I'm not listing anything on Etsy today. I have my reasons. So instead of showing you something new, I'd like to redirect your attention to the above choker. I made it originally as a custom choker for someone who approached me to request it, insisted that I use specific colors and textures (some of which I had to go out and buy just for this), and then, when I sent her the link to the finished object, she vanished off the face of the earth.
I waited for a week, thinking perhaps that the aliens would return her to this planet, but she's still MIA, so I'm forced to conclude that she doesn't want this.
I think the worst part is that I don't actually know. I mean, she could be...simply too busy to purchase it. Or maybe the fault is with the choker; maybe it's not what she wanted after all, maybe when she insisted on 'matte' beads she really meant 'not-shimmery' so this is entirely wrong.
Or maybe, maybe this is just some sort of joke.
"Hey, I'm bored; know what I'll do? I'll go on Etsy, find a newbie seller, request an item, lead them on until it's made, never buy it and then cackle to myself knowing I just manipulated someone like that!!!"
Yeah, well, fuck you and I hope you got your jollies from it, and I hope that some day someone will buy this choker and love it the way it was meant to be loved.
... I might be a little bitter; why do you ask?
Perhaps she just wanted the pattern....
ReplyDeleteI like your cynicism. Do you also speak Sarcasm as a second language?
I have this memory from when I was five-ish wherein I said something, and my sister told me not to be sarcastic--but I didn't know what the word meant at the time. So; sarcasm as a second language? no. It's definitely my first.
