I need to put my two cents in

I have never been on the know about the main cause of LJDrama but I found out about this and felt that I had to say something. This is about the whole incident about jenionfire putting her cat to sleep. If you're tired of hearing all about it or just don't care about my opinion then I initially found out about it from a post made in randomquestions with a link to the major instigators of this entire situationljdrama files. I read their thing, some of the comments people made, along with jenionfire's entry in question. Last night when I read it it was still there and she has completely closed off her journal and made it friends only but the ljdrama people thought of everything, here's her entry saved on their database.

Firstly I must say that what she did was a bad thing but in her entry she wasn't bragging about euthanizing her cat, she was speaking out of guilt! She felt bad about what she had to do and was just trying to express her emotions in her journal. I am not speaking for her defense nor am I on her side (I'm not on anyone's side). But the comments that her entry attracted on that ljdrama site were highly uncalled for. People were wishing for her death and hoping she gets AIDS,cancer and the like. Alright, this person did a very bad thing, she euthanized her cat because she thought he had feline HIV and was sickly, but why would you wish death on this person? There are people doing much worse things like raping little kids and everyone is up in arms about a cat owner euthanizing her cat.

I am not making light of it at all but just trying to say that it's not right for what appears like everyone on LJ to tell her she should die. People were saying that she was only saving her ass by saying the cat was sick in an entry after that one which she also posted in the community she (used to-they just banned her from the community) co-moderate (bring_it) but nobody actually knows what really happened unless they were there with her in the whole cat thing. Maybe the cat was suffering with a disease or maybe she did it because she hated the cat-only she knows. And all I have to say to that is if what she did was really evil and inhumane then she will get hers eventually, God will punish her-Karma, it deals everyone a dose of what they give out. (I'm not one of those who believe God controls our lives all the time but I do believe in God and that he punishes the evil and those who do bad things, either now or after you die.please don't laugh at me) And don't send me hatemail now because I just don't think someone should be basically run off of LJ because of euthanizing their cat, no matter what their reasons.

Sorry, I just had to say something here.

Moving on...
I emailed my college friend last week to tell her about my grades and see how she was doing and I only recieved her reply today. She told me that the only reason it took her so long to reply was because she was jealous about my chemistry grade.

Sorry I didn't write back sooner. I'm still sore over your chem comment. I got a B- too and it kinda hurt that you said if you can do a B-, I can do at least an A.... I can't so that was a bruise on my ego.. I missed deans list by .082 which REALLY isn't fair. I worked my ass off for deans list this semester and JUST freakin missed it! I have also been very jealous that you got it and I didn't when I know I have the capability to get it! Sorry I've been a little sore lately about those grades, and I probably will be for a while... so don't mind it.

I felt so bad about that because I know that she is smart and she deserved to be on Dean's List and completely deserved the A in chemistry. She knew and understood a whole lot more than I did, so her grade didn't reflect her knowledge in my opinion. And I also don't see how that could've happened since all of her test grades were higher than mine. The very first test of the semester that I got around a 59 on she got a 94, the last test before the final I got an 83 and she got an 89. She always got better grades than me in chemistry and I didn't mind it because I knew that chemistry was not my thing and that I didn't have as good a grasp on it as she did.

I really feel bad for her, sympathy even, because she has been through so much. Firstly her parents are divorced and her mom's new husband moved the entire family (her sister and brother) out to Arizona when my friend was going to be entering college. She ended up moving in with a neighbor for the school year. From what she told me her neighbor was very mean to her. Her neighbor complained about my friend to everyone who would listen but never said a word to my friend about anything. She also had money problems, her car broke down and she couldn't fix it. Her father lives here but as far as I know they don't see each other often. He lives in an efficiancy apartment which, from what she told me, is a one room place. I asked her why she couldn't move in with him and she said that he was living in disability and couldn't afford another apartment so they could move in together.

Now she moved in with her grandfather so hopefully things will work out for her. But I do feel that she has had some bad luck in her life thus far. Which is what makes her saying I upset her with my grades make me feel even worse. It makes me appear as if I was waving my grades in front of her face. But I had a D+ last semester when she had a B and the fact that I brought my grade up so much made me feel proud of myself.

I guess I just had a lot of opinions today.
