Brief Bitchy Observation

[browngirl]

This isn't the entry I should be writing; I should be writing about the great fun of watching the movie Hot Fuzz, how that was enhanced by watching it with WD, and how much fun dinner was between his company, the beer-and-cheese plate, and the adorable knee-booted waitress. Hopefully I'll write about that soon.

Right now, instead, I'll write this. There are people (multiple people, none of whom I expect are reading this) who are friends of several of my friends, but who are no friends of mine. Yet, because they and I have several friends in common, I see their comments in my friends' journals, and those comments invariably irritate me, so that I must say to myself, "I will not flame this annoying person in my friend's journal." Often several times. After all, I try not to start fights in my friends' journals, that's a bad practice.

So I'm writing this down, to remind myself of same. Goodness knows, there are probably people who feel this way about me.

Yeah, I have that problem too, but this week it's "people who post other people's writing in their LJ, and then take criticism or comments on it *just as if they'd written it themselves.*"

Oh, *people*. I sigh and shake my head. I used to do that, actually, and in endeavoring to not do so anymore I realized that what I was reacting to was the implication I was seeing that I'd chosen poorly when finding something to quote; once I realized that I could remind myself that the implication was in my eyes only.

Maybe I do need a snarky term. *contemplates snarkage*
