For the sake of saying, just because I've been seeing something of a backlash on my friends-list, from people I'm very fond of.

I don't care if people like things I don't like, or don't like things that I do like. I barely watch any anime, unlike most of my friends, and I also don't care to see "Lost," unlike pretty much everyone I know. When people post about those things, I scroll past - no harm, no foul.


Major edit: Yeah, this is me completely blanking out the rest of that entry, because it was me being neurotic. Ignore, ignore. No offense was intended to well-meaning friends, some perfectly normal stuff just got blown out of proportion because of things that have happened in the past.

Okay, I shouldn't have to say this, but I think you know that if I had any issue with you or what you post, I'd say something. And I find this post pretty offensive, since you touched on all the points I've made in recent entries, and you didn't just pop me off an email.

Yeah, I'm sick and tired of seeing un-cut massive images that fuck up my layout, giant bold letter entries that take off half my page, posts that pretty much say 'you can't be a true fan of such and such genre without liking this thing' and actually having people attack me in friends journals for voicing my own opinion, and calling me an idiot. So yes, I'm going to post and complain about that. Because I don't think anyone has that right when I'm polite and civil about things, and it pisses me off. I complain about shitty fans who have no consideration, that's all.

I don't want to sound harsh, but I think you're taking things way too personally.

I said right out that I was probably taking it too personally, and you're right that I probably should have dealt with it in private. Honestly, it was largely a matter of interaction with someone totally different that was bubbling up because of all this, and I got a bit off-kilter because of my usual tendency to be neurotic. *Hugs*

Didn't mean to be crazy, it's just stuff stewing too long, I think...

If I added to this, I certainly didn't mean to. I was legitimately curious about what people on my flist thought. When I mentioned all the hype about it I wasn't just referring to things I've seen online. It's everywhere. On tv, in magazines. Everywhere I look I see stuff about it. I'm not trying to upset or offend anyone...I was just curious.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

It's okay. I was just feeling neurotic about cross-fandom stuff, I think. I need to edit this whole post, honestly, since it just comes off as totally... yeah. Don't worry about it.

Huh.
I had no idea you had zero interest in Lost as well. Count me as the other person who hasn't seen it (FWIW I've not seen 'Survivor' either)

And I also know I didn't add to the whatever it is happened.

But what I do know is that I just opened a double bottle of em>montecupliano d'abruzzo and you should come have some cuz it's way tasty.

I promise we won't watch "Lost". Or "Survivor."

But I am watching "Office Space."

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it's a great series, since the people I've heard rave about it generally have really good taste, I just have no desire to watch TV right now, let alone get sucked into a whole series.

Nobody really did, honestly, it basically boiled down to me reacting to small stuff recently because of big stuff in the past. Stupid, and I blame getting little sleep lately. I have no idea what that is, but I'm presuming it's alcohol, and that definitely sounds good. Too bad any form of alcohol will just make my recent problems with waking up on time worse than ever. ;)

"Office Space" is a fun movie. It's been far too long since I've seen it.

montecumplianno d'abbruzzo is a grape varietal. Wine, baby!

Come n get it. It's soooooooo tasty.

And if you'r eworried about getting up for work on time, if you pass out I'll put you in the shower and turn the water on at 5:30. no worries.


mmmmmm wine wine wine wine winey gooooooooooooodnessssssssssssssss

Eh, I'm with you, I think. We like what we like. Some people juggle geese.

I like anime and "Lost," but we still somehow manage to get along.

There is nothing quite like not liking or merely liking something your friends love.

This is the danger of the internet. People's extremely singular passions come out in ways they would never imagine in the physical world.

I don't really like many things that most of my friends enjoy and conversely they don't understand the things that are important to me. I guess the only to say is focus on the stuff you have in common and tread lightly.

I'm glad my friends don't really read my blog or at least get upset by it. I write some pretty horrible things in it. Usually nothing specific, but occasionally I overstep the boundaries of good taste and rationality. I'm glad nobody mentions it. ;)
