So much bitching... I don't like it. I bought Cleo on impulse, and inside there's a part which talks about the three friends every woman needs, and one of them is the Wild Woman: Nothing will shock her and the word "judgement" (for better or worse) is not in her vocabulary. No matter what you've done (whether serious or trival) she takes it in her stride. She believes strongly that every experience you go through will make your life a more interesting journey.

I want to be that sort of friend. I don't want to judge people because I don't want people to judge me, and I'm a strong believer in "don't do unto others what you don't want to be done unto you". I'm also very glad I have that friend in Randall. Thanks mate.

I also don't like taking part in spreading gossip (though I won't deny that if it comes my way I'll lap it up). In Cleo, they talk about "The Bean Spiller", who is "only interested enough to listen because she needs more grist for her gossip mill". You know, I hate to think about people talking behind my back, so I really try not to. I mean, if you want to say anything, please say it to my face and tell me. Sure, I may discuss certain issues about people, but I don't want to say anything bad. I decided, a long time ago, that it takes more energy for you to not like someone rather than accept them and go with it.
