April 14 Blog posts: interpretations and consequences.so im trying this new thing, being entirely honest with my friends about my feelings and opinions, so far, not working out so great. If you can't be honest with you friends then who can you be honest with?
It makes me wonder why people want you to be honest with people when the only thing it achieves if causing aggrevation and bad feeling between the people it is supposed to prevent bad feeling between. A lot has happened in the last month and I am confused by it all and in expressing my confusion i seem to have offended the one person i never intended on offending. Sorry Sam.
I wrote the message on my blogsite and i forgot that it got posted to facebook, nobody really reads my blog so I didn't expect it to be made so public, not that I am ashamed of what I said or was trying to hide my comments from anybody mentioned in the message below. I needed to air out my feelings, mostly so they made sense to me, so that i had the situation clear in my own head so that when Sam and i came to talk face to face there wasn't any confusion on my side and I knew what i wanted to say. Facebook messes everything up. Facebook is evil.
I do not understand why expressing my opinion on the situation has made me the bitch? I am entitled to it, im entitled to express it as well. I set out to make anybody sound like a bitch. I may have commented on the language in the message and that may not have been appropriate but that is the only aspect of my last post i am prepared to apologise for. If Helen wants to threaten me and insult my friends why should I not tell them? I have not, apart from the stab at her spelling, insulted Helen and I am not about to either, it would serve little purpose. I didn't blame anybody for anything, I didn't say anything that wasn't true in relation to the ins and outs of the holiday planning and any opinion that i gave was coupled with a comment such as, this may not be what was intended or I may be wrong.
I could sit here and analyse my own message, point out quotes of particular interest that back up my point that nothing in the message is directly insulting but what is the point? I said what i said, im not ashamed of what i said and i stand by it. If it is miscontrued as insulting then that is a reflection on the reader and not the author. If it is necessary I will go through it line by line with anybody who asks and reitorate what I have said in more userfriendly language. I set out to give an account of the comings and goings of the holiday planning, the changes, the confusions and if I happened to analyse them a little then why is that a bad thing since all blogs are subjective and editorial by nature. A few people have read the message now, two have said im a bitch for writing it, one has pointed out possible causes for negative interpretations, two have said I didn't say anything that I had no right to say. Im still open for critiques and comments.
As i said in my last message, Sam has me as a friend whether she likes it or not. If she is willing to accept that I was not intending to offend her and that Helen and I are not going to get on then we can move forward. Ball is in her court.
