To Katherine: Wow. With friends like you, who needs enemies. I thought you weren’t going to come back? Guess you needed to give it another kick eh? Did you read the newest entry? Do you not think I mean those apologies either? Well, doesn’t matter now. I have had things I wanted to say to you sometimes, but I held off. Because I considered you a good friend and a good person. I never was a good judge of character I guess. I hope you’ll have a nice life though. Oh, and those “pissants” who attack you? Imagine this situation had happened a month ago, with a different person and a different subject. I bet you would have been one of the first pissants to attack that person. I hope these pissants are more sincere then you would have been.
To everyone else: Thanks for the support. I really need it at the moment. I should warn you, though. Nothing’s really gonna change. I’ll wake up the same place and whine when I’m 40. So you might wanna cut your losses now.
At least I will have my martyrdom.

Plume, I don’t come here to join in on any pity parties – I have enough of those on my own. I do come here though to enjoy your photos and stories about the playground, which do make me happy. And if by chance I drop by your blog and you are feeling down or sad I will support you in anyway I can. I am not here to tear you apart (you know that). Opinions are good that is what makes us all different. But the fact of the matter is, that this is your blog and I really think people should respect what you have to say, that doesn’t mean they can’t have an opinion but I think the words here are “your blog” and “respect”. I find you to be a gentle and sensitive soul and if at 40 you are still whining, I will still be here (if fate has it) supporting you and helping you back on your feet. Always, just be yourself, even if others can’t accept that in you – you are a good person – remember that.

Plume, I dont mean to be offensive. But from looking at one of those pictures,
best judgement advices that you need to lose some weight ..
Is it all those sausages?
Start running every second day. It’s amazing how good it feels (afterwards)

When you’re 40 I’ll still be here regardless of if you are whining or not. I’ve stuck with you a long time hun and I feel like I have been through a large, important chunk of your life with you. So yeah, anytime you need support I will be here. I’ll also be here to cheer you on as you keep facing challenges and kicking their arse.

But why you do assume that what you do, that is, holding your tongue when you wanted say something to her that is something other than saacharine compliments devoid of real thought or meaning, must be the better thing to do? You say it as if it makes you the better person somehow. IMO it is at best, simply a difference in personality/ways of doing things. And at worst, i would say that some people are honest with themselves and with others, while others do not dare say things that could possibly be interpreted as less than “nice,” because god forbid, they give anyone excuse to dislike them.(when in fact, the only reason they would suspect that anyone would dislike them just because they said something less than 100% sickening fluffy pink hugzz is because that’s how they themselves would feel if anyone were to say that to them.)
Why would the fact that someone is a “good friend and a good person” prevent you from being honest with them? Wouldn’t the opposite be true, logically? If you consider them a good friend, why would you not give constructive criticism/offer them an alternative viewpoint than what they have? And if you consider them a good person, do you not trust them to at least have the moral decency to be able to take criticism from a friend instead of turning into a passive aggressive douchebag at the first hint that someone dares mumble a thought that challenges their own?
Do you really think that there are simply no truths to what anyone says if they say anything other say “googoogaga plume is such good boy”? I mean, on one hand you keep reiterating all this self-deprecating talk, and pretend to be all accepting and open about your personality flaws and shortcomings, but on the other hand, if someone actually offers you some criticism, some opinion that maybe they don’t really consider you perfect either, that maybe they see your faults too, somehow those people must just be out to get you and somehow they must hate you and somehow they must not have been either good friend or even have good character? Do you not see how it makes all your self-deprecating talk sound completely insincere and just fishing for compliments? (i.e. “i’m saying this not because I mean it, I don’t expect you to agree with ANY of this, I expect you to tell me how wrong I am, and what a good boy I really am and to stop being so negative with myself.) I even know what you’re gonna say. same old passive aggressive self-pity irresponsible bullshit “yes yes I AM selfish and whiney and such and such and never claimed to be anything but.” what kind of answer is that, do you really that that excuses anything? don’t you tink that after a certain point, simply admitting to something makes you more of a douchebag? “i know i have a problem with being a nazi and wanting to kill jews, never claimed to be anything else.” / “i know i like to drive drunk and beat my kids, i never claimed to be antyhing else.” huh?

Man, you’ve got some people with definite opinions on EVERYTHING. If it makes them feel important, well, Plume, let them. God knows we never would want them to be angry at you. Afterall, you must never whine for them or they won’t like you anymore.
You must do everything for them because they know so much. They know how you think; they know how you feel; they have the answers to all the problems you’ve ever had in your 28 years of living.
So just do what they say because you never want them to be angry at you. They know so much more than you do…
