On FB and the written electronic word aka "email"

Another day.  Another chance at life.  What a gift; what a blessing.

I pause because my cat's laying near me somewhere in the living room and I can hear her snoring.  She definitely has a sleep disorder!  Hope it's not cat sleep apnea!  Then she could be like me and wear a CPAP mask to breathe every night!

I return.  To me, the written word is thoughtful.  I prefer this as a means of communication over the phone for many reasons.  I put great thought into my emails whereas when I am talking often my emotions ruin my words and I say things that I would rather not have said.  This is why when it is of great importance I prefer to write it down.

Apparently I commented on a family member's pet's FB page and in doing so offended the person writing the pet page.  It's so weird I can't even believe it's true but my dad said it's true.  It's a dog page....take a joke.  If you're going to have your dog call you mommy or daddy then you are going to get teased 'cuz that's just weird.  Bottom line.  Saying something like that shouldn't offend...it's just a stinkin joke.

So can you tell that I'm a little peeved tonight?  Apparently I've done it again.  Alienated someone in my family over something that I wrote.  I give up.

I have too much S*(T in my life right now to worry about someone's dog's FB page.  I mean, come on.  You have GOT to be kidding.  I thought it funny so I had my cats make a FB page so they could be friends with the furry creature who has since unfriended me without comment or call or email.  All my kids know is that someone who used to be our/their friend is no longer their friend.  I had the older one write a note to the furry creature and all, making it a fun thing that the kids could do.

Grow up.  At least have the courtesy to let me know you're mad.  At least then I would have a fighting chance to mend the friendship.

I give up.  I'm done.  Of course I care about the relationship or it wouldn't bother me this much.  The fact is, I'M NOT LIKE EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY.  Have they figured that out yet?  I do and like different things that are okay.  Like email.  Email is not the world's evil.  It's neutral.  My dad actually told me tonight that email is the lowest form of communication.  Apparently one other family member doesn't believe in email anymore and the sentiment has spread among my family.  It's absurd.  I have to have email to perform my job.  Without it I would not have a job or could not do it as efficiently.

I'm just done.  I'm freaking frustrated.  I even called the person to apologize and my call has not been returned.  Geesh.  How immature.  At least I made a gesture.

I'm tired, haven't had dinner, had stupid therapy tonight.  Kids were weird and odd on the phone tonight, then I talk to my dad for a long time and that was odd.  Apparently I said something to my mom that had her all bent out of shape for weeks.

I give up.  I try to have relationships with people.  I shouldn't have to change who I am to be friends or family with someone.  I mean, I'm a nice person and I care about people.  My intentions are always honorable....especially in my communication.   This is why I am venting frustration over the phone, internet and family and friends tonight.

I'm done.  Goodnight
