My journal has stepped on toes.....

[sorchawench]

Well, I should have known better, although the unfriending fallout was less than I expected.

I also should probably wake up fully, eat, and maybe hug the puppy before I sign in to LJ. I had a dream last night that one of the people in question figured out I was referring to them. I woke up this morning wondering what my FL would look like today.

But wait....the snark isn't done yet!

Seriously, if for some reason you thought it might have been you I was talking about....that one of the TWO people on my list (out of 180 friends and 43 active communities) just happened to be YOU....and you possibly got so worked up about it that you had to unfriend me....

My first thought is that maybe you need to evaluate what part of last night's post pushed a button inside you.

Second thought? Don't flatter yourself.

~*~

See, I'm a person who can relatively handle a great deal of weird before I loose control of my mouth (so to speak) and make posts like last night. And, yes, I know that several of you have a lot of drama going on. But seriously....I can deal with your drama. Really. It's no less annoying or unbelievable than my drama.

But every once in a while, I suppose it builds up. And this has been building for a couple of months now. I don't know what let it loose last night, but I guess the cup tilted and a little sloshed over.

Nothing personal. You guys have been on my FL for years now. And how many of these do actually I do? I've *listened* to your troubles, your rants, your dreams, your fears...for YEARS now, and I have supported them all. I never criticized because I knew how weird life could get, and frankly...sometimes I thanked the Gods that your weird shit wasn't mine.

Then I go and make one little half rant and poof, someone got offended.

At this point, if you're wondering if YOU might be numbers 1 or 2....allow me to redirect you back up to my first thought.

If you're still wondering, and can't stand it, but don't want to be the focus of another ranty-type-post...feel free to send me a message and ask. I'll be honest with ya.

Hang about... that was worth wankery? o.O

Wow. Someone's button really was a bit hair-trigger.

/offers tea and cookies, gets out her mallet. One lump, or two? ;)

[sorchawench.livejournal.com]

INORITE?!?!?! I shoulda known better than to post it in the first place. As I recently mentioned to a friend, maybe I'm PMSing and need to step away from the keyboard. Maybe my stupidity allergy is acting up a little more than normal, and I'm short on tact.

Then again, maybe I should make more posts like that, so people would be used to it.

[eveshka.livejournal.com]

Pfft. It's your journal, your rules. Call it as you see it, and if the precious little daisies get trampled and their little feelings hurt?

Well... that's just the risk of growing in your sandbox.

(Then again, I am admittedly blunt and fairly caustic when dealing with idiots and people who go gleefully running off the deep end and then get mad at me because they fully expected me to follow like a mindless myrmidon.

[pooka.livejournal.com]

And that's why we love you too, Vesh. (And when the hell did you fall off my list???)

Sometimes, SOMEONE has to call the game and throw out the Bullshit flag. Done it myself a few times lately, too. I got enough issues, I don't need to be taken back to high school, or raise someone else's kids, I have my own little monsters to worry about.

They can play in my sandbox, but when they're done, they damn well better clean up the mess and take their toys home!

[eveshka.livejournal.com]

I've no freaking clue. You were off mine too. You're back now, so stay put! ;)

I don't have kids, and I frequently remind people that I don't have kids, and have no need to adopt them. I get odd looks, but it gets the point across. ^_~

[pooka.livejournal.com]

Darn, cuz here I was running a Two For One special .... ;)

[eveshka.livejournal.com]

/laughs

No thank you! ;)

[pooka.livejournal.com]

DAMN! That NEVER works! :D

Deathly allergic to stooooopid

[pooka.livejournal.com]

Sweetest baby sister, I'm tossin the Bullshit flag.

You had every reason to NEED to post it, much less want to do it.

And I can guarantee tact has been tried, and failed.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

I'm not wondering... I know it's not me :)

[sorchawench.livejournal.com]

LOL, you're safe.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Love YOU!

Drama whore alert

[greeklady.livejournal.com]

It is me! It is me! It is all about me! *waaaaa*

LOL That is when you need to remind them,

Step off the cross we need the wood,

Or my other favorite,

Step out of the me zone!

Fuck em if they can't take the truth, fuck em twice if they can't take a joke. Jesus christ on a cracker. Do they not have a life? Brain? And seriously, if that was pms, I would not even worry because you have complete control of your senses. I would have lashed out and told them exactly how it is.

Re: Drama whore alert

[pooka.livejournal.com]

Right. I like you.

[docmom.livejournal.com]

Eh, I knew it wasn't me, as I never post, so I certainly don't rant often enough to be annoying (though I can spam a friendslist when I finally come out of hermitage).

I'd expect, however, if someone was frustrated with reading, that they would simply unfriend me. I'd likely ignore a rant, figuring that if you're tired of reading, you can pull the plug yourself.

Friendslists. Srs bzns.

[her-whispers.livejournal.com]

Of course I'm dying to know if the person who went *poof* was in fact one of the two. But I realize that is none of my business.

I added you as a friend not too long ago specifically because you DO say what is on your mind and you ARE honest about things. It's refreshing to find other people who will call it as they see it rather than pussyfooting around and only saying things to make people feel good. I should probably NOT blab my opinion on things as often as I do, but sometimes I really just want to shake some people on my FL and be like, "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!" ah the LJ drama. There are actually a few people I have been tempted to delete because it feels like it's all only negativity and pessimism, but then, given my emotional state/entries lately, I'd have to delete myself too LOL

[dragontdc.livejournal.com]

I missed the drama. Showed up just a minute late to the theater and this really obnoxious usher that looked suspiciously like Bruce Campbell wouldn't let me in. Sorry MJ.

[stormdancer80.livejournal.com]

I think more than a few need to get a good pair of steel tipped boots.

Seriously... I mean SERIOUSLY. They have friended you. Read all the fabulous bullshit you put up with on a daily basis. Posts DRIPPING in sarcasm and skepticism about the lack of chlorine in the gene pool. Probably the same people that can't WAIT to post in agreement to you going off on the lack of medicine to help with the stupid allergy. Yet they are the same people that help cause the allergy to be inflamed and can't handle the idea they are part of that crowd they so often criticize.

This is exactly why I have like 2 good friends and that's it.

[fox-bard.livejournal.com]

But... but...

Who else is gonna flatter me if I don't flatter myself?

(For real: For two minutes I thought it might be me because I'm vain, egotistical, human, and above all else, I started posting rant-y twaddle again just a few days ago. Then I decided that if I was really being called out, that made me an internet star, and I'm just so not that cool. Errr... thank goodness!)

[sorchawench.livejournal.com]

See, the difference is...your drama? 1. It's understandable. 2. It's not unbelievable. 3. You're TRYING to fix it. Not wallowing in it.

And you are an internet star. At least in this household you are anyway. ;)

[fox-bard.livejournal.com]

LOL! Sometimes I don't even believe my own drama. Although, at least it's quite logical these days. It's based on the demons in my head, instead of trying to be considered uber cool and magically powerful against a race of demons trying to kill people in the shadows. (Yes, I once was there... as little as a decade ago! Oy! ::face-palm::)

Thank insert-whatever-divine-intelligent-something-or-other that I'm growing up.

And I'm honoured to be an internet star in your household. Because I dream about being there at least once every six months or so. I still don't know why.

[art-witch.livejournal.com]

So I'm way behind on reading LJ (was out of town and then had a huge saga with my transmission blowing on the freeway, 100 miles into my trip back home) so I had to go read what the hubbub was about.

You were TOTALLY talking about me, weren't you?

:P

[docjeff.livejournal.com]

I figure if it'd been me, you would've told me directly. You're good that way. :) *Hugs*
