Ok. Seriously.
Y'all know that every now and again I use my blog to vent and be pissy.
Well, it’s that time again.
Please don't let this hurt your feelings.
Please don't hate me.
Please know that if we are close friends and you have done some of the things that I am about to gripe about...You are allowed to joke with me and you know it. So don't stop. I love it when we laugh and pick on each other (you all know who you are).
Please try to see my point before you get all defensive...
I am not "calling" anyone one "out".
I am just saying how things make me feel.
OK.
Let us begin.
1. I had the swine flu. HAD. I don't anymore. I am NO LONGER CONTAGIOUS. Yes I may have been around you when I was contagious. I am sorry. I did not do it on purpose and it kinda hurts my feelings that people are acting like I have leprosy. I get it. You are scared. I know. You may think its a joke. You may be totally serious. If you are still afraid to be around me that is fine. Just stay away...you don't have to freak out in front of me.
This is mostly guilt talking. I do feel bad because I could have gotten a lot of people sick. However, as far as I know...I didn't. But thanks for worrying about me, I'm fine. All I am saying is be sensitive. I felt terrible thinking that someone might get it from me. I also had to spend 4 DAYS as a shut in eating only soup. I would like to be around people again. If you wanna use some hand sanitizer after you are around me...fine. Can it be less of a production please?
All that being said...some of you were way nicer to me that you needed to be. I greatly appreciate every call, text, fb message and every tweet of support and well wishes. I love you all bunches!
2. I do not belong to any group of people. I am free to hang out with whom ever I choose. I never liked being part of exclusive groups. I think that we are too old to label each other. We are to old to be jealous of someone spending more time with someone else. I may click with someone or my schedule my fit more with them so we spend a lot of time together. Maybe we are going through something similar and we are leaning on each other instead of sharing our problems with the world so they become topic of gossip of pity talks.
I like to talk to, associate with, call, text, shop with a lot of people,
some live in my apartment complex
some go to my church
some don't
some are stay at home mommies
some work out of the home
some have babies
some are trying
some are very grown up and mature
again some are still trying
some live down the street or far far away
some are students
My point is...I don't wear a label that says Overlook Ridge.
It is my address. Yes. I have friends that live here. I also have friends that don't.
Here I go....(I may hate myself in the morning) I HATE the following phrases
Overlook Ridge Gang
Overlook Ridge Girls
Overlook Ridge Families
Overlook Ridge Couples.
As a joke. OK. Or to be cute its fine. What I am trying to say...is that its sounds like we are an exclusive "members only club". We aren't. At least not in my opinion. I didn't think it was cool in high school and I don't think it’s cool now. Sure. We hang out a lot. We like each other. We live close. We attend the same church. that doesn't mean that the circle is closed. I love the people that live here and we have some dang good fun. I also love a lot of other people too. I think we all should have our small circles and our more intimate friendships. I just don't want to be in an exclusive group. I do like the walls that exist in them.
Sometimes I just need to say things out loud. It makes me feel better. Maybe it makes me look stupid and belligerent. Whatever.
Well...I should probably stop there.
I love you. Don't hate me.
PS- I care zero about grammar and spelling when I blog. I know that I use...to often and I have at least 7 run ons and 5 or 10 fragments. I am ok with that. K. Just wanted Y'all to know that I can write properly. I just don't. Love me in spite of my lazy writing style.

A. I'm a little bit sad.
B. I'm dead inside.
C. I'm Team Jacob. Goodbye Edward.
Ok. I started this earlier by writing a looooonnnnggggg commentary and that really isn’t what I wanted this to be. So….Take 2.
What I loved
o Bella’s Dream. Her fear of being old and wrinkled with the 17 year old stud brought to life. She gets a little criticism for over-worry on this issue. Um. Hi. Criticism from the eternal teenagers.
o Bella and Edward’s sweetness (prior to the tragedy). I love that she looks at him and is like “I’m so in love”. I love the excitement she feels in their kisses. That’s the way it should feel forever!
o The Party-I <3 that the Cullens fuss over Bella and I <3 that she hates it. I would be COMPLETELY different…Car? Yes please!
o The Gifts- the camera and scrapbook were perfect Mom/Dad gifts. I love that Edwards gift was made by him…those are my favorite gifts. Will wrote me a beautiful letter and that was a gift that I will cherish FOREVER.
o Carlisle. He is the bomb.
o Descriptiveness. Each emotion is presented in such a descriptive way that you can really feel it. Even though the majority of the feelings were sad…I apprieciate that I could feel them.
o The way that Bella thought ahead and made plans. Ya know the way she was analizing all the possibilities…I can SO relate. She was totally ready to go away with Edward before he even asked.
What I hated
o Pain. Lots of here.
o I’m Team Edward and Hello. He is gone.
Even the things that I hate are necessary…highlight of the re-read.
Alrighty, that should get the ball rolling. Comment away with what you loved or hated and don’t forget to answer the question at the beginning.
Next: Chapter 4 & 5
