Why I’m ticked off. March 9, 2008
This post was originally supposed to be about therapy, but lately I’ve been posting various passive- aggressive facebook status updates, that I thought it time to air my grievances.
So, In no particular order, why I’m so ticked off:
1. I want to be on GCN radio: I’ve really been mad about this for more than a year, and I really need to get over it. There’s been various GCN members on the radio program, and even a few straight members. Well, just one straight member in particular, and I’m not going to mention their name. A few weeks ago, a straight that is not even a GCN’er was on there, and I was just hurt. I totally get that GCN radio is moving towards a format where they actually talk about important things towards the GLBT community, and I totally support that. But I would like to think that I’ve have something important to say too, and it would be really funny. What’s funny(and so very sad) is that if I were asked to be on the show now, I would want to say no, because I would think that the only reason I was being asked is because of my constant bitching about it. My roommate says the reason that I’m so hurt is that GCN is sooo important to me, and that we’ve grown so much, that I’m not important to GCN. If I were to discount myself, I’d say that GCN is not for me, and I shouldn’t even care. But I’ve decided not to discount my feelings anymore, and even if I sound like I spoiled brat-I don’t care. I think it sucks that I can’t be on GCN radio, and I’m saying something about it.
2. People should not sign onto AIM, Yahoo or any other messenger if they’re only going to be away immediately: I’m going to be a jerk and say it. I see people who log on to various messengers, only to go in to away mode, and stay there for the duration. What’s the point? I always thought that you went on to messenger to talk to people, and it you didn’t, you would LOG OFF, so that people like me wouldn’t send you a million messages and getting on your nerves. If this sounds like you, please know that I still love you to pieces, but I hate what you do when you get on messenger.
3. Being a GCN moderator sucks sometimes: And that’s all I’ll say about it, because various people could read this, and it start some major drama about nothing. I’ll just say that it sucks, and I think we should stop mollycoddling people sometimes.
Those are my main gripes, and I honestly feel alot better for getting them out. If I offended anyone, I’m truly sorry, but I am not sorry for what I’ve said. I’m just not. I’m sick of being annoyed all the time, and not being able to say anything about it, because of fear of offending someone. I will try in the future to be tactful, but if I’m bothered about something, I’m going to talk about it.
I think you should do the show if they ever ask just to air your concerns and to say, hey yeah, what took you so long.
You’re a better Interwebber than me. That moderating stuff would drive me crazy. Way too much drama in forums like that. But I hate conflict while some people thrive on it.
Thanks for the birthday wishes over in my space!
