10 things.....

The other day, a friend was telling me about another friend's offensive facebook post. [This, dear people, is why I choose to stay relatively unconnected. Blogging is my first step into that realm, and I think I will stay here, where the water is shallow, and no one can find me. ] She told me that said facebook-er had a '10 Things I wish I could say to 10 people right now' list, and she was guessing which slightly offensive comments were directed at her.

You see what I mean, about delightfully unconnected? My biggest fear is that if I were to create a facebook/myspace, comments would be taken out of context, my BMA friends would mix with my home friends, and said home friends would be upset when people left comments directed to 'dani' or 'steevo' when to them, I am 'della', or 'dee' (no joke, people have gotten upset about it before.) I've told them that I am the girl with a thousand names, that I am something different to each person I connect with, that they don't necessarily see me the same way others do, but it is to no avail. They claim to hear me, but nothing changes- go figure. If that didn't happen, people who I don't necessarily want to know what is going on in my life would find out (I know there are privacy options, but people talk) and soon the whole world would be in my business. I have a very private family life, and I can't afford for people to be up in my business...not if I don't want to hear about it forever.

But, as far as Miss Offensive's list went - it seems like a pretty good idea. So, without further ado.....

1. Your boyfriend is an asshole- we all think so.
2. I'm sorry I never appreciated all the love you gave, I was such a bitch.
3. Your child's behavior is above my paygrade.
4. I am not that girl - I never was.
5. I liked you better before you became a Christian.
6. I am terrified that one day you will realize that not all of my damage can be fixed.
7. I am sick of trying to resecitate our friendship - would you mind trying, for once?
8. She left us because we were assholes. Maybe if we stopped being assholes, she would feel inclined to visit.
9. You don't have to take every piece of child-rearing advice your mother gives you - she didn't do that great of a job with you.
10. You are not a failure, you are one of the greatest thing that has ever happened to me.



Some of these are pretty bitchy, and number 4 is directed to a group of people, but I think this could prove a better means of journal-keeping than my terrible method of trying to remember to write every 2 weeks.

I will maybe probably possibly write later tonight, because tommorrow I don't have work 'til 3!....
