Journalers you dislike

greenspun.com : LUSENET : I Wasn't Built to Get Up at this Time : One Thread

I was thinking about this the other day. Do you read any online journals written by people you dislike? Are you trying to get into their mind? To mock them? Why?

Does anyone dislike me (God forbid!)? Who do you dislike but still read?

Feel free to answer anonymously!

Who could dislike you, Tim?! =)

I only read a few journals; I like all the people whose journals I read.

Laurie of Memory and Desire drives me nuts. Melodramatic much?

I read someone's ex girlfriend's diary. Not that I dislike her at all I just want to shake some sense into her sometimes, but I just find it fascinating that she's run off to another country for some creepy old pervert (calling girls from another continent for 'romantic conversation' constitutes creepy old pervert in my opinion) she met over the internet. It seems epidemic! And I quite like your journal very much thanks!

I love you, Tim! I love your wit, your sense of humor and all of your funny stories. too bad you live way the heck over wherever and I'm here in california.

No, i only read katie's, Greg's and yours. I've tried reading others, but I just loose interest so fast because I don't know them as well. I've been reading Katie's for like, a year and a half. it's wierd.

but you, of course. but gimme another week or two.

I don't read anyone's I dislike; well, unless you count the friend who likes to correct my grammar...um, yeah. really we're not enemies and I like his writing soooo I guess it doesn't matter if we have our little miffs.

I've read katie for at least 2 years, you for maybe 6 months? um, not sure, greg for like a year,and I have like 20 other journals on my list too. some I don't read as often though or they just don't update. I like the humourous ones the most and sometimes your writing reminds me of a pamie type..heh heh.

I hardly read any journals these days. At least, it doesn't feel like that many. You, Katie, Krysten, Helen and Seth Warren on the rare occasion when I get update messages (hint hint), Laurie, the swansongs residents / former residents, The Charcoal Journal (can't remember the URL), volcanic.diaryland.com, and, indeed, one that I really can't stand. The writer's attitude, her writing style - even her HTML - all make me so annoyed, but I can't seem to help going back to it anyway. I don't want to name it, but it's quite well known and I know a few others feel similarly.

I bet I know who it is! And it's the same one as me! Email me with it... go on... you know you want to...

-- Tim (tim@almighty.co.uk), December 17, 2000.

Well, tim as you know I live on your site! But I think you asked this question just so you'll get lots of people complimenting it. And you know I'm right! Mwa ha ha! I know you so well. I can't help but feel honoured to actually know you too. Hey everyone, I've seen him in his underwear! U all jealous?! Oh yeah! :)

-- sam (pinkandfluffy@mentalcase.co.uk), December 17, 2000.

You obviously don't know me as well as you thought, because that's not the reason at all! I only mentioned myself in the topic so it wouldn't seem like I was encouraging you to bitch about other people, but not me. Bitch about me all you want.

And I know you all love me anyway! ;)

Tim... he smells like kindergarten (paste and vomit)...

:)

-- Krys (krysten@geek.com), December 17, 2000.


Thanks Krys, you're really helping to make this the most fantastically linguistical week ever! On Thursday I found out that dildo in French was 'God', and now *this*? Kindergarten... I'm so calling everyone that tomorrow...

-- Tim (tim@almighty.co.uk), December 17, 2000.

Wow. That was a fast reply.

Anyway... dildo in French is "God"? Someone cover my virgin ears!

-- Krys (krysten@geek.com), December 17, 2000.


I read a lot of journals by people I don't like. It's so funny how some 13 year olds think they are all hardcore and badass because they "cut" and listen to "Manson" and are "Wiccan"

So yeah. I mock them.

I don't read any journals by journallers I dislike, because I wouldn't say I know any of the journallers whose journals I read well enough to either like or dislike them particularly (with the exception of Zed, who's stopped journalling anyway *hint hint* which I'm allowed to do because there will be 2 new entries tomorrow). I do, however, read one journal which often pisses me off quite a lot. I suppose that means that the journaller would too, but no, from some of the stuff she's written and from some email correspondence I've had with her, I think I'd rather like her. Her journal, however, is another matter...

I read amy's journal. I really dis like her. We have totally diffrent views on everything. She thinks she is so much more intelligent than everyone her age and thinks that by "making fun" of all of them it makes her come off as funny. Its not working

Actually, I read my ex-girlfriend's diary, the one she keeps next to her bed. Found out alot about who she "really" was, since she would always tell me that I didn't know who she was. When she broke up with me on Christmas Eve 2000, she said that looking back in her diary she realized she didn't love me like she used to. OK. I was tempted, so I bit. In her diary, I found out she fell in love with someone else, sent me "fake love notes", and used my love knowing that I would never ask for it back, "Good thing he's not asking for it". Wow, that hurts, especially coming from a Christian girl that I prayed and worshiped with. Huh. So I had to find out what really happened, cause things went south right after she sends me this letter telling me how much she needs me, loves me and how bla bla....she changed in the blink of an eye. I just needed to know!
