[public] Comment to be added.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, this journal has become "friends-only." That means if you want to read it, you must have a livejournal. If you are not already on my friends list and want to be, please comment here and I'll see about adding you.

Sorry to those who don't have Livejournals and read this. But remember, getting an LJ is free now.





Please note: If you cannot handle my posting my thoughts in my locked journal, you can get the hell out, you don't belong. Got it? Good.

You MUST agree to the following ground rules before you are added.

1. Most importantly, my journal is locked for a reason. There are people who cannot handle what's in my journal, or they don't mesh well with my processing methods. If they are NOT added, that means that the stuff on here shouldn't be shared with them.
   
2. I have the right to my own feelings: I will not accept anyone saying I "should not" or even worse, "do not" feel a certain way. No one has that right, and I will not accept anyone criticizing my feelings. It's my journal, and I have control over it. If I feel a certain way and that bothers you, move. fucking. on.
   
3. Release: I use my journal for release sometimes. It's like a catharsis. I will rant and be weird and get angry, but I don't do it for attention. While I do talk to my friends, this is where I really discourse and dramatize as I need to. Blocking people out, while I do do it, leaves my life feeling empty. But I am choosing who I do let in. If you don't want to read it, DON'T.
   
4. Comments: Feel free to comment, but I don't require it. This does not mean criticism. Sympathy is fine when freely and sincerely given, but it's not required. And I won't have you require it of me. If you want someone who is going to comment on every entry, you aren't going to find that here. Mostly, I like actual feedback, not just, "Awww, *hugs*" and the like. Exception: my journal is not the proper place to "knock some sense into me". You can do that in person. I'll knock something else into you.
   
5. No soap boxes: In other words, get the fuck over yourself when you're in my journal. If you have a problem with something I say, keep it to yourself, unless it is a correction of something inaccurate, or something that actually hurts you or someone else reading, or is uncalled for with respect to someone else. Everyone here is a grown adult and can choose not to read or comment if they so choose.

"Da rules" inspired by and borrowed from little_ribbit who articulated similar feelings to mine very well.
