Hey - go check out The Scholastic Scribe - she's got the most recent Lizzy for President interview up - and I KNOW you're dying to know what all I had to say, especially regarding the food we'll be serving at the state dinners!
I came to a realization yesterday... and I think maybe it's my dark side... there is a VERY popular blogger out there that I... well... I know this is so un-Christian of me.. .but she drives me BONKERS! B-O-N-K-E-R-S I tell you. I tried to like her but... there's just something about her that rubs me the wrong way. But you know what else I realized? It's okay. I don't have to like everyone, and not everyone has to like me. The world is too full of different people for us all to like everyone. So it's okay... right?
Is there someone like that in your life? Someone that everyone else just adores but you just ain't feelin' it?
(ETA - this person is DEFINITELY NOT someone on my blog roll, nor is she a regular commenter, so don't worry - it's NOT YOU!!!!)
(ETA part dux - Check out Lizzy for President - now with Official Polling!!!

YES! I feel that way about a few blogs. It's amazing to me how even in cyberspace we can meet others that we just don't mess with! :)
I think EVERYONE (well, almost everyone) is like that for me right now. Red river time.
Oh gee Lizzy I hope it's not me. lol
But I sure am curious.
And currently I don't think there is anyone that is driving me nuts. Other than me and the thoughts in my head.
Love ya darlin. Is it me? You can tell me ya know.
Oh thank goodness. I was a little worried. (yeah, so not worried)
I am so glad it is Humpday. Just thought you would like to know.
It's me isn't? Oh wait...I am not popular!!
Tee Hee!
PHEW I definitely thought it was me!
and here I thought I felt it!!!! Yep, I know one person that does that same thing for me!!
Have a super day!
- Jennifer
I am an avid Jane Austen fan too!
Thanks for stopping by today.
Sometimes I think my entire life is like that. I get anti Oprah. Anti Grey's Anatomy. And I am anti that same blogger.
But...I think it's all okay. It's not like I send anon hate mail to those people or shows. I just don't go there. And Oprah has yet to show up at my door demanding to know why I am not showing her the love.
I feel ya. We all have different tastes. A lot of those "popular" blogs aren't very good. People are sheep and follow along anyway, even when a good blog turns blah.
WAY TO FEED MY INSECURITY!
I knew I should have commented more.
Oh well, I still love you my almost was gonna be neighbor.
Howdy...OOO I love love your question....and my answer IS so so YES...in real life! HMMM it actually has been bugging me about this group thing I belong to and how one of our members is worshipped like a goddess and I just do not see it or feel it....and frankly I was feeling like I was a total looser for not joining in on the LOVEFEST but YOU SEEM TO HAVE picked me up with this little POST! JUST WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW THAT I AM ACUTALLY NORMAL. O and blogland...mmm i have to think about that one
I have one in particular that brings out my bad side--it is strange that I read it just to piss myself off.
Strange, that
I like your blogs! They always give me something to think about.
I came to that realization about real life bout 2 years ago. Now I don't make myself crazy trying to "mesh" with people who rub me the wrong way- or suck me dry.
Yes, it is ok to not be friends. That is life.
Ooooh. I wonder if it is the same one I'm not that crazy about! Me. LOL Just Kidding!!
Oh, and to answer your question. Yes. My sister-in-law.
I bet you dollars to doughnuts we are feeling it about the same one. Ummhmm.
I have a co-worker like that. Sometimes I just look at her say, "Really? I mean... Really?" And then walk away.
You could have just told me. *sigh*
Bwahahahahaha Love ya!
Oh, yes, there is a co-worker of mine that I feel just that way about. And most everyone else loves her. Except for me. And I just have to keep my mouth shut, grit my teeth, and walk away when people are saying how they "just love her".
I'm with you, girl.
I wrote about her on Monday. She is really fun but, she just can't get her act together.
Yep, I am the same way! And I still read them even when I don't like them...I'm wierd, I know :D
Obviously it's not you. ;)
I feel the same way -- just hope it is not me! Anyway I added you to my blog role.
Much Love
Anissa
It's me, isn't it?? hehehe...no really, I blog to find friends and I realize along the way that some are just not people i'm compatible with and I move on to other bloggers. I don't intend to be forced to talk to people that I either find offensive or don't have anything in common with. You are right - you don't have to like everyone.
I am so glad you admitted to this, because there are several blogs I stumbled on that are like this. I just don't get!
I know the feeling. It can be hard to let go of the don't make the popular kids dislike you reflex.
Thanks for stopping my BATW day. I hear good things about NC. I have a couple of cousins who relocated down you way last summer, and they love it!
I'm sorry. I am from Mississippi. It is the redneck in me!
I agree with you completely...some personalities go together, some do not!
thanks for stopping by yesterday! Always good to have you visit.
Yes, I know what you mean. There are always going to be people that despite how much you try, things just don't click...
Think of what a boring world it would be if we all liked each other . Vanilla, really vanilla ...
LOL we all have people we dislike. That is funny you blogged about it!
"I know who it is, I know who it is, I know who it is..."
I am saying this in an annoying sing-songy voice, just so you know.
I won't tell, though. Promise. Cross my heart and eyes and legs and all that.
Lots of people rub me the wrong way. But you know the saying: If you can't say anything nice about anyone, come sit by me.
(Oh, how I love to quote Steel Magnolias.)
I'm a lot like Lula. I don't discriminate ... I hate everyone.
Nooooooo just jokes ... I don't hate everyone. Some people are just highly annoying - like MOST celebrities.
Hey Lizzy....Uh, I can totally relate to feeling that way....actually there are several very popular ones that I just don't get it....but to each his own. Good things there are plenty of blogs I do love that keep busy. :)
Ok, now I'm wondering whose blogging you are referring to though.......
I read this blog yesterday and decided to just think on it. As is human nature the first thing I did was worry that that person was me. This has been my lifetime pattern. I was always the new kid and am finding myself in that position once again since recently moving to CA. It was my goal to make people like me. I was crushed when someone didn't like me and didn't even know me. What is it in us that makes us NEED to be Liked and or Loved? I don't like everybody so it's silly of me to expect everyone to like me. Heck sometimes I don't even like me. As always, it's refreshing to read your honest thoughts and you once again made me think.
We don't like everyone we know in person, so I don't know why we would think that we would like everyone's online persona.
Oh, and I knew you didn't mean me when you said that she's "a VERY popular blogger."
