Famous last words.
OK, I get it. Maybe I didn't exercise my greatest judgement last night (maybe that is an understatement too.) As I said, I had just gotten home around 1:30 a.m. from a night of partying with my old partners in crime (literally, but that's another story), i.e., listening to our friends' band, drinking, dancing, etc. and was a little buzzed.

I've definately witnessed people fuck themselves up by being overly honest or a little too revealing here on the eplaya. Being a "blabbermouth" about interpersonal drama is a trait which, I admit, I am probably the poster child for. It seems to me though, that the way folks usually hurt those involved in their personal drama, when being overly honest here on the eplaya, is when the person being talked about is also on the eplaya, or is at least aware of its existence.

I also admit that I can be a sneaky little fucker and that I'm used to covering my tracks. I'll just have to make sure that I never, ever mention the word "eplaya" around those involved in my own personal dramas (although my ex- does know of eplaya's existence - I showed her all the "Youthful Indiscretions" postings last summer).

Also, if I end up bringing anyone involved in my interpersonal dramas with me to the M&G, I'll be handing out bribes (negotiable, of course) for all you mutherfuckers to keep your fucking mouths shut and, when introduced, not say something like, "Oh, is this the woman you posted about who..."

[Keeping my fingers crossed]

That said, i'd rather say what i said than what you said.

I just realised that actually sounded mean and judgemental. Wasn't meant to be. Just evil, y'know?

Oh yeah, the eplaya totally locked up on me last night around 2:20 a.m. EST. So, I tried hitting the "submit" button once, and then just left it and went to bed.

Also, I think from now on, I'll try using aliases for everyone involved, including myself.

"Hi eveyone! My real name is 'Harry Nutsack' It's a pleasure to meet you!"

I know, I confess, I actually was a bit mean talking about the "physical attributes" of my new ("lover"?, "friend with benefits"? "girlfriend"? [Uhh...no...I'm definately not ready to call her "my girlfriend"]).

Anyway, lesson learned...I need to keep my own fucking mouth shut.

There are so many times in the last few weeks I've wanted to spill the beans about my drama. It's ridiculous enough that it would make for a good laugh, at the least (already had the good cry on this end).

Of course, the main people around which the drama centers both know of my eplaya addiction. And I'm convinced that the one who is farther away isn't beyond checking up. Which is fine; it's a public board.

It's when people read my letters that i get really annoyed.

um, yeah. i had already had to lay some smack down re: reading my poetry - which is a lot like a journal, and i'm really anal because what i have laying around is unedited.

i had left the person in question in my apartment. i ran back because i forgot something, only to find said person reading a letter from one of my best friends who's over in Iraq. I don't know why i didn't do some ass kicking right there. I think i was in shock.

i'm sorry, hon, i didn't mean it that way.

i understand. one big difference though - you owned up to it, all on your own.
despite the fact that the original action might not have been particularly admirable, you came clean all on your own.

i think it's wise to forgive yourself. we all fuck up. you've tried to make things better. you can resolve not to repeat the action another time. and you can let yourself go.

i think you've been punished enough, and part of that is what you're doing to yourself.

bullD - i'd say yes.

morning all!

so, the eplaya choking on itself last night was a bit much for me, really...

but today is another day!

Lydia: i second what Rian said: you ADMITTED what you did, admitted you were wrong, apologized for it, etc. All very mature and respectable. Don't keep beating yourself up over it...

anyway, I still love ya!

mwah!

coffee please?? Do we have any, or do I have to make some??

it's weird. i tend to be really trustworthy when trusted, not as much otherwise.

in this situation, i didn't feed it at all.
but it's a worthy question.
