group hate
Wednesday, June 9th, 2004 | 12 Comments 
Bah, I don’t like my group anymore. They NEVER listen to any of my opinions and our once serious presentation on STDs is now a lame skit where its a support group and I gotta stand up and pretend and say “I have chlamydia.” laaaaaame. Ack, they suck. Then they turned my idea of handing pamplets I got on STDs from the clinic into putting the pamplets in a “goodie” bag with condoms and hershey kisses. I told them I would feel weird bout eating hershey kisses that were rubbin’ up on condoms. And they want to meet at the library every damn day! Seriously, that’s where I’ve been! I have 2 projects due Friday. Since Monday I’ve done this:
8 am class - straight to work after class - straight from work to library - straight home to eat n pass out.
My pc has been off for 2 days! *it must feel lonely.*
On a lighter note though, I ordered Hot Gimmick 3, 4, and pre-ordered 5. But naughty me read 3 and half of 4 already off a scan site. Vera & Vincent Scans to be percise! I haven’t been this obsessed with something since I started crushing on Mike 6 years ago! :-)
I swear new layout coming but all this work! I don’t know when it’ll go up, plus I want to start on some knit patterns from my new Japanese pattern books, but I’ve been too busy! >_< ;;
I took some kind people’s advice and wrote my nosy Aunt 1 last email. I’m sure she’ll read it but not respond AS ALWAYS. Click “readmore” for the email I sent her.

Dear Aunt Missy,
I’ve debated whether or not to write you about this. One, I don’t even know if you’re
getting my emails because you never respond; and Two, I sort of just want to drop the subject. However, I think I’ll take some advice from friends and say one last thing on the topic of my web site.
I know you’ve discussed your anger/upsetness/or whatever you’re feeling with Grandmother.
Apparently I’ll “get a talking to” when I see her next. I don’t really mind, and I knew you would probably discuss it with her. Don’t worry bout my site anymore, not only have I moved the blog, its location is also password protected now. Why? Because, I know you’ll never understand why I want some “online” privacy from my family. I know some might say, its on the internet so its free for ANYONE to look at. I find that less of a reason and more of a sad excuse to disrespect people’s wishes.
I had the blog to meet new friends. And I have! I have 2 pen pals now that are from different countries! Not to mention lots of chat buddies. It feels great to get to chat with people who share you’re interests. However, with my blog password protected, I won’t meet any new friends. But, I don’t know if you’ll stop reading it or if you’ve given others the url, so I felt it had to be done. I don’t ever want to discuss what I blogged about in my online diary with my family. It’s just not natural to discuss what you wrote in your diary with your family members that then dose out lectures or speeches about what you had in your diary.
I’ll probably stop blogging soon too. Having it invaded and gossiped about by my family has somehow sucked the fun out of it. Even though this blog is what inspired me to get into web design in the first place, I was even learning new programming languages from it. But its pointless, to hide it away, and still blog. I might as well go back to written diaries. I had to express all this, because, its still upsetting to me that this innocent little site has turned into such a pointless big deal. I know some think I have “no right” to be upset, but that really doesn’t make any sense to me. Anyone would be upset if their wishes of privacy were broken.
Anyway, so that being said, I will no longer discuss this issue. Please read the following page I used to have linked on my site:
( http://midge.bloggage.com/readme/ )
please note the paragraph within stating:
If you have a real life relationship with the writer, remember that communication is very important. View weblogs as online journals, no less sacred than a diary hidden between the mattresses. First of all let them know that you read their site, especially if they did not tell you personally.
If they do not want you reading it, or suddenly stop posting entries, ask them why and if necessary, stop going to the site. It is important that as a friend, relative, co-worker or whatever you may be to the writer, that your presence at their weblog not impede their ability to express themselves. Remember this is their outlet. They may not want you to read certain things they might write about you or others you care about, in order to spare your feelings, avoid drama or maintain their privacy. You should respect this and immediately stop going to the site, and never relay any information you gather at their site to others who might use it against them.
……..
Feel free to send me emails about anything! And if you feel compelled to be angry about this email go ahead,
I don’t mind and I understand.
- Hope we can put this behind us.
