It turns out that it's a terribly good thing that I am taking myself off the market because I may be a menace to men. Also that I am going to hell.
When one has a blog, one knows that there is certain information that can be placed out there that might be read by people you do not intend to be readers, such your date from the night before.
Mind you we never spoke of my blog, not once, and normally I delete the tag in my emails to people I don't know that well, but he's a smart guy and followed the one I mistakenly left. What a terrible thing to find about yourself on the internet. I can only imagine how he must possibly feel.
He left a very lengthy comment on the post that I have deleted because, well now it's a bit sensitive and perhaps I need to discuss this with him. Though I'm sure he must have considered it private in the first place and since it no longer is I thought here would be a good place for a very sincere apology.
Dear Mister
I am so sorry that my words have damaged a stranger. It's possible in the past, I would have wished them to hurt someone who hurt me but as you didn't really do anything to me (you were very sweet in fact!) I should have been a bit more careful. I don't expect forgiveness, and I already know I should have some terrible karma for this one.
The things I said were not reflections on you as a person, merely my writers dramatic interpretation of my personal opinion. You are a wonderful person who will make someone really really happy someday. I think we both know it's not me. Did I mention I have clinical depression that sometimes affects my judgment? Yeah, not such a great excuse, I know.
Take heart in knowing that I will feel bad about this forever (probably!) and the bus to Hell is definitely waiting at the stop for me. One Hundred Million Apologies,

I'd definitely forgive you if this letter is directed at me. You sound genuinely and profoundly sorry for your "misdeed" (cue mental image of you hanging your head down in shame).
Crikey!
Holy hell. If it makes you feel better I've totally been there. It's always humbling. The internet is a dangerous thing, sometimes. Eek.
Oh mon dieu! But, I suppose that's the risk in keeping a full-disclosure blog...anyone and their mom can read it. Although, if you're looking to avoid future flubs, it might not hurt to look into keeping a separate, private blog that I hear works well for other bloggers. Or just keep the tag line off your emails. ;) I'm sure the guy will get over it, though.
Yeah don't worry for me, I will...
oh damn...
yeah, i sometimes forget certain people read my blog and then they say something and i'm all "oh shit"
*sigh*
sweet, sincere apology. he'd be crazy not to forgive you ;-)
