November post #3
I was just sharing with Mellie Pie the story of someone on LJ who seems to think it's only okay for her to make certain types of posts, but when I do it, it's clearly a personal attack and grounds for defriending. Way to be mature.
People, if you're dealing with personal blogs, then you have to be prepared to read things you might not always like. I do all the time. The person I was just talking about? I was getting sick of reading her entries because there was never anything good in them, and it got frustrating to read. But it's HER BLOG. She can write whatever the hell she wants in there, and good for her. Apparantly, though, it's asking too much to expect that same courtsey in return. She can rant and be negative in her personal blog; but for some reason, I can't rant in mine.
Lovely readers, do me a favor, please. I post the things that are on my mind. Some of them will be happy and fun. Some will be sad. Some will be thought-provoking, some will be infuriating. I don't expect everything to be everyone's cup of tea, because I KNOW we aren't all the same person. Imagine that! Different people are *gasp* different! So if there's something that....really grates you the wrong way? Just...walk away from the post. Don't assume it was put there JUST to piss you off, because believe me, it wasn't--I don't have that kind of time or energy, and you aren't as important as you think you are. Don't try to read anything special into it, because it probably has no special meaning. There is no secret decoder ring that goes with this blog, I promise. No hidden messages spelled out by every 5th letter. What you see is, indeed, what you get.
Hmmm...wonder how many people I just pissed off with this?
