In which I clarify almost nothing

I seem to have created quite a stir on the Facebook page today. That wasn't on purpose, but it's good to know how. I posted:
Oh, hey. Remember when I used to post over here? Sorry about that, gang. Some of the biggest stuff in my life the last few weeks has been VERY SECRET; you'll probably hear about it soon. For today, you get this — and vague promises that I'll try to post more frequently and more hilariously.
And then a link to what Tyler Coates said on his Tumblr about Obama's statement on marriage equality.

Here's a little non-clarifying clarification about that VERY SECRET business. I was maybe a little bit making fun, though there's no way you would have known that.

It's just that one of the things in my life that has taken a certain amount of hijinks-ensue-type energy involves a secret that is not mine to share. It's like if someone else was pregnant (it's not that someone is pregnant) and still early in her first trimester (it's also not that I am pregnant). I'd be able to tell you all about it once she was sharing publicly, just not quite yet.

Seriously, it's not that anyone is pregnant.

But highjinks have ensued.

You were right the first time: "hijinks." (The only word in English that has three dotted letters in a row, unless you count "Yiiiieee," attributable to Foghorn Leghorn.) ...So, are the hijinks still ensuing?

Whoops, and now I have to leave the spelling error intact so your comment will make sense.

Hijinks kind of always ensue, but the hijinks to which I was referring no longer involve me.

Hey, wait. What are you talking about, and why didn't I get this scoop this weekend? -K

Kay said...

BOO. Fix the link to the Tyler thingie.

BOO yourself. Thanks for assuming that I did something broken, rather than that Tyler took it down.

Which he did.

It said, approximately:
"Here's all I'm going to say about it.
"I'm happy about Obama's support for marriage equality, but I can't help but feel a little cynical about the shitty nature of the political system that encouraged him to stand silent on this issue for so long."

(Up through "issue" is accurate. The rest is lost to the internet, but my paraphrase is roughly right, I think. Also, I got what I got from looking at the Facebook page, which you could have done as easily as I.)
