.
Ok, my dear Count,
DeleteI've been savoring this reply -- but just WHO is forcing you to 'trudge' through my blog? Or do you just enjoy torturing yourself? Ha!
The thing is, I'm usually laughing my head off when I write these essays, and I'm mortified to think someone might take me seriously. Thus the attempt to set the tone, and lighten the mood.
I do appreciate the advice. And if you think there's a lot of "Ha's" now, you should see the first drafts before the editor gets her hands on it!
But advice well taken, and I'll try to limit the interjections to the most appropriate moments.
You will admit (that) I've successfully elminated the word "that" almost 100 percent from my essays -- except at such times (that) it cannot otherwise be avoided. But eliminating "Ha!" will be an even bigger challenge!
And thank you, Count Consonance, for your grudging compliment -- "otherwise pleasant flow of writing". Which I appreciate.
Don't go away! I love this kind of exchange, even though you come across as a total bitch. Ha!
Andrew
