I guess today .. I am just being bitchy
My pirate jacket pissed me off.. but all in all I have been in a good mood..
I guess my major gripe today is drama queens..
I am sure every one knows one or two .. they are the people who always have "bad luck" and nothing goes right and they cant catch a break.. blah .. blah.. blah..
You know if I sat here and thought about it enough my life could be bad enough to be a drama queen.. I CHOOSE NOT TO BE ONE... I have my share of bad luck .. and it continues.. I just choose not to air every bit of personal life for public consumption.. I guess I am just different.. I dont want sympathy nor pity.. I like to work thru my stuff and come out stronger instead of garnering every one to my corner to say "Poor Elizabeth.. she never gets a break.. her life is so bad."
Seriously .. those of you who do know me .. know I have plenty.. I could do that .. I dont play the "poor me" nor the "sympathy" card well.. and because of every thing in my life I have dealt with and the things that have made me stronger.. I cant harbour much sympathy for those that milk every situation they get into for all its worth .. nor can I feel bad for every hard luck story there is.. that is simply because I have been there done that got the T-Shirt and didnt need anyone to tell me how bad I had it..
I guess what I am saying .. and I know every one deals with things all kinds of different.. but the point I am making is.. MAYBE if we did more to better ourselves and our situations there wouldnt be a need for all the sympathy and "poor *insert name here*" ..I dont know.. maybe my inner Grinch is all full up with ppl looking for sympathy or whatever.. and it seems it is the same few ALL THE TIME playing the card.. give it a break .. get over your self.. there are many people in this world worse off than you ......So take a minute of your day and be thankful for ALL the things you do have and not emphasize all the things wrong in your life..

I probably know who you're talking about, and yes it's getting old. Just once I'd like to look at the site in question and see no "Oh my god look what else awful has happened to XXXX!" post.

I'm only assuming that a certain someone has struck again. And I say assume because you know I don't hang out much with the regulars anymore...

maybe some people are not as "strong" as you elizabeth, maybe you should have a little sympathy for those people who are not like you and sometimes needs someone to lean on, the world is made up of many different people and we are not all alike, what would be nice is if everyone kept their opinions to themselves. just my 2 cents here, and i choose to stay anonymous as i don't need to deal with the backlash of exprssing my own opinion.

Oh, heck, I will play the other point that there are some people in life that just deserve a break and really do have to say, "woe is me!"
For example, my sister-inlaw cried and moaned that nobody went to her birthday party a few weeks ago. Boohoo to her. She took it out on me, as I was 4 weeks postop of having 6 screws put in my back. I suppose that I should have drove an hour away just so she could have a good time.
Really, there has been no empathy from my family and I totally think I deserve it, but would never ask for it. Some people are too selfish to see that others may really be going through a bad time and they deserve a little bit of comfort.
Then there is my niece, who lost everything in the hurricane. She only has what they could pack in their car when they left. I never hear her cry, "woe is me." Yet my sil cries it all of the time as she thinks nobody in the family likes her...blah, blah, blah....
Some woes are well deserved and some are just people trying to get attention in the only way they know how.
I love your "pull yourself up from your bootstraps" attitude. Life is what it is and we either make the best of it and move on or we sit and wallow in it....I am totally the moving on type of gal!

Two thumbs up for Elizabeth for telling it like it is.
Yes there are some people who tell all and at a point it gets old.
True the world is made up of a lot of different people, some strong and some who need to tell all.
Usually these are the type of people no one in the family listen to, so they go outside for the attention and sympathy.
Just my opinion.

i guess what i was trying to say was that beth does not have the right to be nasty to people whenever she thinks she wants to. i also meant that maybe if you have nothing nice to say and just want to be a bitch then don't say anything. why you feel the need to be so cruel to people is beyond me, maybe you are the one who needs a therapist, these comments were not just on your blog, which i do not read regular, nor do i want to, same with you guys you don't want to read mine DON'T, beth has been so mean to people that i am suprised that all of you people can not see through it. well thats about it for me i know you all will surround poor little bethy. oh well i tried
