I am not interested in being well known for being an idiot. I don't want for the expression "you really pulled a Jessica today" to mean that I told a joke about having less than 10 fingers to a woman with 7 fingers. Oops. Please feel free to reflect back on the incident from several weeks ago where I pretended to be royalty being greeted by my fans upon returning from work to realize they were escorting a sick coworker out on a stretcher....
But every once in a while, I say something or do something that embarrasses me and compels me to grasp for the giant erase button.
I saw a photo posted on facebook of a boring building with the title "The Pentagon." Knowing the person who posted it works in a military-esque function, I posted back "That place looks like a blast!" with a little facebook heart: <3, so endearing.
She then posted the following:
"That's a memorial for all the lives lost in 9/11"
.....
Oh.
Why didn't you say that in the first place?
To be fair, it didn't look anything like a memorial. It looked like a government-crafted skatepark outside of the Pentagon. Oh. Ouch. Reading it hurts.
Lucky for me, facebook actually does have an erase button. It's like it never happened. It was only in Internetland for less than a day.
Todd's reaction: "That's pretty bad. Sorry for you."
