no nice title this time, cause today SUCKED
Wow, I've had the worst day since I got here. It's all my fault too, so it's not like I can be mad at anyone but me. Here's what happened, everything was FINE until Orlando (my uncle's...husband?), my uncle, and I went to see The Village, that new M. Night Shyamalan movie. To begin with, Orlando didn't want to see the movie because the critics had said it wasn't very good. I don't believe in taking anything the critics say seriously, I actually HATE critics and going to see movies because they got 4 stars or whatever. I hate that. The problem is that Orlando IS a critic. He is a fucking critic. So um, yeah...we've gotten along until this far. We were talking about the movie afterwards, while we were driving to Chili's to get something to eat. Orlando and I were discussing M. Night's work, he didn't like it, I did. He was putting The Village up to very high expectations, like The Sixth Sense and other films he's made before. I told him it was unfair to compare them like that, because it throws the scale off. The thing that ticks me off about Orlando is that he talks like he is ALWAYS right, his opinion is the only one that is right and valid and everyone else is completely wrong unless they agree with him. He tries to change your opinion, so... it went something like this:
Orlando: No, it's not like that, you have to-
me: (interrupting) Wait, wait, let's stop right there. I don't want to argue about this, okay? We all have different opinions because we are all allowed to have our own opinions, right? So please, let's just move on, next subject.
Orlando: *stops talking to me altogether...FOR HOURS up to this point*
But while we were talking, we weren't really being nasty. I was saying that in all friendliness, I just didn't want to argue because with him it always ends to everyone else being wrong. No one can end the conversation but him. He took it as I was just telling him to shut up, so later, while we were eating and being silent, my uncle tried to get him to talk again and he just said that he never wanted to talk about The Village again. That's just a little immature, isn't it? JUST A TAD BIT? >_< I tried to apologize, but no-go, he wouldn't talk to me. He still hasn't talked to me, all day pretty much. It's a really stupid thing to be mad about, but what do I know? Maybe he'll get over it by tomorrow or something, because if he's going to have a grudge against me for life, well that's just too bad because it's not THAT BIG OF A DEAL. Holy shit. Why are some people so sensitive about everything? Orlando is always getting mad anyway, he's always mad at someone, today it just happened to be me. In any case, it threw me off and I've spent the whole day avoiding him...which was just great. Just great.
