[Friends] And Then They Blocked Me...

Matt and Don are both pissed at me now. At this point, given the shit going on in my life right now, I am trying to decide if I care.

This issue with Don is one of the title "best friend". Apparently I am not allowed to have more than one best friend now. On June 6th I wrote I was trying to get a hold of my two best friends in Toronto, Seb & Jeff. He told me that he felt like all the times he stood by me meant nothing. I sent back an IM stating that I had more than one “best friend” but instead of actually talking to me, he simply blocked me on AIM. Some best friend I guess.

Excuse me? Last I knew "best friend" was not an exclusive title. I can have one or one hundred best friends. That is my choice. If that is the way he feels then so be it. I have got enough stress and problems in my life that I do not have the time to deal with this especially since I have to be in court next week in Detroit (Note: I will have a big write-up on that once the matter is settled).

And people wonder why I run to Toronto in the first place.

Toronto is the issue of the fight with Matt. He is angry with me because since he moved to Chicago, I have not visited him at all and I have gone to Toronto for four planned trips including the one two weekends ago. I do not count the one last August since literally it was a twenty-minute IM conversation with Jeff to let him know the final stuff for his immigration had arrived at my apartment that day and within an hour I was on the road to hand-deliver them.

But more importantly I have my own reasons for going to Toronto. First of all it is my sanctuary. The place I go where I want to forget the troubles I have in the US. I go there, hang out with friends and for that brief time I have no cares or worries. Additionally, I was also meeting another friend up there I met playing Star Wars Galaxies and ended up having a blast with her, her boyfriend, and their one-year-old son.

I know in some cases it is just jealousy. Matt has a legitimate case because I have to admit that I have been neglectful in not visiting him and I do apologize. However I will not apologize for having more than one best friend.
