the value of an apology

i was talking to some friends the other day about how some people expect others to forgive them just by saying that they're sorry.

i mean, apologies are great, of course. but only if you are sincere about it. if you say sorry too often, it just loses its meaning.

doesn't it?

i'm annoyed with people who expect me to forget everything just because they tell me they're sorry. If you really are sorry, I WANT TEARS. I want you to BEG and say you CANNOT live with yourself until I forgive you.

hur hur.

because that's how i'd do it if i were trying to say sorry.

sort of.

this reminds me of people who say "No offence" after saying something insulting.

For example, imagine someone saying to my friends, "Hairy pple are revolting!" and then turns to me and says, "No offence!"

Maybe I have only been speculating about the monstrosity that is my hairyness.(hairyness????) Maybe I still had hope that it is probably not as hairy as my imagination had made it out to be.

But with that comment, obviously my fears would be confirmed and damn it, I now feel obligated to be offended and you shall incur my wrath.

This is, of course, just an example. No one has ever dared to tell me that I'm hairy :)

hur hur. these people, they are wise.

anyway, this post isn't any better than the previous one so I should stop now. hur hur. oh but not before asking why i haven't been getting any hatemail?

why!!!

you can measure your popularity by the number of hatemail you get and I haven't gotten any.

So i demand that you start sending me hatemail soon.
