Why cant we be friends, why cant we be friends

To begin, let me say that I say all of this without a trace of irony. Im making no jokes in this blog, although I may have a happy attitude while writing it.

Ok, as much as Ive stayed on the sidelines, I cant allow this to go on any longer. Something has been going on lately, amongst people that say they are friends, and it doesnt piss me off (like everything else in the world). It has just reached the point where I feel nothing but amusement, a dark hilarity where I can sit back and watch a bunch of friends get catty and say things they may really mean. Good for you guys. As a child of divorce, I cant stand to stand by with all this stupid tension.

Some of you may have heard me say before that I feel like I can be an open book on my blog. I come here to talk about me, basically, and on occasion to throw out congrats and various kudos to my friends. I have never deleted a post, nor will I delete a comment. This Blog is like the free speech area in a college. You wont see me censoring anything. (The only reason I refer to people in code is because they request, and also because its kinda cool, like we're spys or something.)Now, some people are different. They dont want to have hateful things on their blog, where they will see them everyday to bring up old hurts. I can understand that. Others like to comment on OTHERS blogs, to leave sometimes scathing insults, sometimes funny anecdotes, and sometimes comments about themselves. I suppose I can understand that, too. (Yes, even the scathing insults. I hate lotsa people too, even though my newfound-friend God teaches against it.) These are all things I LOVE about blogs, and accept as the way the world works.

What I dont accept is how some of you guys can have a double standard. YOU can post hateful immature things in your blogs, but get furious when someone else does it. Its upsetting to me, personally, that someone who claims to be "over it" and "moving on" has made comments to the contrary two days ago. Its upsetting to me that I know everyone involved, and I can see where the whole situation became a schoolgirl catfight. Its MOST upsetting to me that I question myself as to whether or not I should stick up for my friends when another one of my "friends" is insulting them to the point where I get angry and depressed.

Well, no more.

From now on, I will do my best to speak out when someone is being an ass. Frecklehead, I dont know what set you off today, but, even though some may tell you it was ill-advised (some parts I agree), I think you are right to let loose with your feelings on your blog. Your blog is your personal diary. Other people can read it and comment, but its still yours. Never forget that.

"Anonymous", or whatever you wish to be called. I repsect your right to comment on someone's blog. Lord knows I do. But its rather petty to call someone immature then make fun of her hair. Also to make comments on someone's character while refusing to let your own name be known.

But hey, whatever you guys wanna do, you do it. I cant/wont stop you. My only admonition is for everyone to pay attention to what they are doing. Who will feel better by this post/comment? Who will be hurt? Who will read this comment and join you in your corner? Who will join the other person? Who will not care? I know it seems like Im in one person's specific corner this time, but hey, dem's the breaks.

I will try to keep the preachyness down to a minimum from now on.

PS: If anyone would like to comment on me personally, I recommend using either my weight, my immaturity and obnoxiousness, or my funny teeth. Everything else Im happy with.

Oh and by the way......"You're boyfriend's gay"? That's like telling someone that the car they drove to work today doesn't run. If it didnt, it wouldn't be the car I drove to work in.

Grow up, assholes.
