Jet Lag

Vacation was... intense.
Mostly because I was PMSing
And my grandma is spastic
Being excited and worried.

I swam, I shopped, I played
Hand and Food with my grandma.
I rode bikes, went on the swing,
read, wrote, and slept.

All in all, it was relaxing if not long.
Getting back was hard -
And just a whole other story -
but I'm just grateful that I am back.

  1. HI AMBER. I WOULD LIKE TO FIRST START OFF WITH AN APOLOGY TO YOU ON YOUR PERSONAL BLOG. I DIDN'T WANT TO RESPOND BACK TO YOU ON LISA'S BLOG. IT IS HER BLOG AFTER ALL..LOL.

    DID YOU READ HER RESPONSE BACK TO ME?

    "And listen, telling me all about how this god you believe in operates? It’s not going to convince me of anything except that you are a pushy, rude, judgmental ASSHOLE. I DON’T BELIEVE IN GOD. Got it? So telling me about God’s intentions is like banging your head against a wall, so why don’t you give that a shot instead? It will accomplish just as much. And while you’re at it, why don’t you try pulling your head out of your ass?".

    READING ALL OF THAT REALLY HURT ME TOO. I'M NOT SAYING THAT I'M BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE. SHE CALLED ME THOSE HURTFUL, MEAN NAMES. I NEVER MADE COMMENTS TO HER LIKE, "I'M GOING TO PRAY FOR YOU, YOU SHOULD BELIEVE IN GOD, OR GOD WILL DAMN YOU FOR NOT BELIEVING IN HIM". NONE OF THOSE THINGS EVEN CROSSED MY MIND.

    MY COMMENTS WERE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT. NOT ONLY BY HER, BUT BY SOMEONE BY THE NAME OF JEREMY, AND THE GUY THAT WAS IN THE HOSPITAL. I DON'T REMEMBER HIS NAME, BUT THEIR COMMENTS TOWARD ME WERE ALSO VERY MEAN & HURTFUL. THAT JEREMY PERSON SAID THAT MY COMMENTS CAME ACROSS AS CONDESCENDING,AND THAT OTHER MAN, WHATEVER HIS NAME IS, REALLY TRIED TO MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A STUPID JERK.

    GOD, KNOWS ALL OF MY STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES ARE. I FELT BULLIED AND I WAS AIMING TO DEFEND MYSELF TOWARD THE PEOPLE THAT I FELT BULLIED BY. I NEVER CURSED AT HER, OR CALLED HER NAMES. THE WORST THAT I SAID WAS THAT I CALLED HER A "HATER". I'M NOT SAYING THAT I AM ANY BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE, BUT AFTER I READ HER BLOG SAYING THAT THE FACT THAT SOMEONE HAD ASKED WHOEVER WAS IN THE HOSPITAL IF THEY BELIEVED IN GOD, SHE SAID THAT "IT WAS MORE LIKE AN EYE ROLLING SITUATION". READING THAT GOT A RISE OUT OF ME.

    WHATEVER. I WILL NOT BE LEAVING HER ANY MORE COMMENTS ON HER BLOG. I AM TOO OLD TO DEFEND MYSELF TO ANYONE THAT WILL TAKE WHATEVER I SAY AND TURN MY COMMENTS INTO SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE NOT.

    NONE OF IT WAS GODLY.

  2. Hi Dennis,

    I read the responses, and went back over them again just now. I responded to the second one but my questions were for both - sorry that was not clear.

    You wrote: "Damn lady. You TRULY ARE A HATER!!!! "

    Well, is "Damn lady" not an insult? And what is she a hater of? God? If she's a hater of God, then I ask you again, how would God respond to that? How would God respond to those who hate him?

    I understand she insulted you. On the flip side, do you think maybe she felt insulted by your first post?

    Do you think Jeremy was being purposefully mean or just trying to point something out? I am a member of many online forums, and typing in all caps is never allowed, because it is considered yelling in chatspeak. They had no way of knowing that you were not yelling and just making it easier for you to see when they read your earlier comments. *I* thought you were yelling as well, because I didn't see your later comments when I posted.

    I like your last post. I understand you got upset about the story, but if the guy really was being arrogant when he offered prayer then don't you think it was wrong of him?

    Communication can be tricky online. :?
