A few things I want to address before I go to bed. Actually, there's something fairly serious I want to address, but that's going to be the subject of a later post. The stuff I'm addressing now is mostly to let people know I've heard them.

There have been a few opinions voiced (and perhaps there are similar, unvoiced, opinions out there) about that post making me (paraphrased) untrustworthy, questionable as a friend. I'm not ignoring these comments, but it's not something I feel I can focus on right now. In the end, I don't want to coerce anyone into being, or remaining, my friend, on any level. I'd miss the friendship, to be sure. Don't take my lack of reaction as apathy. But I need to work on my own shit right now.

I appreciate the viewpoints I've gotten. Some of the comments to my posts were kinda flame-y. I tend not to respond to flame-y comments in my LJ in kind (sorry, bulwerk), especially if the flames aren't directed at me. Whatever wars go on in my comments section, I leave to those commenting. I'm not a referee, even if my LJ ends up being the arena. I'll probably talk to some of you later, perhaps on IM, as the mood strikes me. Again, I'm still assimilating the whole thing. But thanks to all of you, regardless of your viewpoint and content.

Can't think of anything more to say right now, which makes me wonder if I'm missing something. However, I've noticed how tired I truly am, which works out about right, given the time, and my schedule for tomorrow.

Good night, all.

Admit it, I made you laugh.

As your rants always do, my dear. :)

More in that looking at a bloody, flesh-like-spaghetti-sauce car wreck where you can't quite look away kinda way.

Or maybe more like horror flicks are amusing 'cause they're so over-the-top.

Anyway, yeah, I laughed. It was some much-needed levity to the situation. Even though I'm sure you meant what you said.

I meant what I said, but not in the over-the-top fashion. Friends do not attempt or threaten to "get even" or rub your nose in "shit" when you've offended them. The fact that Sakka did just that shows that she is not a friend.
