My turn...

So I happily stumbled upon (not really..I'm a subscriber) a blog that was obviously written about me. I won't use any names, as it seems fair to do that in this sort of situation, but being it was all brought up all over again, I will comment a little further.

Like i've said numerous times before, I appreciate you looking out for me.

But a) I don't understand why you even care?and b) do you even know this person?

I am fully capable of understanding and comprehending the impact something can have on the world wide web. I also understand that it's called the world wide web for a reason. I ALSO understand what the word publish means. I don't do anything with regret, hence me thinking about my actions and what can entail. I am only a year or so younger than yourself, not an uninformed 18 year old, as you seem to think I am.

If you were also referring to me as someone who thinks I pay for tuition therefore I think i "own" the people who teach me, then you're terribly wrong. I pay for an education for a reason. TO LEARN. To take responsibility for my work and EARN my grades. Hence why I had such a major issue with this other person. I didn't learn a damned thing. What he taught was wrong, offensive, things he didn't even know anything about. I was also given an unfair grade. I say that because people with the same situation as myself were given an A, yet I was given a much lower grade. And because of that, this year is even harder b/c all of us are pretty much having to start over. It was like going a year without that one class, though we should have made progress and a great amount of headway. After all, it IS What we study!

I pay to become the best student, and hopefully performer, and dancer that i can absolutely become because of the degree that I am earning.

But alas, this isn't really about that. I think what has me fired up the most is that you've put words in my mouth. You've said that I've called him a "fag" which in fact i NEVER did. You also said I'm running around gloating about getting him fired? REALLY?? The last I read, those words NEVER came from my keyboard nor my mouth!! I'm gay bashing. I'm gender identity discriminating. I said I would love to give him this as a gift. I understand how you can misconstrue that, but I really thought you knew me better. THIS is how rumors and gossip get started. FROM NOT KNOWING YOUR FACTS!

Everything I stated was truthful. Anyone who saw "La Danse" knows what his piece was about, and the fact that this dialogue,"A man walks into a ballet class and he's half queer, right?" came out of his mouth. I won't go into this any further as I'm tired of explaining myself about this.
By the time I apply to graduate schools, this blog will probably be lost somewhere in cyber space. Yes it will still exist, but I'm sure someone would have to do some serious digging to find anything they may consider "libelous, whining, bigoted". Will you be calling the schools I apply to and tell them what you think about me? Then perhaps I have a problem. If the school has HIM as an employee, or faculty member, then I have a MAJOR problem. Otherwise my work, and work ethic, which is far from whining, and myself as a person, which is far from being bigoted, will speak for itself.

Next time, with me, feel free to put my name in your blog. It won't offend me. Actually it makes me feel better because at least I know you were directing it to me, instead of coming across like you're speaking about a general population.

And believe it or not, I say this with a lot of love in my heart.

I've also looked at the publish button three times..just for you.

Peace.
