out of the blue

An Apology to Ter:

I'm sorry if I seemed like I was arguing over trivial things; it seemed that way because I was. But I really didn't mean to annoy. I know that Elana and I enjoy arguing over random things, just for the fun of it, and I'm used to doing that with quite a few people. So, I'm sorry if something that I tend to do has offended you. I assure you I didn't mean to make you angry.

I can't remember if I noticed that you had asked to stop arguing. If I did, I took your continued responses to Nathan's points to mean that you had changed your mind about it. Next time I will know better.

I don't feel terrible about it, because I don't think I should have been expected to know that you were getting angry (such things are very difficult to communicate through text; you did it very well in your recent LiveJournal entry). Nevertheless, I do feel sorry that I caused you to become mad.

I would appreciate it if you were a little less antagonistic next time about telling us off, but that's your choice. I won't hold it against you if you do. I hope you don't mind my being blunt.

Sorry.
