Friday Amanda gave me a note. I wrote a response to it, but I didn't see her for the rest of the day, so I couldn't give it to her.
I was just going to wait until Monday, but after she wrote that lj post, I figured I'd just post it here.
So,
I'm sorry if you're mad at me because of chorus, but I think a few things need to be cleared up. We asked, even begged, you to come with us, and for some reason you refused. Why you said no, I don't know. YOu siad that you wanted to study , but as I saw it it was a lot quieter in Mr. Roy's room than in that chorus room. Excuse me for not wanting to sit around and watch numerous people making asses of themselves while singing (badly). That doesn't scream "stay here" or "this is a good place to study". It does, however, scream "sudden migraine". So I left. And when Jen and I came back, we wanted you to come with us again. And again, you said no. I assumed it was because you wanted to study alone. Why would you want us by you if you were studying for French? When I have things to do I isolate myself so that I can get them done, because when I'm around other people I just get distracted. So I figured that was your reason for not coming. It was really the only sensible reason there was. And now you get mad at us for leaving. Your reasoning really has no logic. If you wanted to stay and study why would you want us there, we wouldn't have been of any help to you. And if you didn't want to study, then why didn't you go with us? Even if you had wanted to study, you still could have come with us.
You also felt the need to claim how only Ruth is your true friend. If we didn't care, then why did we spend all that time trying to convince you to come with us? You make it sound like you were completely unable to join us and we didn't want you to come anyway. You say that you've been ditched, well maybe so. But both sides contributed to the 'ditching'. We wanted to leave to go do something a little more interesting than watch people attempt to play the piano. You just as easily could have gone with us. But you didn't. It was your choice to stay behind. WE didn't like it, but we figured whatever. If you hadn't had a choice, and was forced to stay in the chorus room, I would have fully recognized your anger. But under those conditions we wouldn't have left in the first place. But it was your choice, and if you had really wanted to be with us you would have come.
If you want to continue to be pissed about this, then that's fine. But please think of a more rational reason for you anger, or at least one that I can understand better, please. One that I wouldn't mind apologizing for.
