I am just going to put this out there so that it is known to everyone on the site. I read EVERYONE'S journal. No one member is so special that they are the only journal I give attention to. If you have made a journal entry, I will show up on your last 10, unless I am traveling and not online. It means nothing more, than I read what was on your mind. Occasionally I will comment, if I have something to say but more often I will not.
Reading a journal is not a form of stalking. Journals on Vampire Rave are meant to be read otherwise they are made private or encrypted by the poster. If any member of the site finds having their journal read to be a form of harassment or stalking, perhaps not creating one for the public to read would better ease their mind.
If I have read your journal and it puts you ill at ease, just know that if you are not guilty of any wrong doings on Vampire Rave there is no reason to be worried. I, just as so many of you, simply enjoy reading what everyone has to say.
This journal entry has been created just to make sure the truth is clear and known to everyone, and to leave no confusion or room for falsehoods.

I had that absolute most wonderful visit to NOLA! I have never felt so at home in a place that was not home. I honestly hated to leave. I will absolutely be going back!
*salt and peppers Stabbys eggs and pours and stirs creamer in his coffee"
Seriously... what an amazing 4 days!

Mmm NOLA food
YES! If you've never been to Deanies... a must go to when you visit next. We sat here tonight attempting to figure out what we wanted for dinner, and nothing sounded good anymore! LOL! I told my husband we should just jump back in the car and go back. lol.
I am obsessed with the coffee from Cafe Du Monde now as well.
I cannot wait! Sounds amazing!!
Y'all can be my wingman any time! ;)
Sounds like a great plan Stabby! I'll make sure to be the voice of reason when needed, salt and pepper your eggs to perfection and 4 creamers in your coffee!
(bad monty paraphrase incoming...)
Then shalt thou count to four, no more, no less. Four shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be four. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou three, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Five is right out. Once the number four, being the fourth number, be reached, then thy coffee dost thou drinkest.
LOL! RUN AWWWWAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
We had to postpone our actual honeymoon (did a staycation-moon instead) but our plan is to go to NOLA for our honeymoon once we have the funds & time off saved up. Any suggestions on places & things to do once we do?
Oh absolutely! Better done through a message though.
Message away :)
I wish you all a safe, healthy and happy new year!

Kind of reminds me how one acts when they see a cop in their rearview mirror.

Exactly. You've stated it perfectly. We have to keep an eye on things, so we read the journals, we look at the profiles and the portfolios. It doesn't mean we are singling any one member out.

I'm a little lost... (fairly easy as of late)
Isn't the entire intent/purpose of a "public journal" is to have others read it?
To share one's thoughts, feelings?
I mean some rant on and on for YEARS of the same depressing drama, but mostly journal entries are little snippets into a person.
To be accused of "stalking" because someone reads a PUBLIC forum/profile/journal is mind baffling to me.
Fuck people forget this is a TEENY TINY place on the "world wide web" that most of the population doesn't even know exists...or frankly gives two fucks too
*shrugs*
I'm glad you've laid it out for those asshats that don't "get it"
I always laugh at the amount of drama this little VR space includes.

Neowise: Yes, it does seem like that!
Immy: Absolutely. Even if I were not an admin, I would still read journals just to see the glimpse into others lives we are being granted to view.
Ab: You goober! LOL! :p
queenofchaos: That is how I know it to be. Why make a journal if you do not wish to have it read? Yes, to be thought of as "stalking and harassing" for nothing more than reading a journal and not even commenting on it is mind boggling. It is what it is. I will keep reading journals, some are good reads. lol.

I wasn't aware stalkers filled out applications for the position. :p

It's funny because there's literally a stalking button on everyone's profile.

Yep! Sure is. As is the option to turn stalking off, which I personally have done. lol.

actually, knowing that you and others are reading my thoughts/journal entries, is what keeps me writing them. Because it doesn't feel like I'm putting them out into the ether to be ignored. So every time I see your name pop up in my last 10 for my journal, I smile.

YAY! Glad to hear that. It's good to know I can make you smile. :)
