So this afternoon, Daisy and I were having a quick instant message exchange on Yahoo IM. And we were wrapping up, when Daisy typed, “Oh – and I have to get this off my chest…” which of course made me kind of freeze in my chair, because no one says that unless whatever follows it is kind of bad.
And then I waited.
And at the bottom of the screen, it said, “Daisy is typing a message” like it does when you’re waiting for a response and the person you’re messaging with is in the midst of responding. And it kept saying that. FOREVER. And I sat there, terrified. I was all, “Crap! What did I do? What did I say? What did I do wrong?” in my head, agonizing over why she might be angry with me.
And I kept waiting. And she kept typing. And I was thinking, “HOLY MOTHER OF CRAP she is typing a NOVEL to me about why she’s mad.” And finally, after like 10 minutes, I couldn’t take it anymore. And I typed, “YOU ARE KILLING ME.”
And this was the rest of our conversation:
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:22:30 PM): what? with the Glee thing?
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:22:33 PM): i know. I just had to say it.
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:22:34 PM): i’m sorry
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:22:40 PM): i just don’t see why you like it.
Mockarena (10/20/2009 3:22:40 PM): Whaaaa? You said – I have to get this off my chest – and then you never said anything
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:22:46 PM): ooooooooooooooooooooooooh
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:22:47 PM): ha ha
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:22:52 PM): i thought it went through and then you got mad!
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:22:53 PM): lol
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:22:55 PM): i hate Glee

Mockarena (10/20/2009 3:22:57 PM): you ding dong
Mockarena (10/20/2009 3:23:10 PM): That’s all you said? That you hate Glee?
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:23:10 PM): i mean, i think it’s dumb as hell. and I don’t understand why you and my sister love it so much.
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:23:17 PM): so I’m starting to think that I’m getting old. officially
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:23:18 PM): yeah.

Daisy (10/20/2009 3:23:25 PM): i hated Moulin Rouge, though, too
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:23:31 PM): My sister LOVED that freakin’ movie.
Mockarena (10/20/2009 3:23:33 PM): I actually was not a huge moulin rouge fan
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:23:35 PM): i mean, OBSESSED
Mockarena (10/20/2009 3:23:35 PM): I tolerated it
Mockarena (10/20/2009 3:23:43 PM): but I ADORE musicals in general
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:23:44 PM): Glee is like a TV show of Moulin Rouge.
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:23:48 PM): yeah. i hate musicals.
Mockarena (10/20/2009 3:23:54 PM): Well, there you go
Mockarena (10/20/2009 3:23:56 PM): so there’s the one difference between you and me.
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:24:05 PM): i’d rather go to the dentist.
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:24:08 PM): there’s ONE THING!

Daisy (10/20/2009 3:24:15 PM): so does my sister.
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:24:20 PM): she could go every weekend to a friggin show.
Mockarena (10/20/2009 3:24:20 PM): but glee is not at all like moulin
Mockarena (10/20/2009 3:24:23 PM): not even a teeny bit
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:24:27 PM): it’s like we weren’t made by the same people.
Mockarena (10/20/2009 3:24:47 PM): Glee allows me to be in show choir once a week vicariously
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:24:54 PM): i know. and you love show choir.
Mockarena (10/20/2009 3:24:56 PM): And I LOVED show choir
Mockarena (10/20/2009 3:24:59 PM): LOVE LOVE LOVED it
Mockarena (10/20/2009 3:25:07 PM): I couldn’t have loved it any harder
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:25:08 PM): so that’s cool. but just know that I won’t be watching Glee with you anytime soon.
Mockarena (10/20/2009 3:25:13 PM): I will not make you watch glee.
Mockarena (10/20/2009 3:25:22 PM): And you are hereby allowed to skip any mockdock posts about it
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:25:23 PM): you should’ve been a teacher and then been the head of the show choir
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:25:28 PM): ok.
Mockarena (10/20/2009 3:25:35 PM): But I am SO going to kidnap chicklet and get her to watch it with me
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:25:36 PM): i have even refrained from commenting.
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:25:37 PM): lol
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:25:39 PM): ha ha
Daisy (10/20/2009 3:25:41 PM): she’ll probably love it.
Mockarena (10/20/2009 3:25:45 PM): she’s going to be ALL OVER glee
So, mockdockers, there you have it. If there are those of you who have been pissy about all my Glee posts, just know that you are in “I hate Glee” company. But I’m still not going to stop posting them. You can just ignore them, like Daisy is.
And let this be a lesson to all of you to not say “I have to get something off my chest” and then leave a sista hangin’.
