Ah my lovelies,
You know, I realize my caustic humor sometimes does not really play well with people.
Take today for example, when in my inbox I this person named Kristin sent me an email telling me she'd love to work with my husband Nagasiva, and could not wait to get a book of mine in Spanish. Oh, and that my Lucky Mojo forum was awesome....and so was this blog...which she apparently likes reading...but not as much as she would have me think since she missed all the places where I had pictures of me (like the front page,) or references to the fact that I am living in NH (not California,) or any other clues like the part of the FAQ that says I'm not related to the Lucky Mojo or that article where I said "Why aren't you Cat Yronwode" was one of my weirder complaints this year (that's been on the front page might have fallen off by now.)
Yeah.....
Anyhow, I replied (yea quoth I,): "I'm NOT CAT YRONWODE. Wrong Cat. I do write confessions of an occult mastermind/Cat's Rants, but my last name begins with a W. It also says repetitively that I am not the same Cat who runs the lucky mojo (nor do I belong to her forum, nor would anyone ask for my book in Spanish since its still on the way to getting published in English,) so you obviously missed that. Guess you don't read my blog all that much." ;)
Well, really if you read my blog, you'd know.
This is what I get back in response from her: "Well, that's a relief. Uh, no I don't read it. Uh, honest mistake. Uh, apparently you don't state that you are not Yronwode enough. Kudos on the hostile bitch attitude, though. Confuse power with personal mastery much?"
Wow, you call me a bitch and a bunch of names...alright, I'm ready to engage with the defensive jackass, I guess, so I reply: "Wow, coming from a twit who apparently thinks all people named Cat are the same person, I guess I'm really sad you don't like me. Boohoo."
Now, I think we're still sort of playing but am not sure? I mean, I didn't expect to be called a bitch for having to correct a person who wrote me a 2 page email about how great Cat Y's store is and trying to give me that credit (uh, I could NOT run LMCC - I don't have near enough business sense, so give credit to whom its due) and Cat Y credit for my blog...but hey, being corrected is upsetting.
So I get this: "The only thing that happened initially and objectively was my mistaking your site for someone with a gracious demeanor might have gained you a client."
Allow me to interject here - I don't want a client who can't figure out I'm not the same person as another person with my nickname. Kristin is a common name...are you all Kristins?
Her email continues: "You go off like a spoiled brat and get called on it and stomp your feet. You have issues. Going off like a fuckin' psychonut is certainly your option. As for your "life's work"... perhaps some attention to your anger and age issues would be a better use of your time.
At least you have been entertaining. In a simian way."
Wow, baby, sorry I corrected you that this wasn't Cat Yronwode's site. Um, who's name calling (calling me a bitch,) and having a hissy? Who? I'm over on my end giggling my ass off - this girl must be 17, for goodness sakes, hehehehehehe!
So I end this with info on how to reach Cat Y (well, I think my info is old and from 2008, but I hope its some help,) and this:
"Hahaha, big words. You've been entertaining, too. I like people who get indignant when their own stupidity is pointed out to them... You've been entertaining in a porcine way.
And you're the one calling me a bitch and etc. :)
Lovesit,
~C"
***********
Now for everyone else.... If you want to be a complete ass face and have no sense of humor, then really...
I'm sorry some people don't have a sense of humor, but generally you don't write about what a fuckface you think some rootworker is when you've just told her you love her blog...
Anyhow sorry I don't clarify enough that Cat Y aren't the same person (I thought the pictures kinda helped,) and also wanted to thank this email writer for being so kind as to act like I don't have respect for someone's work because I refused to take credit for it. I have a great deal of respect for Cat Y's work, and I'd think pointing out that I do not deserve credit for it would show that I feel she has more rootworkin' experience than me, thanks.
Well, to all the Kristins of this world, I'm glad to know that everyone with your name is you, and that all things that Kristins do are to be credited to you, and if you object to this, you must be a psychonut bitch with a temper condition.
Though I do have a bad temper. Boo on me. I must be such a cuntwad to actually have thought you had a sense of humor. Let me go ape my way over to my tree, have banana and a nap now.
Anyone else want to get up here, or are we all set?
And Kristin, be honored, I never give people's names up on the blog. You're the first person who wrote me that I did give this honor to. I'm such a simian psychonut bitch. Psychonut...sounds like a really good Ben and Jerry's flavor.
Love your dearest fan,
Cat "Psychonut" the leader of the Evil Axis of Internet Weirdos. :D
