*sigh*

Well, my sister's getting married today. I just got off the phone with her. Wishing her joy and sending hugs and kisses. I wish I could be there. *sigh*

My brother, the poopiehead, showed up there yesterday completely out of the blue. Startled everyone, apparently. My uncle Juan picked him up at the airport, and just outside their town, my bro jumped into the trunk. Then when they arrived at the house, Uncle J told everyone he had the wedding present in the trunk but it was too big for him to lift so they had to help out. And when they were all at the car, he opened the trunk and my bro jumped out! Lots of laughs and tears, apparently.

Damn. I'd have given anything to be in that trunk with him. *sniff*

I sure do love my sis. If Mr. Hobbit ever makes her unhappy, I'll play jumprope with his guts, I swear.

But I'm happy for her.

*sigh*

OH, give me a fucking break

I don't get involved in this sort of thing much anymore, but I'm really just too amused to sit still.

For those of you running around acting all puffed-up and proud of your "detective skills"...


GROW UP.


You created a tempest in a teapot and pissed off or upset a bunch of people, just to stroke your own egos and make yourselves look good. Well, you might look good in a mirror, but to most of us, you look like a bunch of bitchy gossip queens. Bully for you. *rolls eyes*


In case you want to say anything, I'll be over here in the Adult Section. Don't forget to take your milk and cookies before your nap.


ETA: I've enabled anonymous commenting for this post, because I've got a nice big tub of fresh popcorn popping. So please, feel free to entertain us.

A note on something I should have mentioned before.

LJ has lots of little ins and outs that are very convenient to its users. There's one I want to comment on here.

It's convenient to use the commenting as a kind of substitute email function. You know, comment on a post and then delete the comment, so that the poster gets the comment in an email. Many people use this, either as a way to send a quick message or a way to shoot under the radar, as it were.

DON'T DO IT HERE.

As far as I'm concerned, that is chickenshit behavior. My email is listed on my userinfo page. This LJ is a paid account anyway, so if you can't find the addy, just send an email to serai1 aaat livejournal dawt com. But don't be using that underhanded comment-then-delete crap. Because I find it annoying and cowardly.

Either say what you want to say openly on my LJ or say it through email. You won't impress me by pulling this sort of subterfuge. Accidents are one thing, but if you can't find the courage of your convictions, you won't get anything like respect from me. And I'll just delete the LJ email and roll my eyes.

And take a moment to think before you post, eh?


ETA: As a PSA, I'd like to add that if anybody uses the comment-and-delete as a way to flame me over anything, I'll promptly post a screencap of the LJ notification email. Because you do not get to play that game in my yard. Capice?

Aaaaaand we're off!

It seems the defriending has commenced. *checks watch* Wow, that didn't take long!

Oh my poor little heart is broken! *sob*


Christ in a sidecar. How pathetic. But you know what gets me? That some people can come off sounding so intelligent and yet not have the brains to know when they're hobnobbing with...well, somebody not totally savory, shall we say.

I don't give a rat's ass about sock puppets, myself. Nobody on the net is ever fully who they seem to be, so why get bent out of shape about it? As far as I'm concerned, behavior is what counts. And when I look at the resultant kerfuffle over the last couple of weeks, it's pretty clear whose behavior merits credit, and whose doesn't. So don't think I'm gonna cry over anybody siding with such folks and defriending me. Cause I'm actually just laughing my ASS off.
