[lyssie]

I was told this afternoon that I sound angry and pissed off all of the time. That I deliberately word statements to sound bitchy and mean.

The latter is, to some extent true. I like having a grasp of the language and using it to effect. It would also help if I could spell properly while watching Morse.

But I am not angry. Generally, I'm amused.

However, having prodded a few other people, this apparently never comes across.

*shrug*

Since this journal is NOT going to ever be all puppies and kittens and happy, please feel free to take me off your friends list.

It's taken me a long time to actually feel confident enough to allow myself to be angry and bitchy (in public) and, you know what? I don't give a shit if that annoys people.

So, hey, unfriending amnesty. Whatever.

Do I get chocolates?

[morwen_peredhil]

You've never seemed unusually bitchy or mean to me, but then I'm a cast-iron bitch myself.

Bitches of the world, unite! ;)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

dude! I was going to make Bitch Patrol icons. And totally forgot.

You don't sound that horrible to me...you sound amused a lot of the time. And you're going through a bit of a rough patch right now, so....

*sends hugs*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

But that's the thing. Rough patch or not, I thought I always sounded the same (and my patience for Teh List wank has certainly shortened in the last six months). Apparently not. *shrug*

[rosewildeirish.livejournal.com]

*blinks* What?

*shuffles off in happy!fog* Apparently, I am just dense. *g*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Hee. *stares happily at icon* There need to be more Ben icons with "Hey, baby" on them. hrm.

[paigedayspring.livejournal.com]

I love the 'no personality' icon and have no intention of taking you off my list...unless you want me to. I have been uncommunicative of late.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*g* Thanks. And, er, I wasn't planning on unfriending people, m'self, so no worries. even if you are strange and like Lost. But half my friendslist appears to....

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

....er. maybe? I've no idea.

[antiwesley.livejournal.com]

You're still the same old Lyssie I've known and loved these past few years... (at least 8 of them now)
:)
*huggles*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

OMG. This is true. And vastly disconcerting, at times. I think I've known you and the dwc crowd longer than I knew the CIA crowd (er... 4-5 years versus 7-8... yes.)

Bah...

[nique.livejournal.com]

Thems some crazy bitches right now. I'm sure they'll get over it...

[saramund.livejournal.com]

is it a bad thing that your snark is one of the reasons I've friended you in the first place?

Frankly, I find your 'bitchiness' refreshing, rather than...

"Oh me, someone trod on an ant!" *angst*.

of course, that is also just my sense of humour/personality.

And as an aside, it's not always bitchy at all. Generally, those are the days where you HAVEN'T been reading a certain maillist.... ;D

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

No. (yay! er...)

I generally try not to angst, because it doesn't do me a lot of good. And snark is much more amusing.

*coughs* Well, that, too... Although I'm sure part of it is that I do not have a hood-mounted laser to killrid the road of stupid drivers with.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Which is good. It's hard to sustain anger.

Otoh, irritation has fueled many a fabulous rant. But then, it's usually tinged with amusement.

Apricot?

[karma-aster.livejournal.com]

...but if I unfriend you, who else will be my Magic Porn Genie?

For that matter, who else will I bake cookies for?

(clings to the Lyssie!)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Push the button and the porn comes out?

....that sounds wrong. *eyes*

[nakedtoes.livejournal.com]

You could put warnings on every rant of yours. Something like: "Beware: the following may contain excess ire, force or snarkiness and is also laced with a subtle dose of ironic humor."

Sorry. Brain is still not working this morning.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I shall. sigh.

*flops* I shall go to bed soon. brain is deaded.

[katcorvi.livejournal.com]

I love you for your snark and your porn and your humor, too! Those people who complain? Let 'em go cause they just don't get it. Pity them. :::pity seeps into keyboard:::

My goodness, a day without Lyssie is like a day without Nutter Butters. Not good.

Here, dog tosses you more cookies. :::zings NBs through the web;NBs avoid sticky pity by flying above it:::

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Well, good. And it wasn't a complaint, it was an observation.

*smooches*

[dreagoddess.livejournal.com]

Sorry, babe, you're not getting rid of me that easily.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Good! *pounces*

[livilla.livejournal.com]

So, that's a bad thing?

*clings* I like it here.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*snuggles* Apparently?

Rar. *cuddles*

[drake57.livejournal.com]

You know i never see you as angry,kind of like me with LJ..sarky and cynical :)
But you're nicer at it than me.

I get the you whine too much Drake :)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. Sigh. Oh well. *snuggles*

[havocthecat]

Hmm. *ponders* Okay, since we're in honest mode (yay!), I'm going to be honest. I'm, um, not always sure how welcome it is with some people, but you seem like the type to prefer hoensty. So tell me if I piss you off, 'kay?

Yes, you often do come across as bitter and angry, but I can also see the underlying thread of humor...most of the time. And sometimes I wonder why the heck you've friended me, because I'm a bit fluffier than you are (I like sappy romantic shit more than you seem to, and am unapologetic about it, for one thing). But then again, I really enjoy reading your journal, I like dark, sarcastic humor, and figure if you didn't enjoy reading mine that you'd unfriend me.

So am I making sense, or am I just blathering now?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*nods* And see, objectively, that makes sense to me. But I do like fluff (hence the tendency to occasional hipocrisy... and lack of spelling.)

No, you're making sense.

And part of why I friend people is that they're interesting, and (sometimes) have a completely different perspective on things than me. And, er, I like reading journals that aren't mine.

HUGS

What's wrong with being bitchy anyway?

Gina

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

In moderation, I suspect, nothing. *snuggles*

[sjshipper.livejournal.com]

ummm...it's a journal. yours. sound mean and angry if you want to

you're stuck on flist. bitch on.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*giggles* Yay! *snuggles*

[anastasiab.livejournal.com]

Sweetie, I enjoy you WAY too much to unfriend you. I find you only occasionally angry, and guess what? So am I. So is everybody, I'd say. You're also warm, insightful, kind, supportive, and a helluvagood writer.

I hate you're going through this rough patch, but it will get better.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*crosses fingers* Here's hoping. :)

::loves on the Lyssie Lyssie Lyssie!::

Dude, you spend waaaay too much time worrying about other people. You have so many positive qualities, and I guess we just don't tell you often enough. I think I'm going to have to start posting once a day for every person on my f-list to remind them of the things they have that make me honored to know them.

And I guess the first victim will be you. =)

::Hugs Lyssie::

[dragonelf-2002.livejournal.com]

Hey, don't worry I will keep you forever and ever.

[anr]

Don't ever change, hon.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*snuggles* I don't plan to. :)
