Laugh at yourself...

...because nothing is more dull than a person who takes themselves way too seriously. 

I think the obviously facetious nature of the previous post's title signaled that the content was not to be taken seriously. If anyone thought that I was actually trying to blame anyone but myself for driving a knife into my hand then I'm sorry you misunderstood. Perhaps I did not make the post ironic enough. 

On the other hand, I have to cater to the wishes of teachers when writing my essays, and in this, my blog, I don't really feel like doing that. I have a certain style of writing and I will continue to write in that style. I'll accept criticism but will defend derision that I believe is unwarranted.
