Hi folks.

Feist - I Feel It All

I apologize for my once-a-week posting, but, there's a lot going on at the moment; most of which can't be talked about. A lot of it is because there is far too much cross-over between my "real life" and my "online life", and although the whole "neighborhood only", "friends only", "friends and family" settings on VOX are fantastic...if I feel like I need to constantly downgrade, upgrade and kick people out of my neighborhood just so I can have some expression and release...I can't really decide if it's worth all the effort or not.

There are all of 2-3 people that I can really talk openly and honestly with about all that's going on at the moment, and for that I'm grateful - but I truly do miss being fearlessly open online. Of course, I always had my boundaries (no personal family talk, no airing out my dirty, marital laundry online) but I've felt all muted and censored lately. There's nothing wrong with having to watch what I say, as I know I'm making the right decision, but I just being able to FUCKING TALK.

It's like, there's so many companies and organizations and bloggers and journalists that I just want to rage on about...but I'm in such a vulnerable position I can't really afford to piss anybody off.

Does that make me weak and subservient to The Networking Gods? Or just smart?

Does anybody else feel like the Internet is just claustrophobic lately? It just kills me that I used be in this fantastic little bubble where I could slag off some idiot journalist who did something shitty and laughable one minute, and now I do the same thing and realize that we have 8 "mutual friends" on Facebook and follow the same people on Twitter and have high music compatibility on LastFM. SERIOUSLY?

Am I losing my balls or and caring too much what others think? I wish I had the clarity to know for sure at the moment.

I have a feeling it's just this awkward transition period that I'm in the middle of. Or maybe it's that fucking Mercury Retrograde everyone on here is always banging on about. Can I blame it on Mercury? Is he retrograding at the moment? What does that even mean?

Thanks to everyone for their job suggestions and concern for my ability to afford food in the next few months. I really am okay, and I've accepted the fact that a Magical CEO is not going to email me and offer me the most fantastic blogging job of all time that allows me to work from home whenever I want, and get paid £500 a day AND get paid ON TIME!

The Universe is leaving me to figure this out myself. I'm up for the challenge, it's just just a shame my mojo is only running on half power at the moment.

It's CupCaTe. With a T! Not a K!

One of my all time favorite bloggers, you may have heard of her, likes to do these special posts called  "Exclaimation Point!" where she posts excerpts from all of the hatemail and shitty comments she gets.

I would now like to take this opportunity to share with you some of my favorite hatemail/comments because just keeping them to myself isn't nearly as fun as sharing them with all of you.

On Dollymix, I wrote a post about the new TV show that's like the UK's version of Laguna Beach. I'd say the name here, but these kids like to set up Google alerts on their names, and then get all their drunk coked up friends to leave me comments. Gotta love their enthusiasm.

But anyhoo. I wrote this post saying, "Oh great, another TV show about spoiled teenagers." and I got a large variety of very wise comments from some very articulate young people:

cupcake - u r obviously very jealous and actually if you think about it - you've actually taken the time to write this and go on the website and analyse.. a very jealous person

shut th hel up u snooty fckin narrowminded wallposting on th internet loser! hahahaha mate. GIMP

HaHa Cupcate got slatered!

cupcate babe,
if you watch the show, which im sure you will as im sure you have nothing better to do than sit at home all night, judging by the fact that you dont seem to care about your own appearance....
you're a fucking jealous bitch
get a life babe x

Awesome. Another young man was enraged that I had a problem with the website "My Free Implants".

Well, in response to 'cupcake's' blog, I certainly DO hope you throw your laptop out the window, and take a framing hammer to your desk-top if you have one...! Keep opinions grounded in the 1800's to yourself, my friend.

Find a cause just 'slightly' better to stand behind, like some very serious environmental issues, political concerns, SOMETHING!! And as far as the BAAPS is concerned, WHO FREAKING CARES what they think??

You REALLY need to get a life, or get laid, or stop wasting your time judging women who decide to seek help for whatever reason, and as for the men who donate their money to these same women?

grow up, get a life, get with the current century, and most of all, get off the NET - You don't belong here!!

General fuckery:

Darling, your a gas! One of your cupcake wellies is sticking out your arse. Oh sorry...it's your mouth.

So, you're one of those. And you fancy yourself all cutting edge and hilarious, right? Aren't you original!

And because racism is always fun..

You can always go back to your own country, it will be no loss for us. Are you one of these here Yankie dolls that wants to be British? God, not another one. The country is full up with people like you now, can't you go somewhere else? If you are genuinely concerned with liberating women, and it's not just a load of old vodka and tart fumes, please go to Afghanistan and get stuck in.

However, my favorite backhanded, incredibly confusing compliment(?) is...

I find you disgustingly erotic, intellectually bipolar,  and haphazardly stylish.  Therefore, I will be back for more and hope to comment on a few in the future if you don't mind, that is? 

I'm not even sure what that means, but it made my morning. Getting hateful, hurtful, and ridiculous comments has helped me grow tougher skin, as if I believed most of what people said about me, I would have surely quit my job and thrown myself out a window by now.

What's the worst comment you've ever received? (And hopefully it wasn't on Vox!)
