...Or, I was wrong, and glad of it!

Oh my!
Hi, this is Hope (Sandy from "Brodie").
I though that was you at Thundercloud! I most definitely recognized you, but considering we recently formally met, I wasn't positive if it was you or not..I am known to mistake people for the wrong person.
If I could right now at 3am go knock on your door and give you a tremendous hug to let you know how sorry I am, I would! Really, I hope you read this first thing in the morning because you have no idea how much I respect you (from even knowing you a little bit!) and how much I sincerely appreciated you attending our shows and writing such amazing reviews on it. It made me really proud our production and made me feel like our class accomplished something tremendous!
I don't want you to feel hurt at allll by us not saying hi! Honest, I wasn't sure and I was scared of looking like a fool saying hi to some woman who may or may not be you!
..But next time..I will say hi to anyone who looks remotely close to anyone I know because I do not want anyone to feel how you felt earlier today.
I'm sorry this comment is long and probably very scattered, but the LAST thing I'd ever want you to feel is hurt by some stupid thing I did earlier. I wouldn't spend my time reading your "Rants by Ronni" if I didn't care about you or your opinion.
I hope this made you feel somewhat better..
And I happen to believe Thundercloud Subs is amazing, and anyone who can juggle two demanding jobs, a family, and attend more than one of her son's theatre productions all at once very much deserves my respect. And take my word for it..you do have my respect, and I apologize I didn't show you that earlier.
Honest.

ReplyDeleteI am very impressed this young lady took the time to comment on your blog. It gives me great hope in my kids' generation.
ReplyDeleteAnd, Ronni, I hope you do feel better.
I do feel MUCH better! In fact, so much so that I feel like an idiot for suspecting these kids of being so petty! I should have understood the "potential for embarrassment" factor.
ReplyDeleteBTW, nice to see both of your personalities commenting! LOL!
...And Eric came by and brought me a plant.
ReplyDeleteThank you both.
I'm sorry I flew off the handle. Brendan tells me I worry too much about what people think. I guess that's true.
I've got so used to having Jim as a buffer between myself and the rest of the world that I have forgotten how to get on by myself.
I am too sensitive.
Don't be sorry about anything,
ReplyDeleteI'm just happy we cleared that up! :)

I'm a day late and a dollar short, but I was thinking it is likely a question of context -- I was once involved in setting up a tour company, and in the office one of the secretaries was extra supportive and infact showed up at our first official paid gig, a local float home festival. I could not for the life of me put a name to the face and it was because she was not in an office under florescent lights.
ReplyDeleteShe had to introduce herself and I felt crazy stupid.
But not mean, just thick.
