Don't be so hard on yourself, guys! A person very close to me when I was younger obsessed over things she'd said and done, and I constantly had to assure her she was the ONLY one who remembered. Even if folks did remember, it'd be in passing and probably with a little bit of bafflement, but not more.
No use regretting what you've sent or what you've said. It's out there, you did it, you spoke your mind and that's not bad (well, unless it in any way involves boiling bunnies, but that's hopefully another matter). Response or lack of response doesn't change that.
The funny thing is I've sent my share of e-mails over the years, some of which I was vaguely embarrassed by at the time, but then it always ended up being the case that there really wasn't cause for it. What it comes down to is you're writing because someone moved you, and you're thinking about them because they have that capability, and so that itself speaks volumes in just saying, "Hey you rock." Which is, I think, what it all comes down to in this crazy world... just letting someone know they've made a mark, they've made a difference. If they take that the wrong way and it really didn't make any mention of stewed/boiled/fried/sauteed bunnies, that's with them (not just Common Rotation, but anyone, I mean), and not with anything you've said. Take peace in having spoken your mind, and knowing that maybe you made someone smile. That's enough, hey?
laugh Yeah, so that's MY take anyhow. I have a decade's worth of fun e-mails that tells me all this is so, at least for me.
Now the question is: Did anyone actually see the show? Spill, spill!
