++ Target $1 section score :: oversized pastel paperclips. ++
So… I was just introduced to a lovely little site called “Get Off my Internets”. Have you heard of it?
GOMI, as it’s more commonly referred to by it’s readers, is an open forum for people to start in-depth threads talking shit about a variety of big name bloggers. It makes me cringe.
My favorite comments on the site are always the ones that go something like this:: “she is the biggest conceited BITCH to walk the planet. She’s not even pretty & she is so obsessed with herself. Plus, she is DUMB!”.
Oh, that’s interesting, so you’ve never met her/ seen her in person/ talked to a friend of hers/ & don’t even know her last name- but you 100% know she is a cold-hearted bitch who loves her reflection & has a low IQ? Nice.
I get the whole freedom of speech thing- but is it really necessary for people to waste all the negative energy?
Ehhh, I’ll pass. I would much rather spend my time hanging out with my loved ones/ giving compliments to strangers (trust me, it’s refreshing!!)/ & enjoying the ‘this & that’ moments of life that make me happy.
Thank.You.Very.Much.
xx, E

I like your style :). Online hate SUCKS!
Talk to you later … off to Target to get those paper clips :).
Thanks girl!!!!xo
Ugh I do not like that site, there was a whole section on my website where people called me anorexic, annoying etc., it was really hurtful but in turn it got me a lot of traffic lol! I am a bit obsessed with ginger candy I buy it from our street vendors out here all the time so yumms! Lots of Love C
Thanks for weighing in Courtney!! I am glad you are with me– these internet bullies are just too annoying!!! But like you said, in the end we can all just say “Thanks for the extra page view!! xoxoxo.” Haha. If you haven’t tried that ginger candy, I suggest you do asap! It’s probably not the “healthiest” ginger candy, but it’s def. the best!
Build an empire with the bricks thrown at you &…people suck. Haha.
ugh, as if life isn’t hard enough as it is. I send love to the people who feel the need to spread such negativity. Learning to love yourself is not easy, but when you make loving yourself habit, you make spreading love one too.
There’s a lot of crap in the world. But I believe there really is more good. It’s a choice to focus on the positives rather than the negatives.
Thanks for your thoughts! You are beautiful and wonderful and deserve everything good in this life!
Thank you so much babe, I appreciate it more than you know <3
Score on the Target goodies – I will have to stop by! And I cannot believe a site like this really exists? Can’t everyone be happy?
Keep on shining, Lady <3
Your blog and tips make my day. And, while tempting, do yourself a favor and stay away from sites like that. You know who loves you. No one needs to waste their precious emotional energy on hate-filled, soul-sucking nonsense.
Amen to you sista!!! Much love your way <3
I just found this site because it linked back to my blog on two different threads. One was SUCH a personal attack on me as a person & blogger… & I’ve never even met the person! The other was just plain inaccurate/not researched haha. I remembered reading this and realize now what you mean. Thanks for the little rant — it’s helpful to see that I’m not the only one who feels/felt that way.

It’s horrible & a twisted forum for bullying.
