Since apparently some people don't like seeing just my few, scattered Twitter tweets (trust me, guys, I have seen far worse), I've decided to make a real post. I know, right? "Holy crap, a real post? Are you kidding? She almost NEVER does those, nowadays!" :-P
So,
acid_inferno,
terioncalling and I went to Atlanta recently. Originally, we were supposed to be going for the Georgia Renaissance Festival, but our fourth member (and the person who was supposed to buy the group ticket) ended up not being able to go. So, we decided not to go to the Ren Fest, but still go out to see friends, because we really needed to get away from MS for a while. Too much stress, y'know?
So, we went out there, and we met Kyo, Metta, Saykori, and one of Kyo and Metta's friends, Christiana (did I spell that right,
acid_inferno?) I've known Kyo for a decent while, and I'd heard about Metta every now and again for a while, too. Saykori was a recent acquaintance of mine on Wajas, and we became friends rather quickly. She's just as fun in person as she is online, and I feel kind of sad that I haven't been able to talk to her much since we got back, 'cause
acid_inferno and I have been really, really busy writing our book. We're on chapter nineteen! That, and 'kori herself has been a bit busy.
Thanks to Wajas, I've almost completely stopped going to Dragon Cave and the Global Pokédex site. I feel kind of bad, because there are some cool people that I met 'cause of it, but at the same time, pertaining to DragCave itself, I was getting a little annoyed at how TJ was running things, and for GPX+, well.... it was really hard to keep up, sometimes.
Oh! While we were in Atlanta,
acid_inferno broke up with her boyfriend. See, he'd been a real dick, and was trying to make her schedule time between hanging out with me and hanging out with him, because he didn't want to have to "put up" with me, all because I'd had one argument with him, and it was a necessary argument, telling him how much of an ass he'd been to Sophia and trying to show him that he could improve if he'd just try. Well, the day after the argument (which Sophia was present for), he called her and told her he didn't want to have to spend time with her while I was around. So, she ended up not seeing him for close to three weeks, because we'd been writing, and then she was in Columbus visiting her parents, and then we were in Atlanta, and now I'm back with her again for some more writing. He was whining because he couldn't see her, and did this while we were in Atlanta. Finally, she was just like "If you love me as much as you say you do and want to see me as much as you claim, then you'll come to see me no matter who is here" (which is how it's supposed to work, as far as I know), and he was all "No, I don't want to have to put up with Jeri" and stuff like that. Well, they argued for a good long while. I swear, I think the conversation lasted about three or four phone calls, all of which he ended up sounding like a pathetic, immature moron, until he finally did the one thing he shouldn't have done.
When
acid_inferno was trying to make him see that he should just come to see her no matter if I'm there or not, and that I'd leave after a few hours if he was civil and stuff (which I would've; after all, I've done it before, and it was my own apartment that I was leaving, back then, just so they could have some alone time) he kept going on and on and on about how I wouldn't do that, because he wouldn't do that. Of course, he'd say he'd just forgotten about it, because his memory is oooooh so bad.
Sidetrack for a moment: his memory is bad? Yeah right. He has selective memory. He only wants to remember the things that he feels are important, which don't happen to be anything that I've ever said or done, or apparently, over half of what
acid_inferno has told him during their numerous arguments. And yet he can remember exactly where to go and what to do in every Metal Gear Solid game. Uh..... your memory is bad? Pfft. Yeah right.
Anyway, back to the original topic. So, they were arguing like this for a good long while, and lo and behold, the idiotic dickhead said the magic words. When
acid_inferno said "I am not scheduling time between the two of you", you know what he said?
"Well, I guess you're going to have to leave one of us, then."
Now, I was in the kitchen getting a drink when this was said, and before I could even get out the words "Did he just say what I think he just said?" she'd hung up on him so fast that I'm not even sure the phone registered it right away.
And then.... THEN! He dared to go "So I guess this means you're leaving me, then"...... uh.... DUH! You just did the one thing she warned you to never to do, and that was force her to choose between a friend she's known for almost 8 years, and a boyfriend she's known for 8 months.
When she told him "I told you never to make me choose", he just went "k" (how dumb a response is that? Seriously. Ugh.) and then, she'd taken the battery out of her phone so she wouldn't have to deal with him anymore that night. When she put the battery back in and such, she had another message from him. "Unless you say otherwise, and as far as I'm concerned, we're no longer together." ...... yeah, because he totally has the right to sound all high-and-mighty, like he didn't do anything wrong. Trying to make it out to be her fault for the break-up.
Okay, this is how bad of an asshole he really is. HIS OWN FRIENDS like her better than they like him, and have said so. Why? Because he's got no real friends anymore, 'cause he's been a douchebag to all of them. After all, he only keeps friends if they're useful to him. That's no way to treat a friend. Ugh.
Oh, and one last thing.... apparently, he quit liking me around Thanksgiving, but has given no reason as to why, though I do have some theories. But I won't mention them right now, 'cause they are, after all, just theories. But what kills me is that he treated me like we were okay, and I didn't start getting annoyed at him over stupid shit until February. So he was pretending to be my friend for so long. I hate pretenders. You're either my friend or you aren't. If you don't like me, then say so, and I'll still be civil to you. I only treat assholes badly. And I'm only bitchy if you act like an asshole to me or in front of me. Pfft. Otherwise, I'm not all that bad. How else would I have as many good friends as I do?
Anyway, now that the gleeful ranting is out of my system.... XD
Back to normal. There might be a normal post soon. Wheee.
