To "ROSIE"... using this in place of my regret for not knowing your real name... just read it.
How about this... YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. I should never have used your name in my entry. Let me tell you though, all those girls can hate/dislike/not prefer my cousin and say whatever rude, childish, imature [anonymous] comments and remarks that they feel necessary, but I on the other hand, Jenny Bourgois, don't play that game. You may have

I do know about the things you're talking about. Very well actually. So for you to just assume that you've been through worse or that I don't know anything about it... and then to sit here and tell me/threaten me to (or not to) assume?? It makes no sense. My mom was engaged for 13 years to Mark Djocaj, who was Albanian and born in Yugoslavia. He still goes over to visit his family five or six times a year, so you trust me--I have heard about it. I do know stories, recent first-hand stories about what happened to who and how. Do you know how many funerals I went to while he was around for 13 years? How many family members he had that were brutually murdered? How many loved ones he watched die? Well, you're saying you know all about it, which I don't doubt, but now you can take your own advice. You threaten me around like what I'm doing is so horrible and wrong, like assumptions are completely unallowed and unjustified, so don't make assumptions about me.
Watch what I say about arab/chaldean girls? I better not assume things? Did you go to Sterling? Then don't assume what it's like to put up with the certain group of them that I was talking about. I am not saying I hate arabs or chaldeans. There are *SO* many out there that I absolutely love. I get along well with most of them. I am not racist or prejudice and I never was. We have some arabs/chaldeans who are normal and THEY even complain about that group of them that is not normal, considerate or mature. Some things are not isolating or categorizing--they are facts. It is a FACT that the majority of the girls in the bathrooms acting like I explained were arabs/chaldean. Until you attend SHHS, you won't understand the annoyance some of them create AT STERLING. I don't know if you assumed that I was trying to insult you or that I was being irrational in pointing out the facts that relate the chaldeans/arabs (only that annoying group of them) and Sterling, but you're wrong.
As far as you worrying about them doing something to me, they won't. Maybe all of the ones you know are brave and don't talk shit, but that doesn't go for the ones at Sterling, but you would know, right? Most of the ones screaming out threats don't walk the talk. That's just how it goes with them at Sterling.
Out of all people, I would expect you to be the most caring, empathetic and understanding person when it comes to a death in the family. Your nonchalant "whatever hardships you may have had in life, we all have, from close family deaths, to diseases in the family, to mutual friends passing... and believe me I've been through worse" comment wasn't too far from the response I expected.
At least you started with "I'm sorry for," but that seemed to be a cliche after you finished the sentence. I'm not that way. I am VERY sorry for what you have had to go through. I may not have heard you talk about it or hugged you while you cried over it, but I don't need to. I can just imagine the pain, the suffering, the unanswered questions, the want to help, but unable to do so feelings that you've endured. The horrible things you have had to see as a girl, as a child, as a friend and family member. It's unreal. I would love to continue to stress my sympathy and condolescenes for your many losses, your broken heart, your witness to these incidents and your family, but you don't seem to give a shit. It seems that making threats and trying to tell me what to write or not write about was more important than expressing empathy or leaving a polite comment/request to not use your name in my entries.

I guess that sums up my response to you. If you don't like what I say, don't fucking put your little mouse on that hyperlinked word that is spelled MS_KAYLEE and definitely if you somehow get "linked" mysteriously to the page... you will notice that bright ass lime green against the background that is black... not to mention my picture in the corner as the user icon... and "link" yourself back to the page that somehow got you here. Let me tell you about this nifty little back button on the top, left hand corner of your browser... click it when you see my picture or page. Then, we won't have this problem.
I don't tell you what to say or not to say, especially in your journal. I did try to sympathize with you and your horrible life, but to no avail, you're more caught up on trying to be a bad ass talking shit to someone that disagrees with you. Everyone is entitled to opinion and everyone is entitled to express it until it creates chaos for those and the world around them. I am not creating any chaos and you are MAKING A CHOICE to read my journal posts. So, if any "chaos" is being created in your life/world because of my words, then it is your own fault. Don't read them. I am not sitting on your porch forcing you to listen to my thoughts and opinions. A journal is made for the purpose of expressing your feelings--no matter how preposterous, absurd, wrong, unjust or mean YOU feel MY feelings are, they are MY FEELINGS and this is where I am able to express them.
I don't care if it was you who posted anonymous--I don't care who it was. If you also haven't realized, I have a choice to turn off the comments or delete yours (as well as the rude anonymous comments), but I choose not to because I want people to be able to comment to my entries. Not just my "friends in real life," because I don't have to know you personally in order for someone to have something important, challenging or nice to say. Many people come across the journals and I don't want it to be limited to my "one huge group of best friends" because I'm sorry, unlike you, I want to know different kinds of people, from different places, with different things to say. Someone else's point of view could change your mind on something just by opening your eyes and well, the way you put it like all of you guys are the same because you're friends, doesn't fit my idea of being well-rounded. I don't want just one group of people who all share the same (or majority of) opinions. I like being challenged. I like someone from another country commenting and making me see something that I never thought of before. If you don't feel that way, so be it. Then don't add me as a friend, like they did. So give up the anonymous deal--that was never something important in the first place.
And no, I didn't expect you to "post something nice after [my] comment" because your "big group of best friends" speaks for you. I guess that's the down fall of placing yourself in a huge group of people who've come together as friends because they like and dislike all (or most) of the same things.
I don't
