MiLords & Miladies

 I have always strived to be a benevolent and fair Kween.  

The entire reason I wanted to leave was because I ended up hurting someone by giving unsolicited advice. That is something I never wanted to do. And now, because of myself again, I have hurt feelings and caused a rift within this little community called Kween of the Queens.

It seems I cannot get away from hurting people's feelings and causing pain every where I go.

The end product is that I will remain as moderator of this blog ring.

I wish to sincerely apologize for this disruption.  Should any further decisions be made regarding the leadership here, I shall first take my time in choosing a candidate, then after due diligence, I will initiate a vote from all of you as to who you wish to lead the blog ring.  Until that time, I hope that you will all remain with our little "community within a larger community".  Should you make the decision to leave, I will understand and no questions will be asked, no blame (but to myself) will be assigned.

I thank you all for your patience and understanding and promise that you will not be put through anything like this again.

Please join me for the new challenge that hopefully will be issued on the 1st of September.

Respectfully,

Kween

Hi Kween!
Why would we leave???

Have a great end of the week!

I'm glad you're staying, and sometimes there is just no avoiding hurt feelings. People are just overly sensitive sometimes. (especially if it's the post I'm thinking of.)
Posted 8/28/2008 at 8:6 AM by buckeyegirl31

I know you, and I'm certain that there was no intention to hurt, either initially or with the turning over the leadership. 

All's  well that ends well.

I'm sorry to hear of this drama. We're all human and we can make mistakes or say the wrong things sometimes.
Posted 8/28/2008 at 9:6 AM by TheCheshireGrins
I don't know what happened... but I think you are very sweet for apologising like this. I hope things get better between you and whoever it is.
Posted 8/28/2008 at 8:57 AM by addyorable
I don't know what happened but who hasn't given possibly bad advice?  who hasn't unintentionally hurt someone?  Don't let it shut down your gift and art.  {{Hugs}}

I am sorry you got hurt.

The effect of having a public blah-g is that occasionally *cough* allthetime *cough* "unsolicited" advice comes through as appearing harsh, or ... too truthful.

It's one of the reasons I don't blah-g publicly any longer.  I realized that you can please some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time and if I'm putting "myself" out there (or here, or wherever) and I leave the comments open -- I'm setting myself up to be told someone's opinion of their truth and my own thru their judgement. 

There are several narcissistic people on the web, and in the world of blah-gging in general.  They don't care how YOU feel -- they only care how they feel or believe.  Your opinion is second to theirs even on your own territory -- and they aren't open to discussion about much unless everyone agrees with them including the original author.  I have never known you to be this sort of person, and I'm a little shocked that you seem to have been the brunt of someones anger. 

Mind you, I just "joined" this conversation and the details are dim to me, but over all from what I have been able to discern, you might have just touched a raw nerve or maybe you were too close to the "real" truth.

(Sorry, I'm blogging in your comments ...)

IF we go into the realm of a personal blah-g with the intent of becoming introspectively aware of our flaws and our strengths, this adventure can be healing and exciting as well as assisting us to grow socially -- even globally. 

I know I don't join the challenges as often as I should -- but after seven years of Xanga, I've seen it all, left at least three times, had my "feelings" stomped all over and I'm sure I've angered (and amused) dozens of people.

Don't let the turkeys get you down.  I'm very pleased that you've come back stronger and better than ever.  It's a learning process, for sure! 

Posted 8/29/2008 at 9:56 AM by BlueCollarGoddess
Hang in there, sweetie. It's always darkest before the dawn. Cliche, but true. Ask me how I know. *grin* Okay, don't ask me; it would take way too long to explain it all. But know I understand.

Love,
Blue

"I have always strived to be a benevolent and fair Kween."  

 

Well done, good and faithful Kween.  Please stop beating yourself up for something that happened that you had no intention of it happening.  If someone wants to play a victim, that's their choice, but for you, please move on.

Now that you're back-welcome!  Looking forward to the challenges!

I'm sorry to hear of what has transpired. But you are an awesome person. I know I don't post often. But your challenges are thought provoking. I love them. Even tho I don't do all the challanges. I hope everything gets cleared up. I love this place. A place that I can actually be myself. Thank you Kween for all that you do! {{{hugs}}}

@Kween_of_the_Queens - I'm glad that you are back

There is never a need to apologize for being human, it is a curse we all must carry. Maybe in the next life we'll be lucky enough to be dolphins. (You smiled, i saw you.)

