Not to make ultimata or anything here, but.

[xifeng]

A heads-up to two of my friends; no names are given, since the parties in question are intelligent enough to recognize themselves.

I will listen if anyone needs to vent or rant.
I will do my best to be a good friend to both of you.

I will not repeat anything that is told me or that I read.
I will not choose sides, nor will I be manipulated into so doing. I trust that my lack of tolerance for the manipulative is so obvious as to render further commentary on the subject redundant.
I will not be put in the middle of this.

What you say to me in private will remain private. What you say elsewhere or on your own journals is your business, and will remain there.

However, let me make one thing absolutely, unequivocally clear: this is my semi-public personal space for which I pay, and if you happen to encounter one another here, as is possible, you will conduct yourselves in a civil, courteous, and adult manner. That is not a request. It is a command. Regardless of whether or not you respect each other, at least show enough respect for me to keep the drama out of my journal.

I'm sure we all understand one another now.

If this is in regards to me, I have nothing to say about the situation or to the person in question.

If it is not, then I apologize.

Clever boy. In regard to actual content, understood.

I guess you could say that I don't care enough to try to change her opinion.

There are people like that in my own life. I find it makes me want to be more egregious, but then, I've always been contrary like that.

So, how the heck are you these days?

workworkwork, workwork. backtoworkbacktowork.

Seriously, that's pretty much it anymore. Eventually, I should like another job, but I've not even been here a year, and I don't really want to look like a job-hopper, so I'm waiting with bated breath. Reading a lot. Occasionally I manage to write things.

How are you?

Unemployed, but on to some interesting positions. Moved into a condo with the little woman. Miss my daughter.

I know it's not me, so I'll have to annoy you in other, more original ways! yay!

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

Oh, you never annoy me. But yay for originality. :)
