LimbaughFan001: anycase, your favor?
UsAli46276: there is alot of flooding in that area
UsAli46276: be careful
UsAli46276: actually, I wanted to talk about something
LimbaughFan001: ok
UsAli46276: I want you to read something
LimbaughFan001: you want to talk about something after i read somethign?
UsAli46276: it's the cause of a big arguement
UsAli46276: and the result as well
UsAli46276: it's annotated from the other person's position
LimbaughFan001: ok
LimbaughFan001: is this a file?
LimbaughFan001: or what?
UsAli46276: it's an AIM conversation, but it's online...I'll link you
LimbaughFan001: ok
UsAli46276:
http://www.livejournal.com/users/twystidmynd/187290.html#cutid1LimbaughFan001: brb
UsAli46276: ok
LimbaughFan001: back
UsAli46276: ok
LimbaughFan001: going to read now
UsAli46276: ok
LimbaughFan001: ok
LimbaughFan001: read it
UsAli46276: ok
UsAli46276: what do you think...
LimbaughFan001: why are you still talking to him?
UsAli46276: I'm not...
LimbaughFan001: like, why did you ever talk to him?
UsAli46276: oh
LimbaughFan001: because he's never been a pleseant person
LimbaughFan001: at least, thats my opinion
UsAli46276: that may be true...but I put up with it
UsAli46276: well, you know Reese?
LimbaughFan001: yes
LimbaughFan001: i remember him
UsAli46276: ok...well, I met Reese the summer between my Freshman and Sophomore year...
UsAli46276: we rode the same bus
UsAli46276: anyhow, I was feeling a bit alone during that summer b/c I felt all my friends had gone away
LimbaughFan001: ok
UsAli46276: so Reese and I became good freinds
UsAli46276: anyhow, Reese introduced me to David as soon as the regular semester started...and I thought that David was kind of interesting, but always was more inclined to hang out with Reese and just find that David was there...
UsAli46276: in other words my opinion was neutral
UsAli46276: toward David
LimbaughFan001: ok
UsAli46276: anyhow, David invited me and Reese to play D&D sometime in Junior year
LimbaughFan001: right
UsAli46276: I fell in love with D&D
LimbaughFan001: i remember
LimbaughFan001: you tried to get me into it
UsAli46276: and David was the only person, aside from his father, that I knew who played D&D
UsAli46276: i.e. who could organize D&D
LimbaughFan001: gotcha
UsAli46276: so, I was dependant on David for that b/c his dad intimidated me
UsAli46276: anyhow, the years passed and we continued playing D&D
UsAli46276: and, out of the goodness of my heart, I gave him rides home afterschool
UsAli46276: anyhow, I graduated, but the D&D stuff continued as normal
LimbaughFan001: right
UsAli46276: so, then David went off to college and I took over DMing his campaign, to continue it for everyone else's benefit...
LimbaughFan001: ok
UsAli46276: and I occassionally allowed David to play during Winter Break and whenever he visited his 15-year-old girlfreind
UsAli46276: in Tampa
UsAli46276: also a member of our D&D group
LimbaughFan001: ok
UsAli46276: anyhow, by the end of the school-year I was getting burnt out by preparing D&D b/c it's not an easy thing to do
UsAli46276: so, I asked him to take over, and this is the Sirosa thing that you heard about
UsAli46276: and I guess that is a brief history of my relationship with David
UsAli46276: anyhow, that's what happened
LimbaughFan001: well
LimbaughFan001: it sounds to me
LimbaughFan001: he was confrontational from the very beginning
UsAli46276: and, now I'm kind of regretting it b/c I consider myself pretty close to his girlfreind
LimbaughFan001: well
UsAli46276: he probably blames me for "messing up" his campaign, as well as preventing us from playing all summer
LimbaughFan001: well
LimbaughFan001: that being the case
LimbaughFan001: he was already mad at you from the git go
UsAli46276: and he and his gf are almost inseperable
LimbaughFan001: well, for your happiness, you need to just stay away from them both
LimbaughFan001: because if he sees you around her
LimbaughFan001: he'll get pissed
UsAli46276: why is that...
