" I love my typos. So there. Just like I love my laugh lines, unglamorous last name, empty bank account, freckle on my tooth, inability to get over my ex, perpetual paranoia, fluctuating weight and profound fear of public speaking. I am flawed. So freaking beautifully flawed. Therefore, those of you who like to stir the ol&amp;#x27; kettle, do your thing. In the end, you&amp;#x27;re still reading, so I&amp;#x27;ll take it as a compliment. Along with a tall glass of wine :) It&amp;#x27;s fascinating, actually.&amp;amp;nbsp; I&amp;#x27;m soooo not wired that way. I have a really hard time giving criticism to anyone, even if it&amp;#x27;s something they need to hear. I even cringed when I read the negative reviews of Ellen&amp;#x27;s Oscar performance. She&amp;#x27;s one of the only people on TV I find inspiring. I&amp;#x27;d never turn on her! Did anyone watch her show today -- when she teared up about achieving such a life-long goal? I was working-out and SOBBING.&amp;amp;nbsp; God, at this rate, crying better burn calories... I must say, your record-breaking comments really prove that words are powerful tools. It reminds me of something really personal I&amp;#x27;ve been dealing with. Last week I went thru a horrible, dilapidating fight with a friend. I could barely eat or sleep. The root of our fight was something hurtful I said about her behind her back. It wasn&amp;#x27;t intentional, but it certainly wasn&amp;#x27;t OK. I&amp;#x27;ve owned up to my mistake, BEGGED for forgiveness and I think we&amp;#x27;ll eventually be fine. But wow, the confrontation was a cruel awakening. Words. They can be so destructive. You have to be so careful. After this fight, which almost cost me my best friend, I was reminded to always think before I speak. Which is why, when I contact the guy who once liked me, like 75% of you voted for, I&amp;#x27;m going to treat it delicately. Have you ever said something you truly regret?&amp;amp;nbsp; I mean, besides calling ME an illiterate, social-climbing, Greek wannabe, &amp;amp;quot;lost cause??&amp;amp;quot;&amp;amp;nbsp; Kidddddding. PS: To the readers who felt extra protective yesterday, thank you so much. I&amp;#x27;m not afraid of the &amp;amp;quot;comma mafia&amp;amp;quot; but I love you for looking out."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
