Kickass in Somerville was not that special, although I did like their gluten-free one.

Any other suggestions?

How do you eat your cupcakes?
I break them in half and make a sandwich with the frosting in the middle. I thought I was the only one to do this until I saw a chef on the Food Network eat hers the same way. I felt better about myself after that.

I gotta disagree- the frosting sandwich is the way to go.

Kickass Cupcakes suck-overpriced, dry and more attitude than frosting up in that place.

Party Favors in brookline is the best! A close second...Roche Bros!

gotta agree with this description of Kickass- catchy name, that's about it

Lyndell's was very good, not exceptional

I also really like whole foods cupcakes

It's very personal as to how I eat my cupcakes,
but I will tell you that "oral" is involved.

That might actually be funny, if I didn't know better.

But since we're at it...Isn't your sole purpose for being here and the reason you're even here in the first place our mutual pal joe coughlin?

Not one word on his behalf?!? Really?!? That's pretty twisted. I hope you find your cupcake,

Cupcakes are wicked important,

that's right- you do know better, which means this was a pretty nasty dig on your part- and knowing my personal history as you do, about as hurtful as it could get

and yes, I wouldn't have known about the board if it wasn't for Joe- I'm not totally clear on your point- are you saying I continue on here only because of Joe- you seem to have all the answers, I'll leave that up to you

a better question to ask yourself would be why do you care?

since you've elected to challenge my behavior here, I'll step up and answer

you want to judge my writing about cupcakes while not making a public support of joe as twisted- in order to do that you must be making some presumptions about how I feel
do you really know how I feel? again, why should you care? why the need to call me on my behavior? will chastising me publicly amongst his supporters and friends heal him? or does it do something for you personally? do you look more like a hero to him if he finds out about this? does that solidify your standing in his eyes? is he hurt and angry that I haven't posted something publicly along with his throngs of other admirers?

the wednesday morning I read the thread about him was before I went out the door to work
I had no one to talk to about it, I carried it around with me all day- a huge cannonball of angst that sat in my stomach all day, and there isn't an hour that goes by since that I don't wonder how he's doing, that I haven't felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster. But it isn't supposed to be about me, so I've kept silent, knowing there was nothing I could do for him, nothing I could offer him that he needed and probably didn't even want from me, judging by the last words he wrote here and in personal emails. I even considered cooking some meals and offering them to you, knowing how exhausted you must be from spending all that time being there for him and still having your family to look after.
I couldn't bring myself to put some mundane "all the best to you Joe" in a thread. I didn't know what to say or how to say what I wanted to, and I still don't.


I've made the mistake in the past of putting personal stuff out here that was hurtful to both of us. Maybe it's karma that I'm being challenged to do it again. So be it. This will be the last time I write anything publicly about Joe. Joe I'm sorry for any embarrassment I may have caused you. As for you, Connie, I think it's time you stopped butting in and chastising me. You're where you want to be. Any other discussion about this or anything else will only take place face to face. And that includes you Judy. I've had enough drama, I've had enough with the backstabbing, behind the scenes gossiping and two-faced behavior.

so Connie, anything from now on about joe and I is strictly between joe and I, okay? if there's anything he needs from me, he can ask and I'll do my best to meet it

My point, Debby, is just that. I have no idea why you continue here, maybe a local music message board needs more talk about cupcakes.

I don't care, I'm just being a hurtful bitch. You know what that's like, don't you?

Connie, just let it go.
You won't have any peace of mind if you don't.
I imagine you are exhausted. Just be with your friend and let the rest go.

Not for nothing, but leave me out of this crap. I haven't spoken to you or about you in months, and i'd prefer to keep it that way and appreciate the same in return.

I think i've delt with enough unwarranted crap here, I don't need to be finger pointed and sucked into anyone's imagined drama.

just for the record, no one owes me shit.

i will cop to some amusement over the fact that gals hate each other over me & i wasn't bangin' either one of 'em.

but the sadder truth is that for as much of that time, we all barely even spoke, either, so the sheer confusion does largely outweigh any potential humor.

i don't know that i'd call it a gift that i twist some people up this way, but i can assure yez it's not deliberate.

life's short enough... i'm as much behind cupcakes as i am anguish, & if someone's happier hatin', i'd ultimately rather they be happy, 'cause i didn't put the shit there & it'd just be somethin' / someone else anyway.

& no, i'm not callin' for catfights, even though they would provide a modicum of useful therapy right now, but i've got the whole gallant thing to live up to, so i'll shaddap.

Good to see you on here Joe. That Norwood song came on my ipod last week. Took me 3 days to get that friggin' Herman' Hermits tune out of my head.

Fuck now it's back in my head again. Except now it's the actual song without the funny lyrics about Norwood. Fuck.