-Jennifer

oh my god… *blinks* wow, jen.. sure you got point there… about meeting new friends, you are so that damn right… and with this password-protected blog possibly didn’t allow you to get lots of new friend like you have used to be! hope that everything will be turned out good soon with your family
I think you did a great job writing up the letter. You got in every important point there is, friends and family need to respect your privacy and if they can’t then they should at least keep what they read to themselves.
But Hot Gimmick is that good? I had a friend trying to get me into but I was too busy at the time to be bothered.
That was great. You were always good at writing. I don’t like your aunt. Maybe she spits instead? Spit in her face. No, don’t.
That letter was very well written! hopefully your aunt will leave you alone about it now cause of the extra thick and creamy layer of guilt? ^^; yay! hot gimmick! thankyou!! i was looking for more scanlations of it… x) you’ve made my day! ack. i hate doing skits… i just end up embarrassing myself (//_//) lol
Yay!! me can visit your blog again!!! *bounces around* once again so sorry for me stupid losing the login info *bow bow*
D
omg.. what kind of people are in your group *__* like goodie bag with hershey kissies & condoms @__@;; lol~ wah, you’ve been busy ne~ *hugs* hope you’ll get the chance to relax too ~__^ ooh! Hot Gimmick sounds nice from the summary of that site *_* yay!! Always fun to be addicted to manga =DDD
that’s so cool of you to write that e-mail to your aunt *hugs* She should understand online privacy from family is to be respected. Muwahaha! smart to say you’re gonna stop blogging.. maybe she’ll feel guilty about it then >xD
Aww, Jen… I’m glad you wrote that letter, I think it communicated your emotions clearly, and I hope she understands the seriousness. I really hope she recieves it. x_x It’s nicely worded.
Booo, summer school. That sucks.
you should get a new group, but that’s easier said than done. o_o
i do love this layout though. you always have such creative layouts. 3>
whew, glad the letter’s written. good on you for having the thing password protected. nosy people are annoying.
ooh..I thought you really were going to stop blogging! *relief relief* xD Nyaaa~!
that’s so shitty that you’re aunt’s starting all this crap… family is so weird, I’ve got one just like yours… I had to close my site though. Not only because of nosiy family but from lack of funds o_O; Either way you’re totally right; blogging is just like a diary and … that’s that!
Also, I think I’d go crazy if I had school and work… I dunno’ how you people do it. I just work like a mad woman! I miss learning though, so I’m thinking about taking night classes somewhere…
I think you did a pretty good job writing that letter. It’s not rude or anything, it just shows your view. It’s not always easy to write something more neutral when you are angry ^^`
I’m happy that my whole family is too old to know English, so I’m pretty save with my blog ^^`
Did you understand the postcards well?? I thought it would be hard to understand them if German is not your mother tongue, seems I was wrong ^^` Or maybe you are just too clever
Yeah, I think it’s pretty common for people who were at war to not really talk about that stuff at all.
hum.. sorry to hear about the group :( well you know.. think i’ve told you something about “group” (i forgot.. MSN or blog) about free riders Jen! well that’s my problem with group -_- .. well seems that people in your group dont really share the same way of thinking, shucks.. it’s okay Jen ^^ you won’t be stuck with them for your whole life ne? they are just “little flakes” in your life.. also your aunt’s behavior is also the “flake” in your life.. life is like a box of cereal.. full of corn “flakes” e
hhe :p can’t live with them, can’t live without them..
all of us here.. are the ones who are really reading your blog! ^^ who really cares about you! rather than those people who go like “yOuR s1t3 eEzH sO co0L, v1siT mINE iF u wAnT, pHleEZe..” hahahhahaha :p
Btw.. I can’t wait to see yer new layout.. but if you’re still busy.. never mind! The positive side of having a password protected blog is.. tadaaaaahhh
About the email.. WOW Jen.. I really wish I could write something like that.. I mean.. the words are strong.. yet you didn’t show any of your emotion. It doesn’t sound childish or emotional or anything.. it’s one COOL yet strong email! you really got the whole points mentioned there.. clear.. crisp.. all words are effective.. and the quoting from the “blog disclaimer” is just an enchancement to the whole attacks you gave yer aunt in the email! ^^ best of luck Jen.. I’m sure she’ll read it..
We here.. will be so sad and miss you a lot if you stop blogging :( come on jen.. especially me.. i’ve known you in this blogging world since like.. 2002???
