Why I prefer computers to people
This is a conversation between me and one of my (quite recently former) friends on Facebook. It was probably long overdue for this to happen.
Kevin
there've been days when i've had panic attacks hourly
today i wnet almost the whole day without one.
and have yet to break down sobbing uncontrollably. it's a good day!

do you have a plan?
to make your life better
10:38pmKevin
yes. it involves 3 midgets, jell-o, and winning the lottery. WTF?
10:42pmKevin
what kind of question was that?
seriously. I'd really like you to answer that.
I'm surprisingly not angry, but our friendship hinges on what you say next.
10:45pmKevin
Do you think I don't spend hours each day trying to improve the track my life is on? That I don't spend hours agonizing over the choices I'm making and need to make? Do you, in your heart of hearts, believe that I deserve what's happening to me?
10:49pmThomas
I dont agree with the way your handling the situation at all, but I AM NOT GOING TO ARGUE WITH YOU! I can get just a nasty and shitty as you can and I am so sick of your outbursts...I am trying to be a friend to you...so you had better back the fuck up and give me respect that you would extend to someone you call your friend. Because I Dont need to added stress in my life. No I dont think anyone deserves what is happening to you. But what the hell do you think is going to happen with no income, and you dont go out and do something about it. I keep trying to get you to do something and you refuse. What else can anyone do? giving you money is not the answer either. You have to make your own way.
10:50pmKevin
Where did I get nasty?
Where did I ask you or anyone for money?
10:50pmThomas
your crappy, crass, response to my question about you having a plan
and do not try to get out of it
10:51pmKevin
fuck off tom.
we're done.
have a beautiful life.
10:51pmThomas
