There's been a lot on my mind lately with a lot of different subjects. The first few right now should be relatively obvious -- eyes, apartment, job, money. The money aspect I've been doing pretty good with. I haven't been spending ANY money. The only thing I spent money on recently was a ticket to get into the MSG job/career fair thing on July 17th.

As far as my eye(s) are doing.. A lot better. There are still some concerns I have which I'm going to be talking to my eye doctor about on Tuesday.. I've been doing some research on my own too, but I trust the eye doctor more than what I find on the Internet. My situation sucks seriously, but there are people who have it worse. DDD: Blah. That's all I think about and then I make myself feel worse because of it. DDD:

Uh.. What else? Oh! Defamation of character(s) and slander. Let's have a little definition time!

Defamation is the issuance of a false statement about another person, which causes that person to suffer harm.
Slander involves the making of defamatory statements by a transitory (non-fixed) representation, usually an oral (spoken) representation. [Caitlin's note: Can also constitute in Internet conversations via Instant Messaging and/or E-mail]
Third party is often used in the English language in connection with any relationship between two parties or entities to refer to some other person or entity with some involvement.

Frankly, this type of thing happens all the time and quite honestly it's annoying. I don't like good people's names being dragged through the mud when they haven't done anything wrong. It's one of those things that is like be wary who you associate with. It's especially common on the Internet because as we all know... GUISE THE INTERNETS IS SRS FUCKING BZNS. I know there's not-so-nice things said about me and truthfully people are entitled to their own opinion, but when that opinion is based purely on falsehood and whiny rantings it is ridiculous. I do my fair share of complaining, bitching, whining, whatever, and it's all spread through this journal. I have defamed my parents multiple times and probably a bunch of other nameless people out of sheer anger. My parents (just annoying/protective/looking out for my well-being etc.) aren't as bad as I make them seem, the nameless aren't either, probably.. Probably being the key word. Haaaa. So this probably comes off a bit hypocritical of me, but I at least realize I have done these things and will fess up to them. Can you? Rather! Will you?

Petty Internet drama is ridiculous, but again THE INTERNETS IS SRS BZNS. The people who cannot distinguish reality from fantasy deserve a smack in the face. The people who believe everything they read that litters over this thing that was originally created for Government purposes deserve a smack. The people that take things too seriously when something is spoken orally when it is in joking fashion based on something that has happened on the Internet also deserve a smack.

I am by no means saying that I am better than anyone else or saying that I can distinguish fact from falsehood, but some things are just a gimme. A lot of things I take with a grain of salt and that sometimes includes what people spew from their mouths. There are such things as pathological liars -- who ironically -- try to make themselves seem like a victim or a fairy princess of complete and utter innocence. I have encountered a few in my life and will no doubt come across some more people like this.

Here is another definition;
Pathological liar is someone who often embellishes his or her stories in a way that he or she believes will impress people.

Then there are the compulsive liars as well, who make up stories and associate them with other facts/stories -- in which both compulsive liars and pathological liars can cycle back towards defamation of character/slander.

Hmm~ The media can be grouped into all of this too, for sure. Gossip papers/writers live for this shit.

So! This is just general observations and stuff on my part.

I wonder how many people will think I'm a bitch (or a bigger bitch) now because of this! :D Despite it all I know how I am. I know I am (generally) a kind hearted person. I get it from my dad. If I don't like you, you'll fucking know it. :D Lucky for everyone on my F-list, I like you! 8DDDDD

EDIT: I just realized something!! The Hate meme that popped up a few days ago or whatever and how offended or upset people got over it... It was a thing to get frustration/anger and the like out. :D
