Bah.
I'm grumpy. (And no matter what the clock says, this is still Wednesday to me. The day isn't over until I go to bed. That's right, I'm just that important.) I've been grumpy all day. And a lot of it stems from this: do people not understand that sometimes it's not WHAT you say but how you say it?
Neither Eric nor Peyton have any idea that tone of voice means something. Or that specifically, SHITTY tone of voice means something.
See, this is why sarcasm does not float well across the internet. Because the internet is devoid of tone of voice. Tone is important. Tone is key. Tone is the difference between "interesting" as something that is genuinely interesting, and "eeeeeenteresting" as something that you need to scrape off your shoe, posthaste.
It's key, tone of voice. It matters. And it doesn't matter how beautiful your words are if you're saying them in a dickhead voice, Eric. There's a lesson here. Learn it!
ALSO. This is the second time tonight you've started a movie without waiting for me to be there, Eric. You'd better be skipping it back to the front right now or tomorrow you're going to have to explain how you got a footprint in the middle of your forehead. I'm serious! That's some fucked up shit, right there! First, there was NO TEA, and now this? For the love, man, I'm only human--I can only be expected to take so much!
