Middle Of The Night Ramblings on Faceless Blue Headed Bullies

Am laying here listening to the sound of the fan blowing and quietness. I truly believe that we have become such a busy world, that we don’t know how enjoyable quietness is. Right now, I think if I had the sound of water running like a stream, I could close my eyes and feel like I was in nature. It is so serene and relaxing. No tv blaring, no talking, no traffic sounds…just the gentle sound of a fan.

So, once again you are blessed cursed with my rambling brain in the middle of the night. I have to tell you that Facebook mentality has once again caused me to erupt into laughter. I got one of those junior high school bully type messages because someone did not like one of my posts on here or the comments on it. It was so hysterical and school age that I was calling my son and friends to come read it and laugh with me. You know the kind….obvious fake ID and they start attacking you personally like they think they are really telling you off. What they failed to understand is, in order for me to get upset…I have to care about who is saying something to me. And how can you care about a fake ID?

I supposed I could blow up one of those Facebook blue head icons and then tell it off. Or run shrieking through the house in fear and when son asks me why, tell him the “blue head” is out to get me. Or I could call the police station and have them put out an APB out for the “Blue Headed Person” who writes anonymous bully letters. Maybe Investigative Reports will come in and film a segment on me. Do you think?  Sorry folks, but you see what son and friends and I were doing after the letter came in. And I laughed til I cried and so did everyone else. What??? The door bell rang. Son wait..wait…look through the peep-hole. It might be the blue headed anonymous bully writer. Son asks “how will I know???”  I said “Look for the blue head! Only look down cause it probably is a little old blue headed lady!”

Hmmm, a friend says “wonder if the blue head means it is some little old lady with that white hair with the blue tint on it, off on her computer in a corner of her house sending out these blue headed anonymous bully letters?” Can’t you just picture that with her saying in that voice like the bad fairy on the Wizard of Oz “I’ll get you my pretty”.

That conjured up such an image that i am afraid I had to change my shirt for coke went flying out of my mouth because I was laughing so hard. And having son imitate the witch on the Wizard of Oz and someone else pretend to be the Good Fairy saying “Begone…you have no power here” left us all in stitches.  Or Better yet, maybe it was Maxine’s evil twin and the real Maxine is down at the police station filling out papers for identity theft. I can see her now telling them to put a detective on the shampoo isle and ID anyone that buys the blue rinse little old ladies like to use on their hair.

Well, now you see how we spent our afternoon and it only got more hysterical from there with them doing imitations. See, folks, things are only as hurtful as we allow them and again I say…how can you be seriously upset over message from a fake ID? Now, if someone has a serious message to me, I take the time to answer and I did answer one yesterday and the person was extremely nice.

And so, moving on from the hysterics of yesterday, I have to tell you that son’s soup is so good that we ate it with hot buttered cornbread for supper again last night. He asked me was I sick cause I do not normally eat two helpings of the soup. I told him that he just outdid himself on this pot of soup.

As I lay here alone, listening to my fan, I thought about how some people mistake “alone” for “lonely”.  Now, no  one wants to be alone all the time, but I am a person that actually enjoys being alone here in my room…to read, write, do artwork, play on the computer or just watch a show on the television. I don’t feel lonely…I am just alone without having to have someone entertain me. I learned how to entertain myself a long time ago. Besides, if I allow myself to depend on others to make me happy or keep me entertained, I might become like one of those faceless blue heads and start muttering to myself “I’ll get you my pretty” in that high shrill voice and typing junior high school type bully letters to people that I don’t like. LOL

  1. Lol! What a creative way to illustrate a handful of common issues: self-esteem, self-confidance, bullying, victimizing – I’m sure I could add a few more. :)
    Have you noticed that cyber-bullies all seem to follow the same script? :) They will rant and rave, and hem and heehaw – but ONLY if they can remain anonymous.
    Hats off to you for not falling victim to the blue head! (I call them shadow heads) :)

    • thanks. and yes I have noticed that they only do it if they are anonymous. I call it is the Evil Super(wo)man complex. Plain looking person walks into room but put them behind the computer screen anonymous and they rip off their shirt to reveal the huge ES (evil super(wo)man ) emblazoned on their shirt underneath and they become (they think) powerful. I personally think once their true identities become evident or even their letters for someone will recognize their writing..that they should be plastered on a website with BULLY written in red across the bottom. LOL like they do DUI people in some states.

  2. Great post! I’ve managed to give my shirt and the screen a morning drink of coffee as I read of the anonymous blue heads, and visualize the forearm crutches running to the peep hole in fear and dismay of the ones messaging you there! Perhaps the “flying monkeys” will be next in your in box! It seems that your blog is reaching the very ones that it is intended to educate and to stop?
    I also read with interest the comments of Jack who sounds as though is one who has experience in this arena, I think that ones who make *excuse the language* an ass of themselves and perhaps the one that sent you the not worthy of reply comment.. you should let their comment be seen as a perfect example of what you wrote so eloquently about? Yes those who hide behind the blue head are those who have no integrity, no filter, nor have any self respect so how can we expect that they would extend respect to others? It is truly amazing, as at least Maxine amuses us, and entertains us as opposed to cyber and real bullies who only seek attention, throw blame as though they were cow-pies in the effort to destroy or humiliate and most often do it without shame or without interest in knowing the truth or the facts! Well written Danlrene and glad to see that you have such a marvleous sense of humor. I do believe we should have the police and OZ out on this case of blue heads in order to eradicate the entire threat from what has become a blemish on the the color blue now pasted to heads…

    Have a great day readers and to you writer, enjoy the soup! Watch out for “flying monkeys” as I suspect that is next on the agenda *cant’ wait to read about it*

  3. Love it good job. How many people could think of the funny things you do. It is very educational and funny so how can people get that upset and act that way. Hope they will learn something if they read your blog long enough.

  4. This was great! I hope the blue headed bully reads this and sees how inane & ineffectual they are. Maybe they’ll learn something. You’ll know they didn’t if you get another one of those blue headed bully letters lol.

  6. Bethylicious, so far no more letters. :) So I can quit cowering in the closet for fear the anonymous blue headed bully will get me. LOL

  7. Well it seems there are more of these and internet addictions as you wrote about than one can imagine as it is one of the “trends of yahoo today” with articles on Facebook and how one got over his/her addictions”. Perhaps it was triggered by your fine posts…

    I think perhaps your blue headed bullies would be a great idea for our police departments and justice systems to have made into “targets” for shooters to sharpen their skills out on the ranges of the country! Imagine it: BLUE HEADS TO TAKE AIM ON!!!

    And I can only imagine Maxine putting an APB on those who are trying to imitate her art of sarcasism and doing it so pooorly, but perhaps there is a line of slippers in the making of “BLUE HEADS” as you walk they can make a moan, or a snide remark, rather a walk over or a bit of comic relief for the wearer…?

    Yes they certainly do lose their power with their “snide/hit enter” swipes at another behind the shield of fake identity and blue heads if only they could understand that their attempts to slander and belittle another only reflects their poor manners and ultimatelly their upbringing…

    Rock on Danlrene, we do keep on our toes with you there writing!
