Daddy, comments and more....

Good morning,

Daddy came through his surgery fine yesterday and today he's starting the healing process.   After spending many many hours at the hospital with him, mouse returned home to a very empty house, except for the dog.  After a glass of wine and some relaxing, mouse finally checked her emails...and thought about posting.....

There on the dashboard were two comments, well as it turned out one comment from the same person.  Apparently too stupid to understand how comment moderation works.   They left the comment during the day while Daddy was having his surgery...

It read:  

If he dies in surgery will you finally start talking like a human, and not in 3rd person?

Seriously?  What kind of misanthropic person leaves a comment like that?  Truly such a person is genuine hater of people.  To actually say something like that....regardless of how you feel about the way this blog is written to actually spew such hatred toward another human.  

It put mouse in a weird quandary since she's not allowed to self-moderate anonymous comments ever.  Yet she's calling the person out on her blog...just for the very rudeness of the comment.  If he dies...?

If Omega had died, this blog would end.  There would be no reason to continue it.  It would eventually vanish from the blogosphere because there'd be no point to EVER return to it.  Could take many years for that to happen, but eventually blogger will change something and send out an email, which would never be looked at, that would say all the words would vanish unless the account holder logs in (it's happened in the past).  

What part anonymous person don't you comprehend.  He is OMEGA...the end of the line.  He dies and the journey ends.  Yes, there are some optimistic types that would say...oh a new journey would begin -- bullshit!  There wouldn't be any more journey, and certainly no point to writing.  There will never EVER be another who would Master or even begin to take that task. You wouldn't have to worry about reading any offending use of language because there would be no point to writing.  Privately, nothing would change and all Omega's rituals and commands would be followed until old age would prevent them from being done.  


Formspring Friday

Which ironically connects to a formspring question mouse received about when she started the third person talk...

Hi Mouse. I love your blog, but having read through some of the initial entries, I have a question. When did you begin to speak in 3rd person and what prompted it? I'm curious about the process. If you've written about this before, could you direct me to

When Omega commanded it of mouse, more than a year ago, because he enjoys it when mouse writes that way, and he enjoys it when mouse speaks in that way....and she does it almost all the time.  Really!  Most people don't notice it all.  It's not like mouse goes around saying....well mouse says this or that....LOL....it's much more subtle than that.  You keep your answers short and to the point.  Someone asks a question and you answer it....or you ask a question...  You just leave off the "I think," or "I see..."  It's really that simple. 

As to the process, well that was started actually by Alpha who would wrap mouse with a ruler if she misspoke.  If she slipped and used a pronoun such as, "I" he'd hit her on the hand with the ruler.   It was like Catholic school.  It took many years after his death to start using the "I" again and kinda ironically it was abolished by Omega just when it had become comfortable.  Thank you for the question it's one that's really never been addressed in a formal way on the blog.  

Ask me anything!
