A Quickie

Last week, CyberGuy sent me a nice long email, to which by Thursday, I hadn't responded as I was too preocupied with Flyboy. Finally that afternoon, I sent him a brief two-line, "I'm really busy but will write soon," thing. Sunday afternoon he emailed again, because he hadn't heard from me. Which I thought was sweet.

So I emailed him back, carefully keeping the tone friendly yet not flirty, casual yet not flippant. He responded the same day and asked a few more questions, which I answered the following day.

A little while ago, I get this rather snarky email from him that says something like, I'm doing the best to respond to all your emails. I'm like, WTF?

And THEN he goes one step further, b/c I've asked him twice if he'd read my book yet, and says something along the lines of, I've skimmed it, but honestly doesn't think it's really the type of book you just sit and read. Rather if you're interested in a certain food, you go and look it up and read about it.

DUDE. Don't be dissing my book. I mean, SHIT.

I have just been insulted. I mean, really.

Asshole.

What a jerk!!! Oh my goi. Still cannot believe he actually said that.
