But then it all seemed to highlight something they mightn&#8217;t have noticed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(102, 0, 204);\">Either way, I&#8217;m red and mortified.<\/span><br \/>\n<\/sigh><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">Imported from the earlier version of my blog that used Blogger.
