Arguing with someone in their journal does not constitute a smear campaign.
A campaign involves an active effort to spread a message to the public. Posting on LJ, slapping up posters, getting up in people's faces when they're walking along minding their own business--you know all about that.
But you know what? I don't fucking care anymore. Consider me gone from your delicate and rather wide-ranging psychosocial personal space.
Heya, Jeff. Blake is out in left field, seriously. I know you were not using me at the dance. I had no idea you were so sweet on Jane at the time, but you treated me nicely up until--well, whatever happened. You tried to make things right with me afterwards, but I was really, really hurt and embarrassed. I said it was okay but it wasn't. I should have not tried to smooth it over but I didn't want anyone else to know how I felt. If I had been honest with you we both might have handled things differently.
I'm so used to trying to make everything seem fine. That's the way I was raised: everything has to seem fine even if it's not. Well, I have decided that pretending is no better than a lie. And I can't stand lying and hating. I owe you an apology for being mean to you. I am really truly sorry I behaved unkindly to you.
Let's genuinely forgive and forget. I will if you will.
I am sure you meant well, but I totally disagree with your interpretation of what happened. Yes, I was really mad. Yes, I got in Jeff's face about it. But I think I can tell when I'm being "used" and believe me, that's not what was going on.
If you want to argue with Jeff, that's fine, I am not going to stop you. But you can't use his behavior to me as a point of debate when you weren't one of the people involved. Still, I appreciate your chivalrous instincts very much, I really really do.
More than happy to, though I don't really have much to forgive you for. But I welcome your forgiving and forgetting more than you know.
Francie, in a burst of honesty here (not usually my thang, it just doesn't go well with these shoes) I gotta say: I was two steps from asking you out on that day you blew up at me and Marlowe tried to do whatever it is he does on my back. I don't know if that even matters to you -- but since you started blooming, you been pretty damn fine. This is all supposed to be coming out as like an enormous compliment but I can't figure out how to put it.
Maybe in rhyme.
No.
Anyway, maybe next lifetime, as Erykah might put it (I got a lil' some'n' some 'n' goin' on these days) -- but what I mean here is that you're a total hotTAY these days, and that you should continue to work it and throw down, flip it and reverse it likeyou damn well please and that the Eupheme boys (the ones who like girls) better watch out. With me?

...pardon, are you using the concept being gay as an insult, Chaucer? Because, that is absolutely the most not-okay thing ever in my book.

Ummm. Nothing else to say, really. I'm only familiar with about an eighth of the drama that goes on at this school.
