I love reading your journal, and I don't think I've caused any problems...but, I had to do this to my journal at times too so I wouldn't be offended...I hope you're okay??? Drama sucks ass and more times than not its the people that care about you the most that cause it. :-)
Oh no, you haven't caused any drama at all. I'm kinda thinking this whole post should have just not been made because it seems like the people who are worried about being de-friended are the ones I wouldn't even think of dropping.
Yeah, that last part is so true.. it just sucks to be in the middle of stuff.
questions (not necessarily requiring answers)... 1)is it necessary to do a mass de-friending when you could just keep it specifically to the people causing drama? 2)isn't the cool thing about LJ that you get to know things about people you know IRL that just don't necessarily come up when you're talking in person? 3)What is to say that someone you met on LJ and now hang out with may not cause drama in some way in the future, and in that case will you remove them too? even though LJ has obviously proven its good qualities along with its bad
( ... )
All of those questions make sense. I think this was more my way of a sounding board because of the crap that happened. Basically one of my friends said that something was said about my brother by another friend. Dave in turn decided to try to drag me into the middle of it, and quite frankly I've had just about enough of the way he's been acting lately.
That's true about people you meet on LJ causing drama. I've seen it happen. The difference is I think when you meet people on LJ they actually take into account that you (figuratively speaking) take your journal seriously as do they. Unfortunately it seems to be the people who don't take their's seriously who cause all the drama.
I guess this reason is why I have multiple journals. 2 that my RL friends don't know about and one that only a cople people on LJ know about the other no one looks at . hmm kinda like my usual journal.
Anyways I feel safe venting in one of those others if my RL friends do something or I need to vent and dont' want them either A worrying baout me or B feeling sorry for me or C I just don't want them to know since I know they are close to the person I'm venting and hence the drama.
Hey.. that's a hell of an idea. I think if people even just did filters or if the people reading it understood that sometimes emotions take over and things get said without intention of hurting someone it'd make the whole thing a lot easier too.
in a lot of ways though... this entry (your original entry) was the perfect example of what you don't like. (i think). because it was indirect and left people wondering "hmm... is it me she's going off on?"
Hmm... I can see how that could be taken that way.
I tried to differentiate between the people who "should" worry (as if anyone would really worry about being dropped from my friends list). Honestly, this was my way to vent. The person that pissed me off the most was my brother and I was just trying to get it out. He knows I'm pissed at him. I just needed to get it out, and I felt that by posting it in here he'd understand how upset I actually am.
I think the wording could have been less ambiguous. I was just pretty much trying to save face - and not bitch out on my brother, despite the fact that I'm still pissed off at him. There are a couple other people involved, but I've talked to them about it.
I guess I should have made it a little more clear.
