Okay, I have been employing this coinage IRL for like six months now and I just realized I had never put it where it belongs: on a blog. “Why do you think it is that every guy I’ve fucked in the last five years has suddenly become a blogger?” asked a friend via email. And I diagnosed her with …. an RSSTD.
‘I have an RSSTD’ can also just be a general catchall way of saying that your blog has interfered with your lovelife. I haven’t had a flareup of mine in a while, knock on wood. This might be filed under stop trying to make fetch happen, but I like it.


I’m so tempted to describe how blogging is like sex, but, you know, it isn’t.
but you can only contract this disease with full offline disclosure. haven’t done that yet. fuck. prescription??
This has all the makings of genius!
