How old are we?
I have so much to say, but I'm so astonished that I can't even come up with words to explain the childish behavior that I just witnessed from someone OLDER than me.
Unless someone is harrassing you online, blocking is for high schoolers
Calling someone a "bad friend" because they don't always return your phone calls is rediculous. I HATE phones and I hardly every answer mine and I hate voice messages and if I had my way I wouln't have a cell phone but it's a necessary evil in the business world. I wish I could just have the internet/texting part of my phone so I wouldn't have to deal with people like this. ANYONE who is REALLY my friend can testify to my detest of phones and knows that the best way to get a hold of me is email/text. My cell phone is ALWAYS on aim and if it's important people can count on me to get a message. Example: a sister sends out an email about another sister in the hospital; I was there in less than an hour. HOwever, if it's "hey just calling to chat" or "hey there's a party tonite" and it's the next day, that's not really urgent and I"m sorry if a test or family drama got in the way of a return "courtesy call." Or sure, we'll even talk about my bad memory and how I have to write everything down in my planner in order to remember it or save it as an appt or reminder on my MDA.. once again, my close friends know this. Look at how many times I've forgotten something with Elyse since she lives so far away; however, birthdays, random chats about important boy issues and illnesses, and I"m there.
Do people NOT understand that, if everytime time you DO talk to someone, you bitch about how you never talk, they're not going to want to hang out with you? I don't need grief from you about how busy I am.
I WISH I had more time to my friends, heck I NEED more time with my FAMILY; but like I said, those who really ARE my friends know that this is just MY LIFE. I'm trying to keep a 4.0 grad school GPA while paying for everything on my own and working 40 hours a week. However, if succeeding and getting me where I want to be means I have to miss a couple parties at gators, then like i said, my real friends will be forgiving.
Not only that, but if you ask someone online "hey whatcha been up to" and they say "jsut hanging out", that's probably because you don't REALLY care about what they've been up to and they know that so they don't go into detail. When Danni or Jamie ask what I"m up to, it can go into a 20 minute schpeal about JUST today because they care.
NOT ONLY THAT, trying to make ends meet is difficult and i'm ALWAYS short on money so the tolls and drive/gas is not good on my wallet. ONCE AGAIN, my REAL friends know this struggle. How do they know? I tell my real friends or they ASK; they take the time to get to KNOW me and what's going on in my life...
But you got it right, if you can't see how ANY of these things are more important than your so called "courtesy call" back, then you REALLY don't need me as a friend and please do yourself a favor and consider me to be a bad friend and keep me blocked or of your friends list *whatever* for someone who will put u at the center of their universe.
