Alright. More negativity.
I have had it up to HERE with rude people. What is it with everyone lately? People hanging up on me for no reason, people being downright offensive and insulting towards me completely out of the blue...
Seattle is getting on my nerves. People are uptight, cranky, and very unfriendly. My best friends are all home for the summer, and now I'm really beginning to feel the distance.
This weekend was somewhat rough- due to a drunken outburst (stemmed by frustration), and because of a good friend of mine who had a serious nervous breakdown. But, as of Monday evening, I thought things were heading back in a good direction.
Nope.
Erik and I had a great time on Monday, and a great conversation Tuesday evening on the phone (since we couldn't hang out in person), and then Wednesday evening came along...
He asked me the night before to call him after a meeting I had, which I did. I called him around 6, and since his phone was off, I left him a brief message. I signed on to AIM and there he was. So I started chatting with him... here is our conversation:
Robman56: hey hey
erykanspach: hi.
Robman56: i just left you a message
erykanspach: huh?
Robman56: i called your phone and left you a message....it didn't ring
erykanspach: oh. I didn't hear it - it is in my bag. s'probably still off from school.
erykanspach: sorry.
Robman56: no worries ;-)
erykanspach: I'm correcting.
Robman56: ahh
Robman56: can we chat on the phone for a sec?
erykanspach: what's up?
Robman56: i'm finished with stuff for the day :-)
erykanspach: I see.
erykanspach: well I have to correct and then the redo on my italian composition is due tomorrow so I'm not going to be done for a while.
erykanspach: :-(
erykanspach: btw - I got that teaching gig.
erykanspach: so I'm teaching thru August 19
Robman56: congrats!
Robman56: well can you take 5 min (or less) and call me?
Robman56: AIM is so impersonal
erykanspach: later perhaps.
erykanspach: I'm not in a very good mood and I'd hate to not be polite.
Robman56: 2 minutes??
Robman56: 1?
erykanspach: please stop.
erykanspach: you're aggravating me and I told you I'm in a bad mood.
Robman56: wow
Robman56: i really did not deserve that
Robman56: i'm sorry your in a bad mood...i just wanted to chat for a sec
Robman56: i would think that's a positive thing

Apparently I'm aggravating. I guess I just figured when you're in a relationship with someone, and they're in a bad mood, you should attempt to cheer them up- thus me egging him on to call me. Not in this case. He completely insulted me, and then signed off. I haven't heard from him since.
What I find most baffling, is that he was the one who had asked me to fucking call him. Even if my mother had died 2 hours before our conversation, I would never have been so fucking rude. Not to him- not to anyone. I do not deserve to be treated like such shit.
Is he ever going to call and apologize? I'm forced to be completely miserable until he decides to actually make effort to call.
I FUCKING hate people right now.
