Someone close to me.........

Is a very good writer and has a blog on the internet. She also works for a magazine. The more I read her blog I am usually fascinated by her words and how she uses them to aptly describe usual situations and make them jump at you to form stories which stay with you. The only other writer whom did that to me was Mike Royko, a famous newspaper columnist from Chicago.Sometimes reading through her blog, I would get jealous. I've wanted her to write about me, and the horrible injustices that have haunted my life. Food for fodder I always thought, but she never cared nor dare to write about anything in my life, and there were many gross wrongs done. So when she did choose to write about me, she did what so many others have. She judged me based on surface remarks, and how they penetrated her being. She wrote how insensitive I was . She basically tried to know me in a matter of a few words instead of taking any depth of time to truly get to know me. A good writer I do know gets to know their subject matter thoroughly before the story is told to all who will listen. I'm sorry My words offended her but all I can really say is GROW UP .If you choose to write on a public forumn then grow thicker skin, otherwise keep your thoughts in a personal diary.

sometimes people like yourself,, and me,, have a tendency to be acerbic on the exterior.. we don't want people to touch us,, get close to us,, we like to have a clear path for escape....

the tagline on my ....why paisley???? blog is:

"i'm a scared little child in a grown womans body... i might act tough,, but that's just my protective coating.....
maybe all she could see was your "protective coating" ?????
