Some people aren't as bad as they seem... Find it in your hearts not to be a bitch.
So I talked to a few kids I haven't talked to in a long time... two kids of which will spark a laugh from most of as I mention their names... Good old Alex Cuevas and Dan Entwistle. Two kids of which were the subject of much poking fun, and sometimes all-out verbal abuse.
--------------------------------
Alex Cuevas had IMed me early at the summer, talking about nub shit, and eventually the conversation evolved into him telling me about an amazing girl he met. Now we all know what it means when Alex meets a girl, and most of us think of one thing: "SNAKE EYES". But he insisted this girl was gorgeous, and offered to send me a picture of her, which I graciously accepted. To my surprise, a picture of an amazingly hot, spicy latina came up, complete with seductive smile, and a voluptuous set of boobs and ass. "Tiffiny" was her name, and he spoke good things about her. I thought finally Alex had hit the jackpot, and I was proud.
Now let about 2 months pass, bring me to Hawaii and back, party hardy here and there in FoCo, sit me down on the comp, and let loose an IM from Scotty 2 Hotty.
After talking to Scotty Bumpkin for a little bit, he jokingly tells me about how Dustin (his roommate from 2nd semester) and his friend Watkins (some stupid air force faggot, i dont think many of you met him) made a fake screenname, and had been fucking around with Alex, telling him that "she" was going to live with him in Gabaldon, and that she wanted to party with him. They had even gone so far as to invite him to meet "her" somewhere in Glendale, and Alex went, only to be met with the rough Arizonan summer. When Scotty told me this, I laughed my goddamn ass off. I couldn't believe Alex had fallen for this, and I immediately just thought "if you're dumb enough to fall for it, then I approve."
Tonight Alex IMed me for the first time in a while. I had actually kind of forgotten about the whole situation, and he just asked to see how I was doing. I talk idly with him for a bit, and then he tells me this:
AFguitarBoy84 (11:31:18 PM): ohh btw, tiffiny is still saying how excited she is for school to start so we can be in the same dorm
Suddenly I felt really, really bad for the kid. And I thought to myself, this kid hasn't done jack shit to deserve this. Worst thing he ever did was have sex with a horrid looking girl, and... give us alcohol? I know he gave me a shitload of tequila and rum on numerous occasions. I didn't want this kid to be humiliated by those two air force rotc regtards, and you know what? When was the last time you met a kid like Alex, who you can bet your life on the fact he will never turn against you, never talk shit about you, or ever narc on you about anything? He's a genuinely good kid, granted the fact he plays Kingdom Hearts and is kind of a fruit sometimes. But I wasn't going to let his own niavety break his little heart.
So I told him. I told him the girl was fake, and that Dustin and Watkins had set the whole thing up. Scott told me not to tell, but hey dude, I guess just don't ever trust me with something that I might find morally wrong again. And Alex was gracious. Told me about 5 times how much of a "good friend" I was to him. All in a days work for one of the last little socially uncorrupted kids in this country.

After a heated discussion with a Charmander earlier last week, I had gotten a missed call from "DONT ANSWER ITS A FAG!" That caller ID tag was for none other than Dan Entwistle. I immediately thought he was calling to talk some shit, but I just let it go.
Today Dan IMed and talked to me for the first time since we left NAU. I remember I had shaken his hand the morning he left and said "Sorry about all the bullshit". Last words.
I thought it must have taken some amount of wit to IM me, because if I were him, I would have thought either A) I wouldn't respond to him, or B) I would respond with some all-out flaming bitchiness. But when he IMed me, I was sort of glad, because it let me know he wasn't pissed at me anymore (Lord fucking knows he was). We talked about stupid bullshit like usual at first, mainly about DOD (I know he doesn't know shit about World War II, but I guess that shouldn't be enough reason to hate someone...). Then I asked him why he had called me the other night, and he said that one of his friends had taken his phone and called me (yeah, right). I didn't question it. Then he curiously added "i got your message"
Now that night, I was DRUNK as fuck. We took party cups mixed 50% Apple Juice, 50% Everclear. Two of those cups I drank, I was officially wasted.
So I asked him what I had said, and he told me it was just drunken talk, about how I wasn't pissed at him anymore, and how he shouldn't be pissed at me. I don't remember saying anything like that to him because I was so rediculously trashed, but I've no doubt that it happened. So we talked about our darker times, and I kind of realized the only reason the kid was ever a bitch to me, is because I was a huge ass to him. I stole his girlfriend, and totally fueled the fire that broke them up, and he was so completely blinded by wanting her back so bad that he hated me (I would). I pretty much fucked up their relationship (no matter how good it was), and I could have easily helped them out with it, but whatever. It's over, I learned.
He invited me to come to his fabled apartment and drink sometime, but that probably can't happen. I've been through too much shit with that kid to probably ever be friends with him again. Shameful.
--------------------------------
Anyway I guess the point of this post is that I've sometimes used stupid things and blown them out of proportion to cause someone to have a bad rep on our floor. I remember Dan used to fit in with us at the beginning of the year, when I was friends with him. And then slowly, as I started to dislike him more, everyone else did too. I don't think it was coincidence, mostly just my fault. Think of it what you may, but that's my take. I guess it's hard sometimes to have someone not to talk shit about, we're pretty used to it. I'll just try and workz on itz.
--------------------------------
On a lighter note, FoCo has been dying down a bit. Nothing but small get togethers and light shindigs. We went and partied a lil bit at some random kid's house friday night, and I threw some serious man charm on the owner of the house and pulled jack moves on all the nub's beer. After there was a serious chill session, and I had to leave for a Radioshack meeting in fucking Denver. I didn't sleep all night, and didn't even get to sleep until around 3:30 last night. It was nearly 50 hours without sleep, and things were intense. Last night I went and chilled with my man J.C.'s girly friend, who was house sitting for his parents. I invited a few of the crew over, and we just chilled and did nothing for a while. Then I pimped that girl Becca into buying me Wendy's, like I do almost every night. Someday I'll pay her back. Maybe. Nah.
