Dear Diary,
I was up much of the night last night worrying about disappointing people. For as snarky, vain, and irreverent as I may be, I am actually a highly sensitive person. I try very hard to be a good friend, a good sister, a good wife, a good aunt, a good daughter, a good co-worker, a good citizen (OK maybe not so much that one) and a good person generally. I like to try and keep everyone happy.
But perhaps this is where I get into trouble. Because keeping everyone happy all the time is really all about having people like you, isn't it? I love attention of most every sort (except the kind from the creepy old security guard at my place of business), I love to be loved, and anyone who has known me for over, hmm, an hour knows that. Flattery will get you everywhere with me. So why do I try so hard to maintain all my relationships (which is hard, because I have scads of people whom I consider close friends and therefore stay in regular communication with), and become so tortured and heartbroken when I feel that I may have failed?
It's because I'm a narcissist. Isn't it.
Anyway, enough about that. Now about THIS: We were watching this special on PBS about Niagara Falls the other night, about how the falls are so romantic and honeymooney and getting-it-on inducing. So is it any coincidence, then, that Viagra rhymes with Niagara? Hmm.
Love, Fluffy

You're not alone. The hardest lesson to learn for me has been you have to please yourself first. It's only taken me about 32 1/2 years to put this into practice, and I'm still not very good at it. Don't fret, Fluffy.
for what it's worth i heart you/your blog so you've got my unending adoration!
I knew I loved you before I met you.

My dearest Fluffy,
Sometimes I think you and I are the same person. Screw anyone that doesn't like you, you're marvelous and if they get offended they're just jealous. People love us. I love you. You love me. What more do we need?
Sincerely Yours,
Ashley
All kinds of love from us Ms! Sorry about this existential crisis! It'll pass. They always do.
Come on by for HH. We'll gossip & have some beers. It's been a whole week (not that I can tell time anymore so that could be off)! We miss you!
LMFAO at your Niagra revelation! You ROCK, FW!!

Narcissism ain't all bad. And, I bet your not such a narcissist. Hope your friends start paying you some decent attention soon : )
