I have decided I am not being paranoid when I won't tell Gee-nii-san when she's upsetting me in fear that she'll freak out. this fight started off very small, with Gee-nii-san just hurting me when I left an entry ending with how I was sad we had no shared classes and her response was only, "If you're going to make really, super long entries? I really hate seeing my friends page being longer than it should be, so I'm politely asking --
long entries + lj cuts = LOVE."
however, it has drastically escalated.
after Gee-nii-san made that entry, aja responded with this:

1. all right, seriously. if you have a problem with something someone does, can you please just say it to their faces instead of posting an entry about it?
2. there are specific things that are, by nature, posted behind cuts: pictures, fanfics, icon posts, long meme's, TMI, and, if someone so wishes, really emo or personal things they want people to be able to skip over if they want. not just a long entry. if it's as long as my AnimeBoston entry, then yeah, it should go behind a cut, but otherwise it's not that big a deal and your flist isn't suffering as much as you seem to think.
honestly, it's not that bad. she was really just sticking up for me when Gee-nii-san was making me feel like crap. over course, Gee-nii-san had to comment back:
myfinaltrick on August 30th, 2007 01:07 am (UTC)
1. Mm, yeah, well, your sister wasn't online and I don't see her at all in school. *shrug* So oh well.
2. Long entries stretch friends pages. Really. It really gets on my nerves, and I don't bother putting my flist on journals only because I don't have that many LJ friends. It's just my personal feelings, don't have a cow about it.
...yeah, ok so was it impossible to post to my actual entry or something? and aja didn't have a cow. she was just saying how she felt about this, and not even rudely.
and so the drama continues...:
gundanium on August 30th, 2007 01:23 am (UTC)
1. for the record, rosie rarely checks her flist these days. she's always doing other things. and you could have just left a comment to the entry itself, you know.
2. yes, telling you something to your face is my having a cow about it. and I never asked you to post it behind a cut, now, did I?
no people, the fight hasn't ended yet! 8D:
myfinaltrick on August 30th, 2007 01:40 am (UTC)
1. I was debating it, but I navigated away from the page to go to insultmonger.
2. Well, there's no need to be a smart-ass about it. I'm not going to keep this back-and-forth crap up, just drop it, it's not worth arguing about it. I just want excessively large entries to be behind an LJ cut. It's common courtesy. And I only said you're having a cow about it is because you're not exactly being nice about it. So whatever. Drop it, I'm not arguing about it anymore. Not worth it.
...good to know my feeling are always on your mind Gee-nii-san. and I'd like to point out, aja didn't say anything smart-ass-ish until Gee-nii-san continued the fight.
I think it was also around this time that Gee-nii-san posted this entry:

[protected post] `kay, so:
What's with people jumping down my throat for my opinions lately?
I don't expect people to actually agree, but come on. It's like I can't say anything on here without someone getting offended. Seriously.
I'm angry. Honestly angry. The kind of angry that will give me panic attacks if I think on it too much.
(haha, dear die-ary, mood: apathetic. my life is spiraling downwards ...)
...ok, so aja jumped down your throat for saying how she really felt, but when you say how you feel, it's not jumping down peoples' throats. lolWUT?
and there's more now!:
hielofbullets on August 30th, 2007 02:03 am (UTC)
1. omg, you can't be serious. You are bitching at someone for not saying things to people's faces. Yeah, so funny. "I'll do my best" (lol, josh is trying to be civil and actually attempting to not have our fighting be a burden to the few mutual friends we still have. lol this is so funny. I'm gonna call josh stupid on my LJ so all the people who don't know him at all will agree. lol. Let's laugh at josh pretending to be smart, sure he has a B average in a real college after i not only failed out of real college but managed to fail a bunch of community college, but I'm so much smarter. I mean, i have tons of online friends and he mostly only has real life friends who actually know him)
2. "there are specific things that are, by nature, posted behind cuts" -- and tell me again, who made you the god of LJ? why do you decide what should go behind an LJ cut? Tara got a little annoyed by people posting huge entries that caused her friendlist to become a wall of text for several screens worth of scrolling and she asked that people not do that, and you just decide that's not what lj-cuts are for. seriously, get off your high-fucking-horse and get over yourself.
lol, omg josh, you're not funny. :D though honestly, we didn't know this was him. we thought it was just some random lj friends of Gee-nii-san bursting in to add more drama. and I don't care how smart josh is on paper, he doesn't talk intelligently until those moments where he wants to make people feel slow. it's also great to know Gee-nii-san was letting josh look at aja's protected entries through her account.
aaaaaaaand we're not done yet. after aja said this:
gundanium on August 30th, 2007 02:04 am (UTC)
...who are you and why are you getting yourself involved in this?
