From Diane Setterfield's The Thirteenth Tale

People disappear when they die. Their voices, their laughter, the warmth of their breath. Their flesh. Eventually their bones. All living mempry of them ceases. This is both dreadful and natural. Yet for some there is an exception to this annihilation. For in the books they write they continut to exist. We can rediscover them. Their humour, their tone of voice, their moods. Through the written word they can anger you or make you happy. They can comfort you. They can perplex you. They can alter you. All this, even though they are dead. Like flies in amber, like corpses frozen in ice, that which according to the laws of nature should pass away is, by the miracle of ink on paper, preserved. It is a kind of magic.

Ranting and Raving

I have much on my mind... but I know of the people who read this many of them already have a low opinion of me...
so
I guess whatever I write won't change their opinion...
huh.
This is to those particular people.
You Fetching Jerks.


I kinda like that when I started writing a blog no one cared and I could write what I wanted and figure out how I felt and what I meant while I wrote. Censoring it all is really a drag. Part of me is glad that those particular people figured out that they didn't like me from the blog, but the farce that they DO like me is tedious at best. Just man up and admit that you don't like me based on what you read. OR. Man up and admit that you don't want to get to know me. Please don't fake it. Please don't pretend. And for GOODNESS SAKE please don't tell other people how crappy a person you think I am IN FRONT OF ME!!!
Fetching Jerks.
Did you think I wasn't listening?!?

#1 - You're an AWESOME person! People looking down on you is the pits. And they are jerks. And although this may not help - It's too bad for them that they can't get over whatever is bugging them. Their lives aren't happier for it. Don't let it get you down. Venting is GREAT! I just hope it doesn't wear down the awesome Arren that I know...

(sorry I don't comment much)

#2 - I totally agree with you on the blog being a place to figure things out as you write. That is EXACTLY how I've been feeling as well. Thus my posts have been more sporadic because I know so many people will read them. Kind of a bummer because writing really helps me.

#3 - Know you're loved. ;)

This helped me a lot the other day.

OK, I'm wondering right now who would do something like that... and how to defend my homette. Post a link to their blog so we can flame them!

As everyone else has said, you are awesome and whoever says different is a complete and total idiot tool!
