Oct 22, 2005 08:22

i am starting to wonder if lj is a good thing. i do enjoy the occasional update and i like to be able to read what is going on with my friends, but more and more i am feling like i have nothing to say to some people when i meet up with them cos its already all been posted on lj. part of the joy of seeing my friends is being able to share ( Read more... )

None of it was aimed at you! No subtext, no nothing. And we weren't ranting that badly. Most of it was "Men are a bit crap" rather than "Men suck". But if it's bugging you in future, just tell us to shut up.

I mostly use it to keep in touch with people I don't see in real life, but I like seeing people I know's entries too.

And we did, in fact, point out that we think a lot of women suck, too.

the general invite was extended to mind_Expander when i last spoke to him on the phone before i made that entry. Your invite was extended at Waxy's, none of it was done on LJ, i tried an LJ invite for birthday, seemed to fail so i decided against inviting via LJ after that.

it was the suggestion to come over after work and play clans. I've been bugging folk to play it as i am determined to play again :D

ah sorry, went a bit off on one there.... None of it was aimed at you at all!! You would seem to be one of the only guys I know that possesses (too many s's??) basic common sense. And that's not to say that theres something inherently wrong with all the rest of the blokes, I just can't pretend to understand them ;0) I just don't put you in the same catergory as the men that I was ranting at.

You haven't ever seemed to be the kind of bloke that thinks they are the worlds best at everything including the things they haven't tried yet, you seem to have the ability to engage brain before fist or willy and most importantly you haven't ever insinuated that I am thick or not as good at stuff purely on the basis that I have tits (tho I think that may be me being over senstive sometimes) This is a very good thing and exactly why I think you rock.

Sorry for worrying you to the point you had to leave, promise not to do it again, big hugs xx

Correct number of Ss! Hurrah!

Yes, we must define our boundaries correctly when bitching...

spiderpixie October 22 2005, 17:46:22 UTC

or just find a boundary, any boundary would do.......

well thank you 'pix. nice that someone thinks i rock :)

i didn't realise how whiny this post sounded this morning. honestly guys, i am not worried, offended or scared off (i was leaving anyway). more than anything it was just me and stoned paranoia because you guys acted in seamless union on this subject from which i am assuming that it is not exactly a new conversation. i really enjoyed the conversation (although started to feel guilty for being asociated with the neandarthals that are men)

i guess i was just ranting a little bit myself this morning. sorry to appear to be such a moan :)
