ya know. I dont get what you say sometimes. Maybe its because I havent really caught onto stuff. Yeah. Very off the wall, stuff.

It is more likely that what i'm saying makes no sense whatsoever. Or at least, only moderate sense.

You are in good company!

I adore your journals. ADORE them. Your silly little words and turns of phrases are so cute and endearing and amusing and I love them. I "get" them. It is difficult to find people who seem to be on a similar wavelength of silliness to me, so it makes me very happy when I do. I am not one of those people who thinks that I know you because I read your journals, oh no. But I like the online persona presented here. I would like to get to know you better, but you seem so popular already and busy and I don't think that there'd really be time for that. Not just you, I am caught up in way too much of my own little world. So I just enjoy and admire. There is smittenness.

[identity profile] jodawi.livejournal.com 2003-01-31 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
smittenness is next to kittenness

actually i currently feel Less Popular; perhaps a lifetime of unpopularity has warped my feeble wriggling little neurons

Almost everything is next to kittenness.

And it just seems to me that you have many, many friends and admirers and people. So I'm just one out of all of those and on the periphery so to speak. But I understand lifetime of unpopularity.

I think you are a flighty, slutty, drama-queen. you think so highly of yourself that you have sex with anything that moves, including various minors of questionable consent.

[identity profile] jodawi.livejournal.com 2003-02-01 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
hmm...

flighty - well, yes, i'm a fruitbat, bats fly typically.

slutty - i'm a hussy, not a slut. except on sundays.

drama queen - just because i'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me!!!!!

minors - last minor i had sex with was when i was in high school, and i wouldn't have sex with you regardless of your age and presumably you move enough to type. as for questionable consent, sorry, please try harder.


the thing i've been wondering about you is... don't you have something better to do with your life than read my journal?

hm. actually, maybe you don't.

Wow!

It's also nice to know that I don't need such confirmation in my existence to be so egotistical.

.... and calling Mormon's abusive and that their polygomy is wrong is sort of hypocritical don't you think? At least they say that they're doing it in the name of God.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I don't bad mouth other people in my secret little sex community behind their backs and then later get told about it by two other previous members who all think you're a total sleaze.

And if you don't want people to know stuff about you don't post it on the internet. This has only just begun. I've got printed copies of EVERYTHING.

do these mysterious others also have the balls and/or clit to not be anonymous?

here's what i posted after removing you. would have told you if you had asked, but you prefer to listen to wormtongues and suchlike.

admittenistration [21 Sep 2002|03:11pm] jodawi

i sorrow to have removed glitterkittykid from the group. mittenland is to be a safe place to be oneself... perhaps i gave her too many chances.

in answer to a question about why: glitterkittykid has made misc snide remarks to people here after she got upset with me. i talked to her about it briefly, and hoped it would stop, but it happened again.
...
iron mitten and all that. crush all in path of fist.

It's not easy being mean [26 Sep 2002|12:12am] jodawi

The removed glitterkittykid says things to me like...

hmm... don't feel that i can post it. summary: wasn't fair, she wasn't being sarcastic, she was given no warning, she's being unfairly judged by me, etc.

blarh.

probably did not handle it optimally.

responses:

A: "...I think you did the right thing. ... I wouldn't feel bad if I were you; rock on with that iron mitten."

My reply: "muh. benign totalitarianism isn't all it's cracked up to be. luckily i'm an inhuman programmerbot and feel nothing."

oooh... pretty dark and vicious stuff.

This has only just begun.

And i'm the drama queen? So you too have nothing better to do than read my journal?

i here include my last email to you for the benefit of the innocent bystanders:
...

Here's my point of view:

I have been, without fail, the best friend I could be to you.

You claimed to be in love with me, and I did my best to indicate that it probably wouldn't work out due to distance, age difference, and me being polyamorous while you were not, while still trying to not make you feel rejected.

I researched resources for you to try to help you deal with __________, and offered to help pay any legal costs if you wanted to try to pursue that. I spent $400 or so extra to come visit you on my summer trip.

I bought you a free LJ account, books that I thought you might like, then gave you money for shipping those books around and gave you extra money because of your employment turbulence in Alaska.

I called you and talked to you when __________________.

Of the 10 or so people I visited this summer, you're one of the two that I have gotten around to posting all the pictures of, after letting you review them and get rid of any pictures or elements you didn't like.

You were on the LJ friends group that I checked the most often, as I told you after you for some reason claimed I probably had you in the least-read group.

I've never lied to you or tried to mislead you in any way. I've been polite, supportive, have never ignored you, blah blah etc.


continued in next entry...

