Served Best With a Slice of Punk Rock
I invited Nick to go see ALD yesterday to which he responded (the day before) that he might be too tired to attend. I was feeling that he was blowing me off since two previous times I invited him out he used the same excuse. I became upset because I thought we were supposed to remain friends and wasn't sure if we were just saying that.
Well Nick did show up at the concert last night. It was nice to see him although it was a bit awkward. Nick wouldn't stop talking about Angela (new gf), which was strange. He told me she's into twilight and action movies (complete opposite of Nick). Finally when I'd heard enough about Angela and how Nick wants to take her to Mexico I snapped at him "you're welcome. If it were not for me you wouldn't have had the courage to ask any girl out and you wouldn't have a passport or a desire to ever leave the country". I think I may have also told Nick that when I meet Angela on Saturday that I'm going to introduce myself, tell her "you're welcome" and go talk to other people. I realize this was a bit irrational of me, but I had consumed several beers and was irritated by all the Angela talk. I'm not really planning to be an asshole to Nick's new gf.
It's interesting to me though because Nick was telling my sister and I that he's realized he's a neat freak. This irked me because he wasn't like that when I lived with him. I guess it amazes and hurts me that he suddenly feels compelled to have all the traits that he didn't have when he was with me.
I also mentioned to Nick that I missed being his friend, not that I expect to talk to him every day or anything. He told me that he should tell some of his other friends to tell me what it's like to be his friend. I basically told him that if he wasn't going to make the effort that I'm not either. He said "oh you and you're revenge" to which I responded that "it has nothing to do with revenge". In my opinion a friend is someone who cares enough about you to want to know how you are doing and it is reciprocal. Anything outside of that is an acquaintance. I'm not going to invite Nick to functions or try to be friends with him if it is one sided.
My sister had four beers and was a little loopy during the night. She invited Nick to my nephew's laser tag outing with Brian and I. Nick said he would try to make it. I kinda wish that she hadn't invited him because now I feel like I need space.
It was fun overall. I enjoyed going out with my sister to see the A.L.D. show.