LimbaughFan001: and be even more of an ass than he already is
UsAli46276: I'm not a pedophile like him
LimbaughFan001: because he doesnt like you
UsAli46276: and he already knows that
LimbaughFan001: so it appears
UsAli46276: actually, before he began dating the girl, he asked me if I had an interest in her
UsAli46276: and I told him no
LimbaughFan001: right
LimbaughFan001: but that doesnt matter
LimbaughFan001: he's got something against you from what I see
UsAli46276: ok, well if I stay away from her, then that means no D&D at all for me
UsAli46276: and that is something that will be not cool for me
LimbaughFan001: well, is she always around when he is?
UsAli46276: not every single moment
UsAli46276: it's kind of hard from Jupiter
LimbaughFan001: have you played DD without him and her?
LimbaughFan001: together
UsAli46276: yeah
UsAli46276: that is what we would have to do
LimbaughFan001: sooooo, if i were you, find something elst you like to do
LimbaughFan001: because
LimbaughFan001: He was mad at you to begin with
LimbaughFan001: i mean
LimbaughFan001: just read the convo
LimbaughFan001: all you did was ask him a simple question
UsAli46276: did you read the rest?
LimbaughFan001: and he friggin goes off the wall
LimbaughFan001: his part at the bottome?
UsAli46276: yeah
LimbaughFan001: bottom?
LimbaughFan001: no i didn
LimbaughFan001: t
UsAli46276: maybe you should
LimbaughFan001: whats the link again?
UsAli46276:
http://www.livejournal.com/users/twystidmynd/187290.html#cutid1LimbaughFan001: ok
LimbaughFan001: got the impression
LimbaughFan001: hes very egotistical
LimbaughFan001: i mean, he thinks he's superior to others
LimbaughFan001: not worth your time
UsAli46276: that is true
UsAli46276: I can see how I may have overstepped my bounds
LimbaughFan001: anyone who thinks they know you better than you do yourself is a liar
LimbaughFan001: you didnt overstep your bouds
LimbaughFan001: bounds
LimbaughFan001: he's a jerk point blank
LimbaughFan001: and doesnt like you because you're not one of his elite
LimbaughFan001: and frankly dude, thats not worth your time
LimbaughFan001: he'll always find a way to belittle you to make sure his ego is in tact
LimbaughFan001: to make sure that he's above you
LimbaughFan001: superior to you
LimbaughFan001: when in reality, he's nothing
UsAli46276: do you think I act like he describes?
LimbaughFan001: he's no better or worse than anyone else
LimbaughFan001: please
LimbaughFan001: dont make me laugh
LimbaughFan001: you're umayer
LimbaughFan001: you're a unique person
LimbaughFan001: you have your strengths and weaknesses
LimbaughFan001: but far from being what he stated
LimbaughFan001: you're a smart and genuine person
LimbaughFan001: your social tack is far from refined however, thats not your focus in life
UsAli46276: true...
UsAli46276: thank you
LimbaughFan001: if you wanted to be the life of the party, the guy that everyone likes, and a fake person, then you could do it
UsAli46276: really, how satisfying would that be?
LimbaughFan001: but instead, you've got your head in the books, and your heart on your sleeve
LimbaughFan001: well, some people need it
LimbaughFan001: David on the other hand needs to be artificially inflated
LimbaughFan001: artificially loved
LimbaughFan001: he loves his 15 year old because she probably worships him
LimbaughFan001: admires him
LimbaughFan001: and as a form of flattery, takes on his mannerisms
LimbaughFan001: in which case she becomes acceptable to him
LimbaughFan001: because she mimics his every action which to him, is the only way to act
LimbaughFan001: i mean, listen to him
UsAli46276: well, I don't argee with that last statement about her
LimbaughFan001: "oh people come into publix and act such and such an age"
UsAli46276: she acted like that as soon as I met her
LimbaughFan001: wtf?
LimbaughFan001: well, that may be the case
UsAli46276: way before she got to know him
LimbaughFan001: she's probably taken on even more of that kind of role since
LimbaughFan001: but none the less
LimbaughFan001: she probably never stands up to him and probably does in one way or another "worship" david
LimbaughFan001: which is what he needs
LimbaughFan001: constant reassurance
LimbaughFan001: but anycase, going back to his publix comment, i mean really, who is he to judge the actions of someone else
LimbaughFan001: is he perfect?