[identity profile] jodawi.livejournal.com 2003-02-01 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
continued...
Now you:

Free LJ account: 8 or so other people had no problem with it, you were the only one to bring it up as potentially creepy and stalkerish (tho one other person did say later that they were a little uneasy). When you did so, I immediately admitted that I had done it, and why. Shortly after that, your 'friend' starts harassing me about being a weird Mormon pervert of some sort. Given that (1) my response to your being in love with me being to say a polite no to anything more than friendship,(2) I'm not Mormon, and think Mormon polygyny is an often abusive and evil patriarchal offshoot, and told your friend that, and (3) had just given you a gift, that was a rather fucked up thing for her to do. You claimed to not know about it, tho the evidence at the time told me you probably did, but I chose to believe you anyway because it wasn't fair to assume based on intuition. When you found out she had done this, your response was not "how dare she do such a fucked up thing" but "oh, she was trying to protect me". That's complete bullshit, she was just enjoying herself, and possibly trying to keep anyone else from entering into her turf.

When I refused to add this fucked up individual to moremittens because she clearly had no goal other than to find ways to jab at me, I gave you the benefit of the doubt and invited you to make a case for why she should be allowed.

Against my intuition, I added you to moremittens, trusting you with some of the most private things about me. At some point you decided to switch over to angry-at-john mode, and started making insulting passive-aggressive comments to people, then denying you meant anything by them. (Sorry, your get-out-of-assumptions free card has expired). After the first one, I gave you another chance, hoping that it was a temporary thing. After the second one, it was clear that you were doing it deliberately and perhaps seeing how much you could get away with. So I remove you to protect the group for the other people, and you get upset at me for not letting you stay there and piss off people.

Still, I was too understanding, and left you on my friends list, hoping but not really believing that it was temporary and you'd leave it at that. Then your friend insults me in your journal, and indicates that you wish I would go away and that I should take a hint. But you told me not to assume things, so I let you know directly that you'd have to tell me rather than hint. And basically she was telling the truth, you did want me to go away, and you lied when you said "that's not my style", and you dropped me from your list a few days later after I try to be supportive by giving you links to a health concern. Still, I left you on my list for a few days, in case you were doing some sort of loyalty test to see if I'd drop you immediately.

Of all the people I helped financially when visiting that summer, you were the only one who put up minimal effort to resist. Others I had to work very hard to get them to accept even tho they needed it more than you. One person was at risk of losing her house even tho it was almost paid off, and she told me she wasn't comfortable taking money from me because it might cause problems and my friendship was more important to her. You asked "who wouldn't accept", and well, just about everyone else.

Continued in next...

I'm that person and your friendship/our relationship will always be more important to me.

You'll always be the winner

[identity profile] jodawi.livejournal.com 2003-02-01 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
continued...
I've always tried to do my best, and while you've always been polite to me you've basically spit on everything I tried to offer, have insinuated that maybe there's some dark motives behind my attempts to be a friend, possibly tried to turn erin against me although I don't really know because she wanted to protect your privacy and I've only gotten hints that you might have been talking to her about me (maybe I'll find out now that you've spit on her friendship too, but on the other hand there's really no point because she knows who and what I am and I trust her to not believe things that aren’t true), and now expect me to view myself as creepy for still being stupid enough for having kind thoughts toward you. Sorry, can't do. Feel free to keep the icon as one of your user pics, as apparently it's not creepy when you do it, and say hi to your friend Wormtongue for me.


So, 10 strikes and you're out. I will not be responding to any more mail from you.


I suppose i should feel flattered that you're apparently making me the focus of your existence.

And if you don't want people to know stuff about you don't post it on the internet. This has only just begun. I've got printed copies of EVERYTHING.

hope you printed out the letter above; might try reading and understanding it sometime.

note to self: trust your intuition in the future, and decrease niceness setting one notch.

(Anonymous) 2003-02-01 01:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I have printed copies of everything, too. It makes it hard to get around the house, but the cats usually just eat on top of the piles. I can't have anyone over anymore, though, and all the people I used to call my friends have abandoned me. Probably for good. So, if you haven't started serious collecting (and I can only hope that "this has just begun" is an earnest cry for help from someone who sees the dark road ahead), take this as a warning from someone who's been there.

Get help now. And turn away from anyone who encourages this habit.

uh... many of the most evil things in the world have been done in the name of God.

And i didn't say all Mormons. Here, educate yourself (http://www.polygamyinfo.com/plygmedia%2099%20188nation.htm). A bit flawed, but makes some good points.

Couldn't find the original article at first... it's here (http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=19991004&s=pollitt)

Her response to my response to her piece (mine was basically stating that abusive polygamy was not the same as polyamory, and that her article doesn't address such things as polyamorous non-mormon lesbians who feel they were born polyamorous):

Dear John Williams,

Thanks for your thoughtful letter to The Nation. Most of the mail is on your side. Actually, I spend a long and interesting evening at the website of Loving More magazine and other polyamory sites. I read through all the chat rooms -- very interesting. There was a discussion that mirrored the point I was trying to make in my column -- one guy, a real jerk I have to say, argued that legalizing polygyny was good because it was fifty percent of what polyamorists wanted. The women thought he was a big sexist, and I agree.

