on the joys and pains of modern technology

band practice today was pretty cool...finally got a grasp on the MOTU so we are able to record all at once, makes things so much easier, getting the tightness and energy to transfer to the recordings will come along smoothly. now the next challenge is mic placement, getting that art nailed

Brittany, if you don't intend for anyone to misconstrue your message, including those who know you pretty well, then perhaps you should refrain from posting it on a public forum. While I understand the concept of freedom of speech and all that, all of us, including myself, run the risk of not getting our point across in the manner that we intended. It's the internet, it's impersonal. But I too detected some nastiness in the tone of your response to his post. I'm sure you mean well in Adam's case and for as long as I have known him, I'm know he's not offended. However, what's happened here is that while you plead the case of Natalie or Michael not knowing you, you in turn have made some sweeping generalizations about them. That itself is a contradictory action on your part. you three hardly interact with one another so anything you know about each other is only hearsay. Insulting someone personally as a reaction to them pointing out a mistake is not the right way, I assure you. The fact is, your response DID come across as snarly and

I hear what you're saying, Lisa, and I appreciate your maturity, but in all honesty, I don't care what either of them think. I'm sorry, but it was meant for Adam and Adam only. He knows it wasn't rude whatsoever, and didn't even take offense. It's those two that of course did. Neither one knows or understands me, so therefore they're going to think I meant it in a bad way. You hardly know me at all either, and so that would make sense for you even to think I meant it in a nasty way. I realize that that's how you would handle the situation, and that's great, but I'm not you. As far as you accusing me of not thinking before I speak is ridiculous, since you have no idea what was even meant by that statement. That's fine though, that's how you see it, and you like everyone wont change their mind, so whatever. I never said Adam acted on impulse, and if you read what he said, he doesn't even agree with it. My response is critical and unsupportive, because I don't agree with it. It's MY opinon, and it's how I handle things. Not

[thatsatallbitch]

I made the statement that ALL of us need to watch what we say, not just you in particular. I also said that I'm sure there was no bad blood between you and Adam. And of course I know exactly what you meant to say to Adam, your message was loud and clear. You are certainly entitled to your opinion. What I keep reading here, is that you believe I am putting words into other people's mouths, including yours. Regardless of how well I know you or even if didn't know you at all doesn't change the fact that the tone of your statement appeared to be nasty. I wasn't the only person who perceived it that way

[thatsatallbitch]

Correction:

I meant to say that opinions ARENT objective.

[smousey]

Right, and again you're attacking JUST ME. Attack Natalie or fucko eyes for starting this whole thing. For having faulty logic when it comes to MY life. But of course you couldn't do that, could you??? God forbid you disagree with either one of them. *gasp* Now look here, I have talked to Adam about this iuntenert relationship thing more than once, so it's YOU who doesn't have their facts straight. Before you accuse me of such bullshit, think about what YOU are saying. Take your own advice, because it's bullshit that everything you're saying is only being applied to ME. Do you have a problem with me that affects you, outside of this fucking petty post??? Because if you do, I'd really like to know. Your attacks here on me show that you do. Natalie and fucko eyes both HATE me, just so you know, so they're looking for any way to fight with me that they can. THAT'S why she responded to me the way she did.. That didn't appear nasty to you at all?? How bout fucko eyes' comments?? If you're gonna call someone "nasty" look at

[smousey]

No, you sure don't. I've told you before I have no problem with you, so why would I turn that around if I didn't mean it. Obviosuly everybody's misinterrpreted what the other's said. We've all brought up a bunch of rumors about the other and made this out to be quite petty and stupid in my opinion. I don't feel the need to bring up sepcficis, cuz y'all know what was said just as well as I do. And if you'd also like to say I can't support myself, then fine. I'll go back and dig up the specifics for you. I do remember you actually having your own brain to think though, and you don't strike me as a lazy person, so you can read just as well as I can.

[thatsatallbitch]

Where on Earth do you read in my statement that I am ATTACKING you?! And no, all of what I said doesn't apply to you, it applies to EVERYBODY. I have no problems with you at all. It's common knowledge among my friends that I'm not shy about sharing my displeasure with anything. I also am not afraid of disagreeing with them, and I have before. However, those little disagreements have been thankfully offline and in person

[smousey]

Oh my god, you too?? And who was this person that called me crazy?? Fucko eyes, or were you jsut there when my mike said all females on their period are crazy, and that I'm crazy right now?? I mean jesus christ, you people are unbelievably gossipy. I mean it's as simple as this, you can go around calling anyone psycho and crazy, or slutty, and guess what?? Everybody talks about it and beleives it! That's how easy it is. But if you'd also like to think that about me, then fine. I'd like to thank Adam for telling you shit about me, because now I'm sure you'll hate me too and use it against me and spread rumors. so go right ahead, and twist it around. You've been cool to me up to this point, but that's fucking bullshit. I've heard you're childish and can't handle a relationship from multiple people, but I never beleived it. It's because everyone seems to form their opinions of someone off seeing 1 thing go wrong ONE time. So you want to make enemies with me, then fine. I acually liked you and still do, and I'm sorry you don'

[thatsatallbitch]

Let's get something straight. I never gossiped about you. I was on the receiving end of that gossip. I never perpetuated the rumor mill, I see you do enough of that on your own by your gross display of name-calling and back-biting. You've also over-looked anything I said about defending you and forming my own opinion. So be it. Anything I know about you, I will continue to keep discreet because that's how I am. I'm sure you'll sleep better at night with that information. As for being childish and not being able to handle a relationship, that is the past. I admit I had some problems there but thanks for letting the rest of the world know, because goodness knows my past secrets and problems are for sale. I have no shame about who I am, but the fact that you've tried to use it as ammunition is low. If my so-called friends passed the buck onto you, well then they have me to deal with. I'd like to ask them to step forward and say that to me, unless of course you want to drop some names.

[smousey]

The same goes for me. You get angry by me saying that people have said that about you, but did you ever thinkt hat you saying people have said that about me has the same EXACT effect on me?? I don't ever tell anyone anything you tell me and have told me no matter what it is. My whole point in saying that is to show you that people spread rumors, and that if you don't like hearing that, then maybe I don't either. The whol thing about me being "crazy" all started some time last year, don't you think that that's also MY past. I think ti's also low for you to use that as ammunition against me, and that was my entire point for bringing it up. It wasn't ammunition. I mean what are you saying, it's ok for you to say people have said that shit about me, but when I say people have said shit about you, it's not ok?? I don't think so, which all goes back to your point of thinking before speaking.

SWEET JESUS THAT MADE SENSE

[thatsatallbitch]

FFS thats what i tried to tell her and she yelled at me too! I'm glad someone else besides me tells her these things, i applaud ur sense of fairplay and judgement, tact as well. You ever thought of a career as a diplomat? I guess it depends on ur level of patience hehe. You're very well spoken though, i was impressed. Brittany can tell ya that I said something similar but it was a little less proper and much more filled with swearing. Just as effective though! She listened long enough to be mad about it. But i apologized so it's ok now. Anyways I talk too much, again i say Bravo, it's easy to see u were just tryin to help out a friend with some advice and it's always nice to have that.

That's why there's QUESTION MARKS. *gasp* I wasn't attacking anything.

[smousey]

Oh that goes both ways, darlin. I'm sick of your insanity as well. IT's scary how hypocritical you are, almost psycho.
