*shakes head, smirking*
You know, I've noticed something of a trend where my social life is concerned. It's almost like every member of it takes turns pissing me off, and drawing out my ire toward them. *sighs, shaking his head* It all gets resolved, to be sure, but it seems as though with each passing revolution on this particular cycle, the arguments become more virulent, more hateful and destructive. Now, this is clearly in part due to my own reactions, and sometimes over-reactions, to things... However, I only take half the blame. After all, I wouldn't over-react if I wasn't fucked with.
So, as it sits, we've gone through Tremain, Sakura, and the Wookie. And currently, we're going through Skitch. Well, I've come to something of a decision at this point. I'm stopping this trend here. I think we can all be in agreement on the idea that, simply, if we're pissing one another off, there is no point in continuing contact, neh? I mean, I can't even count how many times I've heard, "I'm sorry man, it won't happen again..." in these past years. Really, it's getting old.
Now, this is not to say that I'm blameless... far from. But until someone brings to my attention my flaws and faults, I have no intention of changing them... As it sits, I seek only to change the way in which things are done in this group.
You see, for a long time, my iron-fisted tyranny worked. Everyone did as I requested on the simple grounds that I asked them to. No more. Now, I'm payed lip-service. "Yeah, I'll be there." No you weren't. "We should do this." No we didn't. "I'm sorry, it won't happen again." It did.
I'm changing my modus operandi... It's true, I've been endeavouring to be a kinder, more understanding sort... Difficult for one with a temper like mine, but such is the will of the Force. *smirks* I've long said I think before I feel, but where anger is concerned, it's quite the opposite. I intend on changing that.
I guess what I'm getting at is this... The rational solution to this current problem with Skitch is to simply remove him as an influence in my life, and me from his. This is not done out of any sense of malice or hate, or even anger anymore. No, it's out of common-sense and self-respect. I've been dissapointed too many times by this boy, and I'll not suffer long fools to exist in my midst.