@arminus9 - Yes, I did!

Posted 8/28/2008 at 1:52 PM by Kween_of_the_Queens
YEAH!!!!  You go girl!  As others have said, we are all human.  We hurt, and we give hurt, but we are not perfect, and we seldom, it ever, intentionally do harm to others.  Sometimes we tend to blame ourselves overmuch.  I think you will find all the support you need here. 
Posted 8/28/2008 at 5:18 PM by thereluctantsinger

I'm so happy you're staying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agree with all of the above - we're all only human, and sometimes feelings get hurt quite by accident.  I'm glad you decided to stay.  You do a great job of running this blogring, and it just wouldn't be the same without you.   I was kicking around the idea of leaving, and I'm glad I didn't jump the gun.

Thanks for everything you do, I know you put a lot of hard work into this blogring.

Take care, and have a super holiday weekend!

Love ya,  Cyn

Im sorry to hear your going through some hard moments, but just follow through and keep going, ppl will appreciate you more for sticking it through as opposed to sweeping it under.
Posted 8/29/2008 at 12:14 AM by mexicanarose

Kween,  "Trouble-makers" are not often what they seem.  I view you as about as much a "trouble-maker" as the man, whom I write about in my latest blog entry.  Go read

www.xanga.com/Stanelle

and you'll ucatch my drift!!  There are people in this world,..who foment change...and if you are one of those people,..GOD BLESS YOU!!  Without "trouble-makers,"..life would become terribly boring!!

Your friend,

Stanelle :D

Posted 8/30/2008 at 9:27 PM by Stanelle
Thass ok!  Just think of yourself as a "Fomenter Of Change!!" Heh!!
Posted 8/31/2008 at 7:25 PM by Stanelle
My dearest, so happy you are staying, you are the nicest sweetest, tolerant person I have got to know. Advice, ahhhh I must beat myself too, who has never given advice, meaning well, some are just over sensitive, perhaps a wrong moment, we are human. I am battling with myself in holding back my MIL instincs to yell, only MIL's should keep advice to themselves, we all know that you are not a MIL, but a generous loving friend.
WELCOME AGAIN. I have had a trying summer, missed some chalenges because taken up with DH 's health. STILL NOT OVER.

KK anyone that knows you, knows you would not set out to deliberatly hurt another being. We are all humans and sometimes things get said or done but you know I say, Everyone put on their big girl panties now and play nice lol You have done a superiour job here, and I certainly would not want to have to try and fill your shoes. You have displayed patience, understanding, empathy, tolerance, graciousness, respect, and genuine love. Now even though of late I have not joined in on any of the assignments I know for a fact if you gave up being the Kween, this whole Kween Blog would shatter and fall apart once and for all. I think also one of the reasons people joined it is because of YOU. We all hurt people's feeling from time to time and we don't mean to but it's life and happens and truth is KK a real and true friend will forever forgive :) Now no more beating yourself up over this cause I said it before and I will say it again, even though some of us don't participate as much as we could or should, you are always loved and cherished. :) xoxox Tynee
Posted 8/30/2008 at 8:27 PM by TyneeGrannyB

I have to agree with everyone else - WE all know you don't have any intentions or desires to hurt anyones feelings. I'm glad you're back as well and I full intend to participate in coming challenges! Three cheers for Kween_of_the_Queens.

Hip Hip Hooray!

@endlesssummer128 - Thank you my friend, I know I can always count on you!

@venice - Coming soon!

@buckeyegirl31 - It probably is, but I knew the situation and perhaps should have been more sensitive.  But thank you.

@VersaGratis - That may not happen, but we can hope, thank you for your support!

@TheCheshireGrins - Truer words have not been spoken!

@Ladyblue - Thank you sweet Lady, I understand.

@Lmoisan - Not so much me, but the "others" that I may have hurt is the part that hurt me.  Some lessons are rough ones.

@thereluctantsinger - I suspect that you are 100% correct on that count!  Thank you for always being supportive.

@FourthChance - I'm grateful you didn't leave and even more grateful that I can be a part of your online friends!  Thank you so much for so much participation and so many interesting blogs!  And mostly, you are always ready with a supportive attitude!  It is MOST appreciated!

@kirby1960 - Oh trust me, I'm giving it my best shot!