You show me a modern country in which women are equal and polygyny is practiced, and I'll rethink my position. A list of polygynous countries is a list of the countries in which women are least educated, have the least rights, and are the most socially restricted. That goes for Utah, too.

In practice, legalizing multiple marriage -- unofficially, of course, people can do what they want, as they always have -- would leave women worse off. As I said in my essay, when women are truly equal, we can look at the issue again.

Best,and thanks for writing
Katha Pollitt

Anonymous comments had nothing to do with how many balls you have or hiding.
It was about John asking for comments to be anonymous.
Everybody knows who you are anyway.

Hoo boy. Young John is in a heap 'o trouble, that's right. Oh well, as the ole' sayin' goes, it ain't easy bein' green.

Anyhow, I agree with person "x", up up and above, that you seem to be a fascinating and very lovable person, and I would gladly get in line to learn more about you, except that, gee, mister, that line is just soooo long... Besides, I am not nearly girlish and charming enough, anymore; and I often growl, quite unnecessarily!

I wrote about you, long time ago, "I never know what to say to you, but we are definitely kin of one sort or another," and I guess that still holds true. I know you are a very busy fruitbat, and I realize that I am on a "less-read" filter, and I do not hold that against you - but only wish that there were more hours in a day.

I often wish you well, and send happy psychic vibes your way, even when I don't write comments in your journal. How about that?!

*muah!*

[identity profile] jodawi.livejournal.com 2003-02-01 12:07 pm (UTC)(link)
how do you know you are on a less-read filter?

i have four groups ... check frequently, read all (generally every day), read most, read sometimes. the last is mostly communities or people who've never responded to my posts. i imagine i know who you are, and if so you're in the "read all" group. the "check frequently" group contains family members and four others. anyone that wants to know what slot they're alotted can ask.

actually, when i'm not extremely busy, i tend to read all peeps, tho i skim some. since i got behind on so many, i'm starting to read the individual journals instead of trying to track things via my friends list. about a third of the way caught up, tho probably just to get behind again.

[identity profile] jodawi.livejournal.com 2003-02-01 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
'allotted'. i tried that first, then changed my mind and spelling, then did a preview with spelling check on, but between click and page load my mind wandered elsewhere and i added another sentence or three and forgot to check the spelling. yes. a fruitbat.

Oh. Well. Either way, it's no matter. As I said, I don't hold my placement on your filered lists to any great importance. (Is that English?) I only meant that even though we don't often comment in one another's journal, it's still nice to know that there are somewhat kindred spirits out there in the big bad world.

Oh, and also, I'll just keep having a crush on you, either way. :)

I wish that "person x" would realize how slutty she is and realize how pathetic it is that she needs to talk about sex all the time in order to get attention. There are other ways to do that, and it doesn't necessarily involve getting naked.

I've always wanted to mess around with another girl. Doesn't mean that I'd want to have sex with her. Kissing and fondling would be lovely. Oh, and I'm not referring to "person x," of course.

I wish that I wouldn't be so grumpy.

I'm over 18 and I have a nice crush on you that I enjoy in my own head. I didn't know about the mitten community until I read some of the comments here. I don't know if I want to join it or not.

[identity profile] jodawi.livejournal.com 2003-02-01 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I originally created it by looking at people's LJ interests many months ago, then created a screened post asking if they wanted to read sexuality related posts of mine, since i didn't feel comfortable making it too public; shortly thereafter i decided to make a separate community so other people could post too, and added everyone that originally asked to see the sex related posts. Some of them don't seem to be reading it; some have dropped out; whatever.

Then i felt guilty and posted a post mentioning it, and my LJ memories has a "Sex" category that says "Restricted Area. Email me if you wish to apply for access", but nobody responded as i recall.

Currently, everyone in the group gets a vote on the addition of new members, so any vetoes nix a new person. Part of the ruckus above is because i denied membership to glitterkittykid's friend tues, and then screwed up and added another person without asking if anyone objected. I'm not sure if it's that point where i transmogrified from friend to fiend in g's mind, or if it had been going on for a while.

At the time i left out some people that i'd met or known in other contexts, because it was personal stuff and that seemed somehow uncomfortable. Felt safer with strangers; should have listened to my instincts with one such stranger.

I'm much less insecure now tho, so if threats of publishing my private journal entries want to be made, it doesn't really matter because i have nothing to hide. And i assume she'd rather not want some of the saved conversations and emails and LJ posts from her used by me in defense.

I'm foolish, because i know she's capable of knowing right from wrong, and still feel like she's capable of doing what she knows inside is the right and mature thing. But enough chances have been given, so blah.

I currently have a moratorium on new romanticalized relationships and such, but crushes and smittens may continue unabated.

But anyway, it was a cute thought. Thank you.

Not mentioning people is interesting in a way and can be dificult, especially when they are important to you. I feel for you.

I stopped mentioning anything derogatory about my significant other and found that I started soon therafter thinking about zir in a better light too. Whew! how refreshing!
