Apparently, being grumpy cheers me up. Woot!
Here's my observation of the day:
I love getting comments. I love when people read the blog. I love when newcomers stop by and say "Hey." If they like what I write or feel compelled to share a similar story (or one completely off the subject... I'm not picky!), that's cool. I'm totally cool with that. I'm all for intelligent discussion, expounding and deliberating issues where people don't always agree... emphasis on the word, "intelligent." People aren't going to agree about everything, and agreeing to disagree is just fine with me.
What I don't like is when someone stops by to leave a comment and is nasty about what was written. Or leaves some comment that slams all the other comment-ers. If you don't like what you read, move on. I've done the "Next Blog" button a couple of times. In fact, that's how I found a few of my favorite "Cool Kids." If I happened upon one that I didn't like or whose contents shared opinions directly opposing mine... I left. I moved on. I didn't comment to tell those bloggers how stupid they are/were for feeling the way they do/did. I just moved on. No harm, no foul. I wouldn't just jump on someone's SPACE to slam them when I could just quietly leave...
So far, I don't think anyone has done that here. Someone did today over at Maliavale's place. I don't know what it is in me... but that really set me off. Enough to blog about it (I know, I know! I need a life).
So... what's my point? I truly enjoy reading all your blogs. You're all fun and different in your own way. And if anyone jumps in your space to badmouth you, your interests, your writing... I've got your back. I'm there. I'll strike back with all the venom I have (it may not be much, but I'll spew it anyway). So that's my story today. Yeah. I'm done ranting now. Thanks for listening.

Why, Kim... whatever are you talking about? I don't see two posts. ;-)
Thanks for catching the mistake. Still have no idea how it happened. And there will be no ass-kicking today. TODAY. I can't promise anything for tomorrow.
I'm with you, MPB... I just don't understand why some people actually spend time churning out hatred or insults to PEOPLE THEY DON'T KNOW. I always say that I need a life... but these people literally do.
Is it OK to say that I'm just happy you posted a new entry and pushed that freaky ass picture of the dead OC girl further down? I'm ashamed to say how much that scene terrified me. I have a thing about little girl ghosts. As many of us would, I imagine.
Anything for you, red. I'm here to please.
Sorry, MPB. It's not coming up now... for some reason. It's Mischa Barton when she played the little dead girl ghost in The Sixth Sense. You know... the one that puked in the red tent with Haley Joel.
'wouldn't dare arouse the ire of the grumpmeistress!
*Beams big warm fuzzy good vibes all round*
Alyssa: I won't kick your ass. Unless you're calling ME the crazy asshat. Then I'm TOTALLY kicking your ass.
red: the server isn't responding for me, so I can't see the picture. Maybe it's a sign that you can.... ?? ;-)
Thanks, rev!!!
MPB: Me, too. It would be nice if all the trivial crap I remember would make way for the really, truly useless stuff I am SUPPOSED to remember. ;-)
Excellent post! Yeah, I don't see the point of nastiness, either--seems to me to be people trying to make themselves feel better while making others feel bad. If I disagree with someone and feel a violent urge to say it, I'll say "Hey, what about..." But I don't get nasty. No point in that. It's just petty.
Luckily, though, I believe in karma :P
So do I, Gabrielle. What goes around comes around. Yay!
