I’m taking a blogosphere break until further notice.
If I don’t tell you I’m doing this you’ll wonder if I’m ok after a day of no posts.
If I do tell you I’m doing this you’ll wonder why I’m doing this.
Lose-lose.
It boils down to me not having time for made up drama or real drama that is upsetting me so badly I’m sitting here shaking in my seat I’m so angry, even after talking to my best girlfriend, my co-worker, and my mom about it.
I have shit to get done. I’m off to do that shit.
Moving on! Feel free to email me about your day, the price of gasoline, how much you love your significant other’s ears, what scares you about being in the dark, what your favorite color is, how much you enjoyed that summer movie blockbuster, what you had for dinner, and I’ll gladly have an email exchange with you. Deal? Deal.

Awwwww.
I’ve been dealing with idiotic drama, too – yesterday (how strange), I nearly emailed you because you were online when I was, and I was about to have a nervous breakdown! I decided not to bother you, though. Be grateful – I was a mess!
Still – I’ll email you. Hope things even out. For both of us!
July 17th, 2008 at 11:24 am
Deal.
July 17th, 2008 at 11:30 am
Ok, enjoy the vacation and come back soon b/c I’ll miss you otherwise.
July 17th, 2008 at 11:36 am
I’m sorry things are sucky. I hope everything turns out okay for you.
July 17th, 2008 at 11:37 am
Email heading your way pretty Poppy
July 17th, 2008 at 11:46 am
I hope you take chocolate and vodka on your vacation. And the kittehs.
July 17th, 2008 at 11:55 am
So sorry things suck for you.
Don’t have a clue what’s going on (it’s okay, I’m not gonna ask), but you need some kitty-cuddling time!!!!

What Finn said…
And have a good “summer vacation”
Muah!
July 17th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
Well, I hope that things will get better for you once shit is indeed done. Your presence will be appreciated as always once you return.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
I know it’s selfish of me, but I wish you’d spill your guts to me so I could help.
THAT being said -
I am wearing a lovely blue dress today.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
I don’t know what is going on with you, but it sounds like you are letting whoever is doing it get the best of you. Don’t let them get the best of you.
Brush the dirt off your shoulders and take the weekend off. Come back and join everyone again on Monday.
July 17th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Hope your real-life drama isn’t overwhelming to you! But please ignore the bloggy drama that is going on. It’s truly worthless.
Are you going to “poppy” in from time to time?
July 17th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
Deal.
Can I e-mail you? Really? Okay, I will.

July 17th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Wait a minute….I don’t know your e-mail address. Maybe YOU could e-mail ME?

I’ll miss you. Good luck.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
sorry… hope all works out… I will feel sad with no Poppy thoughts to read.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
::wondering how long Poppy can stay away without missing us terribly…she was joking…right?::
July 17th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Hi.
I miss you.
The interwebs just don’t feel the same without you.
That is all.
Oh yeah. Bear loved the extra cuddles from you yesterday. He says, “thx
“.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
Take it easy…relax and snuggle the kitties.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
Poppy … Take as long as you want. We’ll miss you, but YOU are more important than this here internert. You heard me … internert.
I’ll probably be emailing you.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
You are right that I would wonder about your whereabouts if you didn’t post for a day as it is distinctly unlike you.
Sorry that you are having drama in your life, but I think that keeping in touch with you by email or IM could be even better than just blog posting. I have moved into those kinds of “relationships” with several of my blog friends, and sometimes I don’t have time to post at night because I have spent so much time yapping with them on Google chat. Imagine that- blog friends getting in the way of blogging. I’ll take that happily any day.
Email me or IM me any time; I would love to chat with you.
July 17th, 2008 at 11:45 pm
Work it out, Poppy. We’ll be here when you come home!
July 18th, 2008 at 9:40 am
What Kris said.
Take care, Poppy!
July 18th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Yeah. So why is it the people who SHOULD take a shut-up never do, and the people who should keep going are the ones that shut-up? Life’s back asswards.

you are such a wonderfully sensitive woman and an excellent friend to those lucky enough to know you. i hate that some of these fuckers are getting to you. certainly i can appreciate that you want a break. but i don’t have to like it. coz i miss you already.
here is me being all selfish:
July 20th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Poppy, I am so sorry that the blogging community has got you down. It won’t be the same without you but I totally understand where you are coming from. I hope that you find some peace of mind and come back soon. I’ll miss you lots.
July 20th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Take as much time as you need, sweet cheeks, cuz you know I’ll still be here when you get back!
July 20th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
:peeking in on my favorite Poppy:
July 21st, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Well, you came and you left for four days
And we’re waiting oh Poppy
We’ll hang out and wait on the internets
And we need you today oh Poppy!
July 21st, 2008 at 7:14 pm
Good for you, the Popster. You deserve a break. Relax and enjoy some down time. In other words, take it offline…:)
July 22nd, 2008 at 6:20 pm
Wow! We’re like blog siblings!
A) I’ve been on a break since the 17th
B) (thinking)
Ok that’s the end of the similarities. I don’t think people would ask about me until the 3rd or 4th month, much less the 2nd day.
July 23rd, 2008 at 3:27 am
I miss you.
I’m going to pester you by email just so I can get my Poppy fix. And I’m heartbroken that anyone/anything has made you that upset. It hurts me to see you hurt.