@vjgunkel59 - Glad you're looking forward to them...now if I can just think of some! ;^)

@arminus9 - And THAT simple statement made me smile even more!

@BlueCollarGoddess - I actually agree with you regarding "touching a raw nerve."  In fact, I'm sure that's exactly what happened.  Thank you for the insight and don't ever worry about Blah  gging too long on my comments, I love it!

@OneScottishLass - I'm looking forward to reading your responses!

@azcason - Ah shucks!

@TyneeGrannyB - And that is why I love you!

Posted 8/31/2008 at 3:38 AM by Kween_of_the_Queens

@Stanelle - Thank you, it was enlightening, but I don't want to compare myself with that particular "trouble maker" :)

@heidicindy - Thank you!  Glad you are too!

Posted 8/31/2008 at 3:40 AM by Kween_of_the_Queens

I am in the dark about what happened, but you have done a wonderful job with the ring and I hope you will not stop. It takes a lot of time to do what you do, and I appreciate it, as obviously many others do too!

I don't know what happened, but I do know that sometimes hurt feelings just happen. Most of us do the best we can and try to help and get along, and it usally works...some times it doesn't. And we have to get over it. That is life, online and in person.

Posted 9/1/2008 at 1:15 PM by LIF1955

Kween's Challenge 2008-15 - Tuesday August 12, 2008

MiLords and MiLadies,

Welcome to our 15th challenge of the year!  This one should be an easy one, and possibly an obvious one for all of you!  I'm hoping that this challenge will be less of a challenge and more of just a fun blog this time!

My question to you is this:

Why did you pick your Xanga blog name?

Is it your first one or did you change it?    If you've changed it, tell us why and let us know why you felt you needed to change it, what did you change it from and why did you choose the first name, or however many names you've had?  Is there a reason behind everyone of them?  Let us in on why you've chosen them and  your current name!

You have until August 15th to complete this challenge.

Remember, those who participate have taken the time to join in this challenge so PLEASE make it a point to comment on each site!  Give stars!  And if you think the post is really great and bears sharing, then by all means, recommend it!

MUST DO's

You MUST have your entry put on PUBLIC.  You MUST link to either this site or the blog ring.  You MUST come back to this site to let me know that you have posted for this challenge, I will then link to your entry.  HERE is a link to making links with words if you don't know how to do it, just follow the link, it's really easy.

This is fascinating. I just did a post about my Xanga username earlier this week. In fact it is the most current post on my site right now. I am thinking about changing my name
Posted 8/1/2008 at 2:23 PM by radicalramblings
Posted 8/1/2008 at 1:3 PM by silkenbutterfly

My Xanga site is a mirror site of a site I have at LiveJournal, so naturally I used the same username I have there.  As for why I chose the username, I did it to combine two of my passions -- chocolate and science fiction.

By the way, the Xanga site is most definitely a work in progress.  I'm in the process of copying older entries from LiveJournal.

I would do this one, except I recently changed my username and already explained why. I think people are tired of hearing why I'm an UberGoobah instead of Uber_ghey.

I didn't really say why I changed it. I think I just grew tired of the other one and was ready for a change.

Hi - hope you can add my post.   V

Btw - love the Frangipani background.   Frangipani's are my favourite flowers.

@Kween_of_the_Queens - Oh wow - they really look like frangipani's and are very similar in appearance.   Do they have a scent/perfume...?  

I have just googled plumeria and they are also known as frangipani.   Probably just what us Aussie's call them.   I am so very very very jealous that you have a plant and it has flowered.   Where I live (Canberra) it is far too cold/frost in winter to be able to grow them.

In my case, my user name is the title of my site.  My first choice was simply "Janus," but it was unavailable.

@venice - Ha!  I wondered after I wrote that if they weren't ALSO known as frangipani!   It's taken 2 years for this one to bloom.  We had one before this one that never bloomed and was actually killed in one of the rare frosts that we had here in So. Calif.   I was just so jazzed that it DID bloom FINALLY!  After they bloomed I had to smell them so I bent down and took a good wiff.  They smell very nice, but it's such a light, faint odor.  Very nice, but not nearly as concentrated as the perfume's are that claim to be plumeria!~Kween

@venice - Actually, those are plumeria flowers.  They finally bloomed after having the plant for about 2 years and I just had to grab a picture of them!
