why is it ....

that we treat the one's we love with less respect than strangers we don't even know. here i am complaining about how a certain person has no concideration for others and always imposes one's self on others all the time, when i myself am a culprit of this lude behavior! I was going to watch SAW tonight, but I'm not, and i don't have any regrets or don't feel bad that I'm not gonna watch that movie. I imposed myself on this friend. I just planned my night assuming that this person would give me a ride. Here's what happened.

I was bored and was talking to Joe. We had decided to go out, and we were talking, I remember him iming me soemthing to the effect of "let's go out, i'll pick you up". and i had said no at first, but then changed my mind. Then Ceazar called me, and asked if I wanted to watch a movie, SAW. And i said yes, how'm i gonna get there. i thought he was gonna say joe was gonna pick me up, since joe im'd me "let's go out, i'll pick you up".and then ceazar told me that this one friend was going to drive me. and so, i call the friend to make sure that they were down with it. but i was wrong. this friend, had no idea that they were gonna drive me at all. so this person believes that i was the one who planned that they were going to take me, when in actuallity i wasn't! but still, the point is that the night was planned that way.

Then there's this other friend whom I never call and haven't seen much lately. And one time I went to one of our good friends house without inviting this friend. See, and the thing is, this friend whom I have offended misses the friend whom I visited with the friend who imposes all the time.

Ok, here's my lame excuse for this situation: I honsstly thought that she was at home. I never call this friend, which is a very unfriendly thing to do, and it didn't even cross my mind to call this friend........OMG! That's it. That's what my mistake was. I, who is supposed to be this person's friend, didn't even THINK to call.

I TREAT MY FRIENDS LIKE SHIT! What is WRONG with me!!! These are the people who make my life just this much easier to bear., and how do i show that i apprecite them? by treating them LIKE SHIT!

Then there's this other friend who goes to the same college as me. I'm supposed to be bestfriends with her, but i never even see her, AT ALL. I've known her since the 5th grade, and we've basically grown up together, but i don't even see her, or make some time for her. I didcall her the other day, so i don't feel too bad. But the thing is I treat all of my close bestfriends this way. I barely even spoke to this other bestfriend i have, who is also bestfriends with the one who goes to my college. I think i spoke to her twice. Then there's my other bestfriend in PA who is also bestfriends withthe other two i mentioned. And i barely talk to her too! man, i feel like i jsut cried, but i didn't. i think i'm jsut getting sleepy. So, if you're my friend, I can understand if you wanna dump me as one, cuz i'm a sucky friend. but before you do, at least give me a chance to redeem myself. Here is my mission:

1) I will be more courteous
2) I will call you at least once a month
3) I will try to call you once a week
4) I will definitely call you on holidays
5) I will set an hour aside for friends, not just the ones i hang out with, everyday
6) I will be more respectful
7) I will keep my promises and stick with what I say I'm going to do
