Tuesday, July 12, 2005 ( 11:50:00 PM ) Miss Scarlet It's hard to complain about people being hypocrites or melodramatic because who isn't hypocritical or melodramatic at some point in their lives but for Pete's sake sometimes it just gets ridiculous. It seems like all week I've been describing situations as "ridiculous" and "amusing" and at times, "frustrating" although I try not to use the last one because it seems like an admission of defeat or something. It's like allowing someone else's unwarranted actions to affect oneself and as a result it's like lowering oneself to the other person's level. If ever I can take the higher ground I try to. I went through a situation at a former job where my manager was a horrific bitch and took it upon herself to try to ruin the pristine work reputations my sister and I had earned. To this day I can still get angry over some of the things she did but at least I know I maintained the reputation of being a good person. And it's not even a reputation I was able to keep with everyone who knew me there because she did succeed in tainting some people's view of me and my sister. But I know, and my sister knows, that we were, and are, better people in the end. #

I've definitely been hypocritical and melodramatic at points in life (I know...hard to believe), but that doesn't preclude me from being annoyed when I see it in others. Being self-aware enough to know I do it, doesn't make it right for someone else. Plus, hypocritical and melodramatic don't necessarily lead to hurting your friends, which is one of the things going on in this situation.
