My Friends List

Friends list has gotten out of control. I see that everyone's has. Tons of friends to get stats up but not even a "hello".
Pissing me off more today?? The people in my friend's list that I don't even RECOGNIZE their names. I look...and it's a new profile owner...or a name change...or whatever...since I show I never rated them. So?? I'll re-rate you and remove you from my friend's list.
I think it bites ass that people get on here and get gifted profiles and don't have to work their way up like it was intended. If you get someone else's profile?? You should probably contact the people on the friend's list just to advise them and see if they want to remain there.
Fuck it. They don't wanna bother?? Then I'm certainly not going to bother messaging them and asking who the FUCK they are.
End rant.
Another Day Sucks

So...I go to my neighbor's house. I dye her hair for her. While she's showering and then driving to pick the kids up from school, I do over a WEEK'S worth of her dishes...piled up on the stove, in the oven, in a broken dishwasher, up in the bathtub, over counters, tables and floor space. 2 HOURS of washing dishes to be precise (some shit was really dried and caked on pretty good since she had no water in her place for a few weeks..sigh).
What do I come home to?? A message from the kids' school. I need to write a letter of apology to a 10 yr old girl. I apparently have threatened to beat her up.
Hmmmm.... I have NO idea who this girl is: not what she looks like, not what her name is...I didn't even know her age or grade until my twins spoke up. Apparently...she is Sierra. Apparently she in their 5th grade class.
Apparently, she was in homework detention with the twins 2 weeks ago. When I picked my kids up on Friday, she and another child walked me to the area where the kids wait to be picked up. She proudly says to me: I did all my homework! No detention this week OR next week.
At that point, I realized she had been in detention with the twins the week before. I tell her that's great and then said: Let me tell you...I've told the twins I'm cracking down the whip. If I have to go and pick them up at detention?? I'm gonna smack 'em up side the head!
She giggles and tells me how good she's been with homework. I see the boys..I leave.
At some point, this became her telling her parents and the school that I told her if she forgets to do her homework, I'll find her and slap her across the face.
Ummm....WTF?
Even moreso?? WTH is the school leaving a msg with my daughter saying: Your mother needs to write a letter of apology to this girl (no name) because she threatened her.
Huh?? Do you not even ASK an adult what happened before demanding an apology be written to a child?? I mean..really??
The original letter started out:
Dear Little Girl who was in Detention 2 Weeks ago with Liam and Hunter and her Parents:
Then the twins said the girl was Sierra but that they had heard NOTHING about this from Sierra or the teacher so they aren't sure it's the same girl. They asked if she has shoulder length brown hair. I don't even know.
But apparently, I have enough venom in my heart for this little child that I've threatened her.
Like they're going to believe me when I tell them I didn't threaten the kid. Isn't that what EVERYONE would say?
Punched In the Gut

Ever feel a connection, a kinship, a friendship with someone you've never known..never met? A stupid online relationship.
I've always taken them for what they were..you never know who is on the other side of the screen: what their real dreams are; fears are; lives are.
It's been more than a month. I still feel like I've been punched in the gut whenever I see one of her profiles; or reread that second to last msg from her. I had to delete the last one...it was so gut wrenchingly humiliating and painful for me.
I hate that we aren't..that which we were. And I wonder: were we ever there really anyways?
Does illness and depression and agoraphobia and Christianity build a wall that prevents anyone from breaking through?
In trying to be a friend; to be understanding; to try and help...did I become something overbearing and loathesome?
I know you'll never read this. I know you could care less as you've gone flitting off to one of your many lives. But in case you do? I do miss you but will acquiesce to your wishes to never darken your doorstep again.

Certainly a justifiable rant, I agree. I for one am on 229 friends' lists, and I can guarantee you I talk to about 1/10 of that number, if that.
As far as the gifted profiles, I also agree that the least they could do is let you know- but that is the majot reason why I go through my list about twice a year and "clean house"- if I haven't talked to them or them to me in that length of time, I don't want them cluttering up my space. If they gifted the profile, they can damn well let me know, or suffer the consequences...

lol. Its more confuesing but some people can figure it out sooner or later.
Nice rant but I think that when I had a gifted profile, I just let people take me off and started all over again as if it as a new profile.
By the way, Hello. :P

I ended up getting profiles from friends that left so I gave them to other friends... They end up not liking the site and I get the profiles back. *sighs* I have my two profiles plus the gag penguin profile now. The other 3 profiles that were given to me belong to Amy, Amanda, and Alex... Weird... I only just now realized that all their names start with A..... Wow.... *laughs*

I just figure that I didn't AGREE to put these people on my friends' list. They aren't the person I agreed to click that button..whether I speak to them or not. The ones I don't talk to on this behemoth of a list, were added because they requested it or had a love me post or something.
Seriously...in reality?? If you are my friend? Come into my home and have a coffee. But if I come in the house and there is a stranger sitting at my table having a coffee?? At least KNOCK first. Introduce yourself.
I have only had about 3 people identify that they were new to the profile and to re-rate and add and I've done so without question. The rest?? Fuck them :) I think you're right, Red...it's time for me to clean house.
