once i ran to you; now i run from you.
Mar. 7th, 2008 04:01 pmok, so, i have 563576456 things i need to be doing, but i wanted to say this, so.
recently, several of my friends have been hurt/upset/whatever by things posted on assorted anonymemes going around. i personally cannot stand anonymous anything. i feel like if you're not willing to sign your name to something, why should i be willing to read it? don't be a coward and hide behind an anonymous comment; suck it up and put your name on it. if it's that important to you, fucking own it. if you're not going to do that, i can't bring myself to care and it's not worth my time.
admittedly, if someone chooses to participate in a "brutal honesty" meme or whatever, i guess it's a risk you have to be willing to take (however, at least one of my friends was bitchily attacked on that stupid bandom anonymeme, which, HATE). but i just don't GET IT. if you have a problem with someone that's your friend, talk to them. if you have a problem with someone who isn't your friend, ignore them. i realize that not everyone on the internet is by any means an adult, but there's no reason for people who are adults to behave like children. this should not be that complicated. focus on the things you enjoy, live and let live, et-fucking-cetera.
i think i've posted this song before, but i'm posting it again because it really sums up my philosophy on dealing with other people. a friend of mine included it on a mix years ago, and pointed out that although the song is about weed, she likes to look at it as a general outlook on how she lives her life, and it's something i can totally get behind. i'm by no means perfect (captain obvious at your services, bbs!) and sure, sometimes i bitch about people too, but for the most part this is how i try to live, and i think everyone could use a little dose of it.
ben harper - burn one down
also, if none of that does anything to get people to chill out and share the love and shit, here's a vibrator sale. maybe that'll help?

my choice is what i choose to do
and if i'm causin' no harm
it shouldn't bother you.
your choice is who you choose to be
and if you're causin' no harm
then you're all right with me.
if you don't like my fire
then don't come around
'cause i'm gonna burn one down
yes, i'm gonna burn one down.
