Snark Is Not My StrongSuit Nor Do I Want To Be known For It
*Edited to Add* I just deleted the post. NOT. WORTH. THE. HEADACHE.
I could go back and retract the post that I wrote 2 days ago but being the “big girl” that I am, I won’t. I feel like it needs to remain where it is to remind me that even I am not perfect (imagine that).
Getting the negative comment that I did from my previous post also reiterated what I have long thought about blogging…and is one of the many reasons why I have went back and forth on personal blogging especially since we’ve moved back to a small town. The problem with blogging snippets of your life is that your thoughts are often misconstrued. They don’t always come out the way you truly mean them, and they are always open to interpretation based on the other person’s feelings. If I were posting anonymously it simply wouldn’t matter what I wrote but in a small town where someone may simply not “get” blogging I guess ultimately it does matter. I wrote a little about this issue back in January
Obviously you can’t be more blatant than I was in my last post. I was being general but at the same time I was being stereotypical. I knew that going in. Actually, my previous post stemmed from a few incidents that happened weeks ago. And, I purposely generalized my feelings so that no one would know who or what I was referring to. Obviously you and I both know that everyone is NOT like what I wrote. It was just a way for me to vent…a way for me to get my feelings out there. Because I can’t say it in real life. Anyway, I am allowed to do that here. And, what I feel and write won’t always please everyone.
If you’ve ever read past the first page of this blog you’d know that my last post was out of character. I’m not a bitch. I’m not a hater. I’m not holier than thou. I just blurted something out. We are all guilty of that.
Of course I did mention this one thing where I said I hope the ice cream man gets the swine flu. That of course was another attempt at snark and sarcasm…which apparently doesn’t work in my favor.
P.S. I heart my real neighbors but I think they know that already.
P.S.S Despite my previous slip, I really do love my home. More importantly, I love that my children and my husband love our home, our community. I couldn’t be happier. Who am I kidding? I could be happier if I lived on the beach and had a maid + a personal chef.
No one’s going to argue with that one, right?
P.S.S.S Don’t you just hate it when someone else is right? Thanks for pushing me off of my high horse.
