Need some time

I think I need to take Breezy's credo into action and just shut up for awhile. I've been digging some holes online in the last few weeks. It was honestly more fun keeping my mouth shut over the years.

In all seriousness, my judgment appears to be failing me, as I should've kept my mouth shut about the Peep Meet and just counted votes. I also shouldn't have said anything about that stupid parking thread. It's just easier to stay out of things and keep any thoughts to myself. Nobody else then feels wronged and I don't doubt my own actions and feelings.

I'm not saying any of this with spite, I truly mean that I'm doing some soul searching and am trying to recenter my judgment about where I want to be in our online community and how my actions can support that.

So have a good holiday! I'll be thinking of you! And I'll still be checking in with my fellow bloggest losers, so I won't disappear completely.

*hugs & smooches*

People have been giving you flack?
You just tell me who and i will fart all over them. Anyone who can make you go away is in big trouble with me. *stomps* I'm ready, I am aimed and ready to fire.

Schnookie said...

I'm a little lost on what's happening.

However, I do know that there are some really shitty people out there. People who try to suck the joy out of everything. People who are bitter and always looking for an argument.

And, I definitely learned how shitty some people can be when I was organizing the banana tours and organizing one of the gift exchanges.

You try to do a good thing but you can't always please everyone.

And yes, when you start posting your opinions online, there are bound to be some people who don't agree with you. Some of those people may be friends.

It's extremely difficult for me to hold myself back from posting on a couple of those nasty threads at the other place. I just keep turning the computer off and walking away.

Now, I'm ready to open up a can of whoop-ass for whomever has made my Kim upset. Let me at them.

*puts up fists*

Schnookie said...

LOL. I hadn't ready Carey's post at the time I posted.

Carey, I hope you don't mind if I stand downwind of you in our crusade :-)

Schnookie said...

And now, I'm totally confused because if I stand downwind of Carey, does that mean I get all the fumes? Should I stand upwind?

*shakes head*

Bravie said...

You and I can gang up on them, Nookie. Nobody messes with our Kimmy.

Bravie said...

Upwind, Nookie. Stand upwind when I poot and down wind when you pee standing up or when you spit.
Or no, the other way around. Damnit, now you have me confused.

Schnookie said...

*SNORT*

Ok, let's say I'll stand at a comfortable distance from you.

:-)

kim (weltek) said...

Aw, you guys are being too nice to me. Nobody is being venomous twoards me, I just don't like ticking people off, even if it's not my intent.

Although, I still encourage farting on people. We've all probably done something to deserve a good farting upon.

Bravie said...

I will fart on anyone who is ticked off by you. They have no right. I didn't see anyone else trying to put this together. If someone felt they could do better, then they should have. For me, Seattle is out of the question but I would never think that you stacked the votes.
I will now be farting upwind, or downstream or uptown or, I have no idea.

Schnookie said...

Well, to be fair, the peep meet should be on the west coast. It was on the east coast last year.

Schnookie said...

And Kim, you could always wash your hands of the thing and let someone else take charge. Really, like I said, you try to do a good thing and people get all shitty. Fuck them!

Schnookie said...

And, I have done nothing to warrant having someone fart on me. *puts on angel face*

Bravie said...

You just dropped the F-bomb. You are Nookie. You don't use the F-bomb.

POOOOOTS on Nookie.

Schnookie said...

Oh pffffffffft! You should be used to my F-bombs by now LOL.

*Sprays Oust*

Breezy said...

*head tilt* Huh? I'm confused. Where are you getting spanked? *rolls up sleeves* Let me at em!!!!

Breezy said...

And FTR my credo thread wasn't pointed at you. *grin*

No farting on me!!! I'm the nice one. *grin*

Bravie said...

That's not what you said in the email that you sent me. You said that you were starting that thread about Kim.
Ooops, was I not supposed to tell?

Breezy said...

*snort* nice try

Bravie said...

That's how I roll. *grin*

Breezy said...

*snort* LOL I said that to DD last night "Cause I'm your Mama and that's how I roll". *snort* She didn't see the humor. *shrug*

mtw said...

Kimmers! Can I call you that? Just this one time?

I think it's a shame that the ones who are the most kind and considerate, and most likely to be worried about offending others, would be the ones who are thinking of stepping away. We need MORE of you there (and here), not less.

YOU took the initiative. YOU told everyone to make their plea for their favored location. They had just as much opportunity to post on that thread as you did. IF you swayed votes, so be it.

Don't leave. We need you!

mtw said...

Another thing. I'll bet anything that the person who was annoyed that you "swayed the vote" is one of those DEMOCRATS who believe that EVERYONE should vote in elections, whether they know anything about the candidates or have any personal stake in the outcome, or not.

MTW <-- knows you are a Democrat. I BOLDED the above because it needs to all be taken together.

mtw said...

Carey can't go to the state of Washington. She's wanted by the authorities there!

kim (weltek) said...

I just had to say that I love you guys. And you can all call me Kimmers anytime. :-)

Bravie said...

Kimmer, kimmer, bo-bimmers

Bravie said...

