Meme stuff

I'm dying to do one of those anonymous things about people on my friends list, but so many people have expressed disgust with them that I'm hesitant to.
And hell, I still have interview questions to ask and answer.
In other news, why is it that if I decide to have a night where I stay up way too late drinking and bullshitting with friends, it inevitably shakes out to Thursday night? Not weekend. Weekends I'm like "okay, something interesting can happen now!" but it usually doesn't. I'm sleepy. And I think I have something in my contact.

But if you're worried about other folks' disgust, why not turn the meme around and just say things about people on your friends list? Add the identifying name so they know it's about them. Then it's not anonymous. There was a meme that went around doing that exact thing, a couple of months ago.
cheers,
Phil

I wish I had done one of those myself, recently. It would have been an opportunity to communicate thoughts and feelings that, for one reason or another, can't be expressed face to face (or even by phone or email). Putting those thoughts and feelings on the table might have prevented events that have left me feeling betrayed, ganged-up on, misjudged, and otherwise outraged and miserable.
Of course, it might have prevented none of that. But at least I would know I had tried.
At present, all I know is that Southern women's etiquette, which requires absolute politeness no matter how badly the people around oneself are behaving, is a crock of sh#t and causes more problems than it solves.
So say what you feel, honey, and to hell with what anybody else thinks. If they protest, it will only be because Truth Hurts.
