Third time changing this entry :)

This WAS a drama filled post about why this journal became friends only but after talking to person in question I realized that I might have jumped the gun so changed it just in case I did.  I will stick to my plan to keep journal friends only just in case my open journal entries were adding fuel to a fire.  And

Comments

You know, I wasn't going to comment on this since I don't actually have a journal of my own, so I don't get the whole "friends-cut" concept (I'm guessing it makes your journal private?) but to be honest, you have said things in the past that are pretty offensive, even if you don't realize it. There was an entry about Dancing with the Stars where you glibly mentioned that someone might "convert you to overweight girls" I read awhile ago (while looking for the latest 24 dish). Do you have any idea how rude and ignorant that made you sound? I frankly was offended, and I'm not even your friend! That and the gay-bashing made me pretty uncomfortable reading your journal, which is why I stopped commenting for awhile. But I digress

I'm glad you commented!!!

See now you spread light on why I've lost some friends :) I wouldn't have known otherwise. I realize the gay entry might not suit people's tastes but I didn't go into detail. I didn't realize the comment I made about Dancing With The Stars was thoughtless and I admit right off...sometimes my mouth does run away with me. I will try to be more careful in the future. My problem has always been discretion. It's easier to change if someone tells me though...the problem I've been having is that no one TELLS ME

(((((hugs))))) I can't imagine why anyone would defriend you. You're so sweet and thoughtful. I'm here for the long haul, even if you are a Democrat. :-P

awww thanks!!

I love reading your journal. It's like a nice warm mug of hot chocolate on a cold winter day. You also make me laugh :)

I'm registered Republican but somehow have fallen in love with Obama. Right now he's the most charismatic! But I am going to a Ronald Reagan dinner on Sat where Elizabeth Dole will be the guest speaker. SEE! I DO have Republican roots!

I'm sorry about that. Why don't you make your journal friends only?

It is now ^_^

[ladyofavalon77]

I think this will work out so much better :) The comment of the first poster was VERY helpful. I didn't realize I was so careless with my thoughts :) I'm going to try to be more careful :) Thanks for replying *hugs*

Re: It is now ^_^

[agent00]

No problem! Ohhh and just for you know, I never felt offended by your posts. ever! :) *hugs back*

Re: It is now ^_^

[ladyofavalon77]

You know, this is your LJ, so you should not have to worry about what others think. If they don't like it, they should leave.

that is EXACTLY what I was going to say.

*hugs you both*

[ladyofavalon77]

You guys really made my day. Thank you so much :D

You're very wise!

[ladyofavalon77]

I talked to one of the persons in question and that's what they said. This being my first LJ I took the friends list kind of seriously. It ended up being a misunderstanding on both our ends so we left the issue amicably.

I still have a lot of growing up to do and this was a good lesson to be learned. I need to not take things so seriously. Good points about not posting much and different fandoms and I'm glad you liked my entries :) Your words were just what I needed to feel better :) *hugs*

[blessing]

Hi! I think this is the one you meant. Not too sure! ;P It was the only I saw mentioning "friends only". I went ahead and added you!

[ladyofavalon77]

That's it :) I friended you back :)