Washington isn't in Canada?

Zombs said...

I vote for Trenton.

Is it too late?

Bravie said...

How about Providence. Or Bangor, Maine. I vote for Bangor, Maine.

Anonymous said...

Do you think they'll have parking in Seatle for high horses?

Zombs said...

LOL Boo!

Carey? Bangor? I barely even know her!

You set 'em up....

Bravie said...

*snort*
*poot*
*rapid fire poot from snorting so hard*

Ever have that happen? One time I was playing basketball and every damn time I jumped to shoot the ball, a rapid fire poot came out of me. I was a teen back then and did NOT find it funny at the time. Now? I think it's hilarious.

Breezy said...

Hi Ho Silver Away!!!!!!!!!!! *grin*

Swami said...

*enters blog wearing gas mask*

Sometimes being clueless about OT happenings is very nice.

I'd smooch you Kim, but then I'd have to take the gas mask off and there's been a whole lot of pooting in this blog today so I think I'll just play it safe and *wave* instead.

Schnookie said...

LMAO Boo!

and LMAO at the rapid fire pooting.

mysticwolf said...

You're getting crap about the vote? *boggle*

I dunno if I'll be able to make it, no matter where it's held. But, I made that clear when I posted a vote. Seattle's fine as far as I'm concerned. If I can make it I can see my brother and meet his new wife.

No idea who'd accuse you of voter fraud, or why. No way to make everyone spread over two countries happy no matter what you do. If someone wants to set up an additional/alternate peep meet in an additional/alternate location nothing's stopping them.

((HUGS)) And, thanks for taking it on.

(Not sure what you're talking about with the parking thread, either. Yeah. I read the whole thing and some of it got heated. But, I don't remember a lot of that heat directed at you. If some coward is trying to take you on privately, for either of these, ignore 'em. They're not worth your worry.)

mysticwolf said...

Geez... I drop by a friend's blog, see that they're being attacked and try to make them feel better & what? I walk into a fartfest?

Aren't you guys supposed to be farting on the peeps attacking her instead of the ones supporting her?

Swami? Hold your breath for a minute. *grabs Swami's gas mask, breathes, passes it back* Thanks! *gasp*

Monstah said...
Weltek, sweetpea, please don't fret over a thing- not even for a second. If people are really upset over the location of the peep meet they are always free to organize a peep meet in Chicago or elsewhere as an alternataive for those who cannot make the x-country trek.

I just want to tell you, I appreciated everything you wrote in the parking thread. My general rule? If in my head, I start having "imaginary posting wars" with people then I know I need to back away from the computer screen.

I applaud any idea that fosters a clearer sense of self and growth so if you feel you need an online break then by all means honey, take one. To do so, is noble but please do not let others mean spirit and anger cloud your judgement. Take a break for YOU not for them.

Mom2BJM(Amy) said...

Hey, where's the cheese?

*grins*

Bravie said...

Why are your comments all weird?

Zombs said...

What did Monsty just do?

Will there still be assorted cheese for us? Who will feed the hungry bloggers?

Don't leave it up to me.

Breezy said...

They're not weird once you let them load all the way.

Bravie said...

Yes they are Breezy. Monsty did something strange.

Aislinn Sirk said...

Um Kimmers, I just want to ask that you not leave Zombs in charge of cheese. Her blog may actually smell worse than yours.

Breezy said...

*head tilt* they look fine to me after I let them load all the way.

Bravie said...

Look at Monsty's entry and read the entire thing. Under her name, it lists all of our posts.

mm said...

I miss you, Kimmers!

*smooches*

Zombs said...

Kim you have to come back! They are revolting in my blog!

I told you they were hungyr!

Bravie said...

Kim, You simply must return. The feet cheese that is being offered in your absence is horrendous.

Breezy said...

What the heck did Monsty do!

maroonclown said...

*pokes head into blog, hand over mouth and nose, Oust at the ready*

I haven't a clue what's happening here Kim.

You'll be happy to know that I told DH that Chicago might be an option and it would be a good drive. Or we wouldn't be able to go.

He said, "if its Seattle you should start looking for cheapo tickets."

So I think a lot of people are on your side. I can't see one thing in OT that would indicate that you're pissing people off.

You've always been a ray of sunshine and you would be doing more harm than good if you disappeared.

That would suck out loud.

Come on back and play.

*backs out of blog and quietly closes door*

Bravie said...

Yeah, you get your ass back here right this moment. *stomp*

Zombs said...

*looks on internet for more disgusting cheese*

Zombs said...

Can you at least post a new subject so we can start with a fresh mess?

Puffy said...

*yells out the blog window*
KIM! COME!

dragonflies said...

I think it's silly if peeps were mad at you. I didn't see them step up to organize a peep meet! And we don't have voter fraud in WI.

Nookie, since when is Niagara the East Coast?

Dave Clapper said...

I'm waaaaaaay late to this, but I just personally wanted to thank you for organizing, running the vote, etc. And the fact that you didn't count Nolay's vote should be enough to shut the fuck up anyone who thinks you were being unfair. Asshats.
