I was just talking with someone and that conversation clued me in on some things that have been going on ‘round these parts lately. I almost wish I didn’t know. Almost.

 

Not everyone is nice. They’re just not. If you think they are you’re naïve and you’re fooling yourself. Some people get their jollies by being a-holes to everyone else. Who cares why they do it – just know that they do it and move on. If you think everyone is a bitch and is out to get you and talks about you all the time, you’re also naïve and fooling yourself. Most people are too busy to bother with someone only tangentially known to them and really could care less about the relatively insignificant details of your life.

 

There’s got to come a time where you finally say THIS is who I am; where you actually take responsibility for your actions and be happy with who you are or try to change it.

 

You who are reading this know who I am. You’ve seen what ticks me off, and what makes me sad, and what I’ve apologized for in the past. If you think there’s another part of me, you’re right, because you can only ever know so much. But this is about the closest you’re ever going to get to know, because this is who I am to everyone, online and IRL. I don’t speak something to one group and another thing to another. I don’t lie and say I had no responsibility for my actions. I don’t share things said in confidence to me. And guess what? The enemy of your enemy is not your friend.

 

And if you think what I’m writing may be about you, it probably is.

Oh, dear. You sound like you're very upset. I have no idea what's going on - there's been so much tomfoolery flying around that it's hard to keep it all straight. But I know that you've stayed marvelously above the muck, E., and it speaks well of you. I hope that whatever this is doesn't bring you down too much. Please do keep perspective, and try not to let it spoil your mood, your weekend, or your wonderful friendships here. :)

Lan, I am upset, but thank you SO MUCH for your words. You'd be surprised at how much they help. :)

I'm absolutely clueless which sadly makes me happy because I know I'm not involved in whatever happened that set you off. Whatever it is it must be bad, because you are in rare form with this particular post. I hope whatever happened resolves itself quickly, for their sake.

Dude ... I've got a couple of tens to trade ya for that twenty so you can head back to Juanita's.

Lindsay, I have only a small inkilinmg of some of the things going on and just can't believe some of the crap. Like Kelli, I am blisfully unaware of most of it. I've done some housekeeping on my friend's list and have decided I don't need those kinds of people in my life.

As usual, I'm unaware of all the drama too busy I'm afraid. If you need an ear locally, please feel free to call. I'm not online a whole lot these days so the phone is easier.

{{{{hugs}}}} I hope you're feeling more upbeat soon.

Totally OT...but I miss chatting with you!!!

Agreed - it's been much too long. I'm pretty much either working on the house or out visiting family this weekend, so I'll call sometime soon. Want to get together for lunch this week? Even something like brown-bagged pb&j at a local park sounds like a fun time for me.
