i think a part of me just died
URGH. I hate embarrassing typos. Hate hate hate.
(And I'm not talking putting in an 'i' in 'shot'. That one manages to slip in all the time, and it's kind of obviously a typo in those cases. Most of the time. But this thing managed to turn an entire sentence around and sound so, so wrong. Not in the incorrect way, but...yeah)
It's worse when you only notice it reading the thing through ages after you first wrote it. Seeing it. Reading again. And again, just to make sure - horror slowly seeping in. Staring in disbeleif - because yes, it really was that bad - before having to get up and walk away from the computer. And then collapsing on the floor/bed, in a bizarre mix of uncontrollable laughter/utter anguish. That way when you're so embarrassed all you can do is kind of squeal to yourself (or is that just me? >_>)
I can't believe it even came out making sense - because in the worst possible way, it did; it could even have passed for my intended meaning, it was such a perfect mistake!
Okay, I still can't quite look at it right now...but at least it's amusing me, I suppose. I'm laughing about it already (...kind of!)
