And lo, I was visited by the Angst Fairy

[niblick_iii]

So you know how I said in my last post that there were a couple of incidents on Christmas Day that were causing me some angst over a week later? Well now it's over two weeks later and the angst is back. I'm not sure it ever really went away. I told myself I was going to use my LJ to document the positive things going on, instead of just whinging

Oh honey *hugs*

My only possible explanation for why she said what she did is that maybe she doesn't quite know how you would react if she called you his daughter. Maybe she thinks you'd be offended by the suggestion that you are his daughter. I know for a fact that if anyone tried to call my fathers wife my mother - even stepmother - I would be incredibly angry. Maybe in trying to spare you from similar feelings she inadvertently gets it wrong.

Here, have an RDJ icon to drool over ♥

I wish I could believe that was true. The fact of the matter is, she didn't think of me at all. It wouldn't even occur to her that might be upset. I doubt she even saw the way her words could be taken. And somehow, that's worse than anything. I'd almost rather she'd said it deliberately to upset me; its that fact that she has no idea that makes it worse. If she were trying to spare my feelings, she would have at least acknowledged that I had an effect on his life. In the context of the conversation we were having (I forget the details of it, I admit), if she didn't want to call me his daughter in case I got upset. she would have mentioned it in some way

*hugs* In that case I'm sorry she's such a callous bitch.

Look! Scruffy RDJ in the Iron Man suit! http://www.blogcdn.com/blog.moviefone.com/media/2009/07/iron-man-2.jpg

Hmm... callous is a little harsh. Thoughtless is closer to the truth.

Mmm, now that's what I'm talkin about!

We should totally make RDJ day a tradition.
