I hear for you always
I understand your struggle more then most people. because my whole life i have been mis-understood and frowned upon but i feed off their hatred and harsh words and created something more powerful then they will ever be. Because i am now a voice for the voiceless..... I am a LOST SOUL.....................
Take care and may you find a balance

who on earth would hurt you ? You don't offend anyone.............do you?
Boy i sure didn't think so. No things are not any different here than anywhere else we find ourselves in life. Actually it often reminds me of Jr. High, and those are the worst times of everyones growing up. Chin up...i think your Quirky self is awesome!

Screw 'em!
I always enjoy reading your stuff, and unless you tell me otherwise, I don't think I misread you at all. Keep writing. Tell the jerks to just not read...

Who cares what others say, you could say the same thing to ten people and each individual would hear it in their own way. If people read your blog and take it wrong, it is their problem, YOU know your intention was good, you don't owe anyone an explainatiom

Oh Quirky, don't stop melting!
Isn't the love power of your real friendships here stronger than the negativity/cruelty of whoever has hurt you?

Quirky, I understand.
Just some comments on this page could be misread and be upsetting, but all are meant to be comforting. It is, as someone (I've already forgotten) said, an imperfect medium. Remember the petrie dish? The commenting situation is a difference of opinion. People don't read me because I can't leave comments...because I can't read that much due to my personal situations....that's up to them, but I don't think it should mean I'm less of a friend to those I'm friends with. I think that's all that's being said elsewhere. Besides, you know what I'm going through here....my love is writing about his new love, he's running around talking about how he's still "getting some trim" and calling her his girlfriend in comments, soliciting my friends to go read about his new affair (that started basically the day he left me), posting poems and visuals of their sex life that it would take a woman of steel to avoid (curiosity kills).....now, she's reading my blogs somehow since he's out of the country (cat's away and all that), taking in all my pain. Searching my name, his name, her name. My web traffic stats bring her up. Why he told her my online info, I don't know. Now, if I can stick THAT out, you can stick it out with some grumpy frumpers and some miscommunication, can't you? We can do it together. You don't even have to comment on my blogs. :)

Quirky,
I don't know what's happening with you, but I certainly would like to help. Just send an email from the Blogit Chucker if you want. I don't like their mail-snoop system, but I can respond with your regular mail. If this is a passing mood I understand, but if it's more than that, give me a holler. You're one of my favorites around here.

Who cares if someone doesn't like what you have to say?
Being mis-read sucks the big one, but at least you are read. I'm not just saying that meaning at least you get clicks, I mean that it's cool that people care enough about what you have to say to write a response in their own blog. Neato Burrito.
P.S. Everybody is somebody else's freak. Cheers!

Hold on a minute Quirks...
In a nutshell what is going on? I have not been around so much... but if you are looking for like minds... well I think you most likely have one in me. I need to do some catching up... that much is pretty clear. Don't go...

It's like we've talked about elsewhere...the misread thing
You can't see people reading your stuff, scrunching their eyebrows, going deep into reflection on their own stuff. Some people write really nasty stuff because they're punks and far away so they take shots at people. Most often though, people are internalizing things. Ariala asked what her personality is and what we think ours is. Well, as I thought of what she said about herself, I applied it to myself. That's how people converse here. It's the best that can happen since you're not face to face. The people who are trying to be nasty are pretty straight up about it. The others, I wouldn't take it that way, though you sound like you're in bad place so I totally get that everything has a sharp sting. I'm circling that place myself these days. Please don't run. You sound like you need to talk, and this is a good way to do it.

Hey Quirkella, our Cinderella...Anyone who digs Indian men on bareback
are alright with me. If you are weird then I must be really out there. I like teepees, too. Heck, pass me the peacepipe, sister. I enjoy your writing. Look how brief your blog is. I'm jealous. I'm long-winded I can't produce a short post. Now smile!

Quirky,
Please don't let others here have that kind of power over you. You're a wise, wonderful soul with an enormous amount to share with and give to us. I'm sad that someone hurt you this way...
...Be at peace, my friend.

Quirky One...
I like you... but come on, you're going to let some bitchy person upset you on Blogit? Why give anyone that kind of power. You went through this once before apparently and changed names. You're going to get good and bad attention putting yourself on a public forum. Perhaps you're right and it's just not for you if you're too thin skinned to take the bad with the good. After all, that's what we have blocking for! I'd say the people who like you on here far outweigh those who don't.

Quirky,
Don't be upset. People read thier own opinions and biases into what we write. It is the way people work. I know for a fact that several times people have left me comments on my blogs that have nothing to do with what I wrote, but rather what they thought I wrote.
It's an imperfect medium. but it is still one worth participating in.

Quirky, just tell me who it is...
and I'll destroy them. No questions asked.
Being misunderstood certainly sucks but you do have people on here who care about you and what you have to say.
