I'm Glad I Have to Explain Myself on My Own Blog.
An open letter to friends of friends who feel like my blog is the best place to take out your frustrations with me:
With all due respect, I have no respect for you.
In what was clearly a post designed to a) only poke fun at myself, and b) open the forum to my actual friends who would like to have a light, tongue-in-cheek discussion about how terrible I am in courtship-type situations, I'm glad that you found the courage to lash out at me. I'm also sure that Allison appreciates you airing your (and assumably by proxy, her) private beef with me over the open airways of cyberspace.
Secondly, thanks for assuming I'm stupid. I was not, in fact, calling out to KLE for relationship advice. I was merely recognizing, in my own thoughts, that one who had torched me and my prowess with the ladies in the past would leap at the opportunity to further our fictious love-hate rivalry when presented with such an obvious incident of "apk is an idiot." I am thoroughly aware of your general disdain for me, as a group, understand it, and have accepted it.
Finally, if you wanted to start some sort of Cybergeddon where you thought I'd fight back and lash out and defend myself, think again. But I will make this short retort. 1) I've never met you, so there's absolutely no way you can possibly know both sides of the story. 2) Since there's no way you know both sides of the story, there's no way you can ever even remotely (let alone "fully") understand this situation to the point that it is either worthwhile or necessary for me to discuss it with you. I certainly won't debate whether she's a great girl. All I can say is that I have always tried to be as honest and fair with her as possible.
And also that any circumstances relating to her are entirely totally unconditionally unrelated to me thinking a girl at Bath & Body Works is cute. You all need to get over yourselves.
The funny thing is, I acutually considered not posting that one silly little anecdote because of reasons like those that you insinuated. However, I realized that the reason I'm not posting so much around here is because of the way I have to antiseptically censor myself at every turn anymore, because I have to think about things like, "wait, this girl likes me and it might make me seem to be like a jerkass if i post about another girl," when the point of the story is that I don't know how to close the deal, and ask for a cute girl's number, and would like some recommendations (serious or otherwise) on how to pull that off. This is my place to hang out and joke with my friends and keep a running track of the intricacies and minor hilarities and observances of my life. Thanks for using it as a sounding board to attack someone you neithert know nor could possibly understand.
For an instance this morning, I considered closing the Kingdom altogether, because tI'm tired of protecting everyone's feelings in my own private space. It's neither fair to me, nor anyone reading who wants to know what I'm thinking. I'm not being true to anyone. If that's what you were going for, congrats, you almost won. If you'd rather I take the "gloves off," so to speak, and explain to all, once and for all, in the middle of the internet, why I didn't date Allison, it's not going to happen for a number of reasons. Especially, for one, because I seem to have more respect for her and her private affairs than you do. I will thank you, though. If all of her friends are as judgmental, overbearing, uncouth, and immature as you, I may have inadvertedly avoided a lifetime of headaches (no offense KLE).
Hope this didn't add too much to my "typical melodrama."
And to crib from Peter Griffin,

PGH out.

To my true friends:
I am considering moving the Kingdom and giving out the address via personal invitation. Consider a "free membership," so-to-speak, because I'd like to get back to posting my pure, unadulterated thoughts. Please post-up with your thoughts, and whether you would want to know how to find me.

Jeez, I don't check your site for a couple days and I find myself somehow dragged into mudslinging. To make my own position clear, I am completely aware that ANYTHING I say concerning one particular subject is going to be ignored/discounted anyway, so I reserve my comments so ones that are general and sarcastic- as I was invited to do. I think you and I both understand my position on certain issues, apk. I also think that was Lisa's one and only vent session (ten bucks says she hears it from the lady in question), so there's really no need to pack up and move. But a final thought- I thought that's what your blog was for: to explain yourself. True, it will always be edited for content and to protect the not-so-innocent, but it's an explanation (of sorts). Chicago out.

First line of Lisa blog "I'm just an insane 25 year-old with too much free time on my hands..."
Understatement? I think not
