The Just Thought I'd Share Thread

[vivfox]

Bee, I get frustrated when I come into this thread and discover several deleted messages from you. It happens quite often. I mean really, why post so many statements you are going to get rid of? Sometimes I wish I had those mod powers so I could read what you wrote even after its glitter faded.

Yeah, geographically, Queens and Brooklyn are on Long Island, but government-wise (and in general usage) they're not "part" of LI. Although people in Queens are far more likely to go shopping on LI than, say, people in Manhattan.

Jones Beach is in Nassau County (hence the complaints when that's the only "NY area" show by any band).

I am the procrastination queen today. Back to work tomorrow after a week off. When I finished last Friday I was convinced that over half term I would be organised and get all my marking done. Has that happened? Of course not. I have had a lovely week off which has involved very little work. Today was supposed to be my marking day and it hasn't happened. Instead I have been:

• eating
• drinking copious amounts of tea
• tumblr
• browsing threads on here that I've read many times before
• drooling over Lindsey in the photo thread
• tumblr
• eating some more
• listening to FM/Stevie on repeat
• cleaning (even though I hate cleaning)
• more tea

Tomorrow I will regret this

Apparently I'm condescending and profane because I told this so called Celebrity (through PM) that she had been rude for deleting a message I left within a discussion that she took a dislike to. I didn't mind the deleting, as I told her (The only reason she disliked was because it had the sh1t word in it, in reference to Justin Bieber. Fine. She doesn't enjoy bad language on her own wall. That's fair enough). What I did mind was the fact that she said nothing about it to me to say "Hey. I don't really like this on my wall. I'm going to remove it if that's okay. Thank you for understanding", rather leaving a rude comment on the wall after removing it. I told her straight that it was a rude thing to do and that there are ways and means of tackling the issue without being so hostile, but I'm now I'm on her naughty list and off of her friend's. Am I upset by this? Not particularly. I just find it funny how some so called "celebrities" use their status as a hall pass to be rude, ignorant to their own faults and downright unpleasant.

Maybe once a month, I will delete things from my wall, that friends have left there. I'm a reasonably private person, and when they post things that are too personal, or controversial, I will delete them. Actually, I usually leave them for a few hours, in case they're checking for responses, but will delete it soon.
I have friends who are extremely liberal, as well as friends who are extremely conservative, and I just try to be inoffensive to all. It's just how I am. I've never heard, "Oh, you deleted my comment", so my timing must be spot on!

It's not the fact that deleted it. That I was okay with because then I found out why because they explained (albeit in a hostile manner). It's just the sheer rudeness with which they responded that got me. I can let a lot of things go. But needless rudeness and hostility isn't one of them.

I agree with that. And a couple of times that I've deleted things, I've messaged my friend, and explained why I deleted their comment.

And I'm sure they appreciate it. It isn't much to ask, after all. Just a friendly acknowledgement that even though you've deleted a comment you still care what somebody has to say.

Really though, just making an observation...

Sometimes I don't like what i post or how I word things, so i delete it! Sometimes I can be very nasty and very opinionated.

All I know is that students who come here for school from ANYWHERE in the NYC area refer to "The City" as if everyone in the world must know it's NEW YORK city they're referring to. Yeah, we don't really care about The City here.

Also of note: Many people think that NYC is close to every other city in New York State. No. the state is HUGE - Buffalo is a 7 hour drive from NYC, for example.

JTIS...

That I really enjoy work at the salon...but I get really nervous and anxious about it like EVERYDAY! I dont want to **** anyones hair up or do something wrong =\ I know its all about the learning process asking questions and stuff....but I feel like I'd annoy my boss if I asked her so many questions...

This week will probably be wicked busy since schools have this week off and the salon is doing some "hairpalooza" where you get a $7.99 haircut for new clients.
