If you're pissed off about this, call me, I'm free all day tomorrowmaxxusFebruary 11 2004, 07:55:15 UTC
Hmm...I don't like this drama shit either, it's ultimately pointless. It's not you more than any of the others, it's all of you. The "beef" is not with any invidual person, it's you guys as a group; Jeannie has many of the same issues I do, fyi.
Now then, as to the ticket issue:
When we spoke online yesterday afternoon, I told you that I was going to call you later in the evening. That's fine if you're unable to answer your phone, but it's customary, polite, and courteous to return someone's calls. You have a tendancy to not do that and to not respond to your IM's. Add to that the fact that you're asking me to buy over two hundred dollars worth of concert tickets for you, the very least I expect is a return of *my* phone call when I'm doing *you* a favor. Despite the issue from the weekend before last, I don't mind getting the tickets for you. However, I'll be damned if I'm going to be ignored when I try to fulfill that favor to you. I realize you're busy and stressed, but it isn't my responsibility; I am not your personal assistant. I'm more than willing to do you guys a favor because you're my friends and I care about you, but I expect a little reciprocation and some fucking communication. All of you guys that live in that apartment never goddamn communicate with each other, and not very often with Jeannie and myself either. That's really the root of this problem. This issue as a whole needs to be resolved because it's lame and not worth a bunch of strife and tension. I wouldn't even have known you had responded to my comment on here if I hadn't done a for-the-hell-of-it check of your LJ today because you *never called me back!* You haven't seen nasty comments from me yet, and I hope to christ this doesn't get to that point because to me the issue seems to have a very simple resolution.
So...tickets. I'll drop by tomorrow probably around 3'ish. Obviously 90 isn't 214, so what I'll do is get Eve6 tickets for you guys and if there's enough left over I'll get one or two for BNL. If Gabe is there and has money, I will of course be able to get a couple more. Other than that, BNL and Molly a month away, so there's time. We'll have Eve 6 tickets though, so that's taken care of.
Lastly, while there may be no other way that this could appear, I'm not going off on you, that wasn't my intent. I actually had to restrain myself considerably while still expressing the thoughts that I needed to express. If you're pissed off or upset at/with/about me, call me and we'll talk about it or go have coffee or something. I don't want to be upset with you guys any more than you all with me, however: it seems like half the time I hang out with you guys there's some kind of unexplained tension between at least two people, or one person and the group. The actual cause of the tension isn't as relevant as why it's always there, which is because you guys never communicate with each other. It's what I've observed, and I've held my tongue on the issue for months now. This all might seem like I'm just suddenly unleashing on you, but it isn't. It's build-up, and I'm just finally saying something about it. I am most certainly *not* blaming you exclusively for it. This last paragraph and my irritation over what happened two weeks ago isn't directed at you, it's all of you guys. The only reason you're the one getting this is because you're really the only member of the house I talk to on a semi-regular basis outside of the house. There's a line of communication there, so I'm taking advantage of it. The only reason this is in your LJ is because I don't know what your email address is, or even if you have one. The same goes for Brad, Jason and Gabe. For the last few months I've been seeing a build-up of issues which I expect will eventually lead to critical mass. I don't want to see that happen. Forgive me if I'm overreacting or seeming out of line, but I've needed to say all of this for a while. I'll talk to/see you tomorrow.

I really dislike being lumped into the single mass of "you guys" I am not the guys even though I live with them. Take a minute to look at it from my perspective I have no car not way to get around and if people want to come over I have to clear it with Jason and Brad otherwise they get nasty. I get the backlash when everyone leaves and they don't talk to me for days at a time unless I speak directly to them. I do my best to mantain comunnication with them and everyone else but sometimes it is hard.
As for the tickets I understand that you have gone out of your way to purchase them together and yes sometimes that can be a hard task I have had to do this in the past and it usually isn't pretty. I think we will all benifit from this though by difussing the ticketmaster fees by making large orders. If it is such a big problem we can just skip it but I am giving you what I have to give and in my best estimation I should honestly cover the price of tickets and if not I am more than willing to give you more money. As far as Gabe is concerned I see him for a very limited time everday and I don't always know what he is thinking or if he has the money that was promised.
As far as seeing you and Jeannie I would love to and so would Gabe but we have no way to get out and Jason and Brad rarely want to do anything. It is not that we are trying to exclude you the thing last week honestly happened as a mistake. I didn't even know what was going on until I got off of work showed up at the apartment and there was a party going on. It wasn't really planned the only party that I know about in the near future is UHP part 2 to be help March 5 as of right now. The only reason I know this is because I overheard Brad and Jeremy talking about it. So if you want back in the loop I would talk to the guy because I am almost in the same boat as you are the only difference being that they ask me for money about once a month

Well, I wish I could help to try and fix shit between all of you, it sucks that you're all at each other's throats. I didn't think the problem had progressed that far yet :/
No sweat with the tickets, I was just a little perturbed that you never called me back, I'll go get them all tomorrow though. If they're more than the 190 I'll spot the difference as long as it isn't huge. I'm around and have a lot of free time if you ever need to vent about stuff.