(we srsly didn't know it was josh) next, he responds with:
hielofbullets on August 30th, 2007 02:06 am (UTC)
I'm tara's boyfriend. You know, the guy who cares about him. The guy who you hate so much and make fun of a laugh about behind his back? The "asshole" as you so constantly put it when bitching to all your super-close lj-friends.
And yeah you know what, if someone sends my girlfriend into panic attacks and makes it hard for her to breathe, i'm gonna fucking get involved and tell them to go fuck themselves.
...honestly, I'm too lazy to make comments about these anymore, so just enjoy reading the drama:
gundanium on August 30th, 2007 02:13 am (UTC)
...you got a new LJ name? oO
wow, chill. for one thing, I wasn't making fun of you, I said it amused me for some reason (I think it was the olive branch thing, excuse me; it was the wording you used after all the crap we put each other through). and I still find it strange that you take such pride in calling yourself an asshole but get mad when I do. and yeah, I claim to be uber!close to all my LJ friends.
and I'm sorry tara had a panic attack and couldn't breathe, but all I did was honestly confront her about something she could easily have resolved some other way. remember that bottling things up was what started all our fights in the first place?
and the things I listed that should be placed under LJ cuts are what people list on almost any fandom community you can find.
and then of course josh:
hielofbullets on August 30th, 2007 02:17 am (UTC)
oh, cuz the people in fandom communities decide what's best for LJ?
and you know what, you constantly bitch at people for getting involved in other's fights, but how about you getting involved in rose's fights, and vice versa. If rose was upset with tara's post, she could've said something on her own.
and i read the comments on your entry about me, i saw how you and jess were making fun of me and everything. how i have to "try to sound smart and civil" cuz i'm "Like that"
and aja again:
gundanium on August 30th, 2007 02:21 am (UTC)
yeah, except rosie won't do it because she's afraid something like this will happen if she says anything, and you seem to have no problem in butting into people's fights when you yell at us for doing it.
dude, you've done that to me more times than I can count. you do try to sound smart and civil. and really, if I were making fun of you I'd say something really, really nasty, not just call you an asshole and say stuff like that.
annnnd josh again:
hielofbullets on August 30th, 2007 02:26 am (UTC)
eh, whatever. you're not worth the time to bitch at. I'm done, whatever. Go to hell and die or something. Or you know what, don't. I don't really care. I'm sick of you and all your shit, and you know what, i could say some really nasty things too aja. Like, oh i don't know let's see, how bout calling you a whore.. and you know what, i'm not wrong to say that. Cuz last time i checked, letting Princess put his hands down your pants while steph feels you up inside your shirt and sarah feels up princess... yeah that pretty much is the definition of whore.
don't bother replying to this, i won't read it. I don't care.
you know josh, in the months we haven't talked, I'd forgotten why we stopped being friends with you! 8D ...oh yeah, that's why. --;
I've realized now, if I wanted to remain Gee-nii-san's friend, not only will I have to deal with josh, but I won't be allowed to say anything that may upset, including telling her when I'm upset by something she's doing because in the end, I will end up the bad guy. not only will Gee-nii-san being down either my throat or aja's throat, josh will then join straight away. I remember Gee-nii-san saying awhile back that I kept trying to make her out as the bad guy, but right now, I really don't feel like that's the case. and you know what Gee-nii-san, if it'll make you happy you can keep being the victim and I'll be the bad guy and end this.
so. this is the end. I declare this finished officially because I am not willing to put myself in the bad guy position in order to stay friends. I give up all attempts to fix our friendship Gee-nii-san, it's not worth it. for either of us. I'm sick of feeling like shit and I'm sure you are as well. I somehow always manage to hurt you and when you hurt me, I'm not allowed to tell you so basically it's a destructive relationship on both sides. I'm tired of having to walk on egg shells when it comes to our relationship, so I'm just not gonna bother trying to fix this anymore. we're obviously just not meant to be friends, or it could just be as simple as you not wanting to be friends with me so whatever. let's not keep trying to force a dying horse to walk, ok? there'll be no more drama and fighting this way at least.
...and even after decided to give up on this, I still feel like I should be going through this entry to edit all the parts where I talk badly of josh and Gee-nii-san so as to not upset Gee-nii-san. how pathetic is that?
