    Depressing!

    I really hate that people who go to the celebrity blogs insist we all do the same. No, we do not. I followed some link to one of them, & it was like being dropped in toxic waste. It was depressing, mean, & that's who they're calling to their site. "Like attracts like." I avoid them for my own sake, never minding the people they're exploiting. Reloading any of those sites, ever, even once, would pretty much mean the death of my soul. Stop assuming we're all the same. We're not. If you like reading about someone else's misfortune, go for it, but it says a lot more about you than it does about the person some stupid celeb-blog is trashing.
