Okay, I've been wanting to say this for a while, and now is the perfect time to say it.

I'm going to say this once and say it very, very clearly:

I am a fiercely, fiercely loyal person. If you are my friend, I'd give you my last penny and fight to the death for you - until you disappoint me. If you fuck with my friends, you fuck with me. If you show yourself to be something less than I believed you to be - if you are two faced, spineless or prejudiced, or if you side with bullies - I will FUCK. YOU. UP.

I will stand by my friends through anything while they are deserving of it, but I've had a lot of practise at cutting people out of my life and I will do it with no remorse whatsoever if you give me a reason.

I might like you, I may even love some of you (and I do), but I don't need people who choose not to live up to the respect I give them.

The way you put it, loyalty to your friends etc, it makes perfect sense. Unfortunately, it's not always the case. I know this from experience. I've called some fucked up people friends, and been treated pretty shittily in the past. I like that I always know where I stand with you. Same goes for me, you know. I fight for my friends. Hope you know that.

Fucking-A. You are seriously awesome and straight-forward. It's what I value most about you. Say what you mean and mean what you say. ♥

This is what I should have said months ago when people were giving me shit for being me.

This is what I love about you. You're not afraid to speak your mind, and to stand up for your friends. I am truly lucky to have you as a friend, and I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for me. *hugs*

If only everyone was as awesome as you.

We may not always agree about things - and we don't - but I'm damn happy to consider you among my friends even if we haven't met. I can always handle honesty. It may sometimes take me an hour or so to deal with the degree of "blunt and forthright", but it's INFINITELY better than the backstabbing, laughing assassin alternative. And I've had MORE than my fill of those in the past three years.

*hugs more*

I know that we don't know each other that well, but I appreciate that level of loyalty and ferocity that you show your friends. I hope that you never have occasion to do so on my behalf, but if you ever do, I hope I'm deserving of it.

Most of all, I hope that things get easier and that people would just lay off of you and yours for a bit.

Now - for the happy making. Please to be seeing my pic. It's a Jen original taken at the Atlanta date for Young Wild Things. If it screws up your page, feel free to delete, but I wanted to share some happiness and love.

Do you know how honored I am to be called your little sister? Since I was fourteen I've wanted to be half as cool as you. I love you Rosie, to bits and pieces. <3.

I don't need people who choose not to live up to the respect I give them.

Amen. I think a lot of people out there don't think mutual respect is important, or at least they can't be bothered to fight for my respect. Their loss.

You're like me, only better and I love you for it.
