My friends and readers, I opened up my Xanga page today to discover someone had left a, shall we say, "disheartening" comment on my latest entry. This comment was made even more distasteful by the fact that my my sister was the one who left it. (I should I suppose, for the sake of accurate reporting, mention here that I have two sisters. The younger (and at this moment cooler) sister is the one who just visited me in LA, the older (though still younger than me) sister is the one who left such a false and unsupportive comment and has, therefore, been placed down in the "non-awesome" sibling catagory.
And now, for the comment...
"I saw a picture of Matt Drudge once, and I thought he was somewhat lacking in the 'good looks' department of his visage. I mean, no wonder he doesn't have a TV show. But, you know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if you want to have a crush on him, that's fine; I'm sure he has many other redeeming qualities. ;)"
Okay, let's clear a few things up.
(1) I don't have a "crush" on Matt Drudge. (Or rather, it depends on what the meaning of the word "crush" is as well as what "a" "to" "have" and "on" are.) He is fast becoming a running joke in my journals ever since I wrote about a dream I had in which he appeared. If you read the entry in question, you'll see that we acquitted ourselves in a thoroughly--I won't say "proper" manner because Drudge was actually kind of a jerk--G-rated manner. There was as much spark between us as between two people forced to stand next to each other on the subway in New York. He did, as a matter of fact, mock my workaholic ways and my lack of a boyfriend. This I attribute to the fact that, in real life, Matt Drudge is an unmarried, 37-year-old workaholic so my subconcious picked him out as the perfect person to rebuke me for my own problems.
(2) Matt Drudge had a t.v. show on the Fox News Channel back when the FNC was first getting started. It only lasted for about a season because he chose to walk out after he had a disagreement with his bosses over a picture he had shown and some comments he had made about said picture. (I suppose I should mention here that Matt Drudge is much better looking than Bill O'Reilly, whose hideously ugly "visage" [and forehead of near overwhelming proportions] has not kept him from having a successful career in television.)
(3) Anybody can be "somewhat lacking in the 'good looks' department of his visage" in one picture. And, if the picture my sister saw of him was the one I posted in my journal entry about my dream then, of course, he looked like a half-drunken retard because I intentionally chose an unflattering picture of him for comedic effect. No, Drudge can't crush granite with his chin or cut glass with his cheek-bones like most Hollywood types, but that doesn't make him ugly. (I should, as a matter of fact, submit to you that that increases his physical appeal.) He's an unassuming-looking person who possesses a stunningly amusing personality. Just remember: looks fade, but personality only gets better.