UsAli46276: it's better that I wear my heart on my sleeve than spew poison out of my mouth
LimbaughFan001: is he so high and mighty that people long to be him?
UsAli46276: no one is perfect
LimbaughFan001: i dont think he is
LimbaughFan001: infact, i know he's not
LimbaughFan001: i hate people who are like him
LimbaughFan001: to be honest
LimbaughFan001: i cant stand it
LimbaughFan001: i mean, they're so selfish, they cant accept peopel for who they are
LimbaughFan001: i mean really
LimbaughFan001: he was "doing you a favor" "being noble and helping you out"
UsAli46276: he has been trying to get me to realize that I'm not really happy
LimbaughFan001: as he said in that dialogue
LimbaughFan001: monolugue
UsAli46276: and I need to change myself to be happy
UsAli46276: but I was all like, I'm happy
LimbaughFan001: please, he doesnt know shit from shingles
LimbaughFan001: he cant possibly imagine someone that is happy in their status quo]
LimbaughFan001: people are
LimbaughFan001: point blank
LimbaughFan001: and he cant accept
LimbaughFan001: that
LimbaughFan001: anyone who isnt like him, cant possibly be happy
LimbaughFan001: sure you long for certain things such as further fellowship
LimbaughFan001: but if you werent happy, you'd find a way to change
LimbaughFan001: i know you would
LimbaughFan001: because thats what humans do
UsAli46276: yeah...
LimbaughFan001: but hey, look, you're a great guy and you dont need david's help
LimbaughFan001: you dont need his approval
UsAli46276: actually,
LimbaughFan001: so, talk to his gal if you want
UsAli46276: I just want to play D&D
LimbaughFan001: but really, you need to ditch him
LimbaughFan001: find new people
LimbaughFan001: im sure there are USF people that play
LimbaughFan001: i dunno where they are
LimbaughFan001: but im sure they're out there
UsAli46276: why can't they invent a way to play D&D without the interpersonal interaction
LimbaughFan001: they have an online version dont they?
UsAli46276: *intrapersonal
UsAli46276: I don't think so
LimbaughFan001: eh, find out
LimbaughFan001: check
UsAli46276: still, it would require people
LimbaughFan001: well they have online communities
UsAli46276: aside from that
LimbaughFan001: you need to look into those online DD type things
LimbaughFan001: like, everquest
LimbaughFan001: or whatever they're called
UsAli46276: ok,
LimbaughFan001: you choose a character
LimbaughFan001: level up
LimbaughFan001: fught monsters
LimbaughFan001: kinda like Diable
LimbaughFan001: Diablo
UsAli46276: I have a feeling that I will run into people that I don't like there too
LimbaughFan001: but they have non satanic ones
LimbaughFan001: you'll always meet people you dont like
LimbaughFan001: but thats like
LimbaughFan001: fe
LimbaughFan001: you';ll find some people you like
LimbaughFan001: and others that you dont
UsAli46276: although, David's Chick, Sara
LimbaughFan001: but the joy of that one particularly is that you can still play if you run into somone you dont like
UsAli46276: is DMing a campaing of her own
LimbaughFan001: so, you can join on
LimbaughFan001: just to piss david off
LimbaughFan001: and to have fun
LimbaughFan001: a double edge sword
UsAli46276: she's all like,
UsAli46276: without David there, I don't know if I still want to DM or if I will have time to DM
UsAli46276: and there are people in our group that don't want me to DM, b/c I'd rather DM than not play at all
UsAli46276: it just threw alot of people into chaos by him doing that
UsAli46276: and that was really selfish of him
LimbaughFan001: well he's working against you
LimbaughFan001: and you cant win
LimbaughFan001: keep your chin up
LimbaughFan001: water off a ducks back
LimbaughFan001: substitute elsewhere man
LimbaughFan001: becuase he's not worth your time
LimbaughFan001: and he's in control of her
LimbaughFan001: so
LimbaughFan001: thats my advice to you
UsAli46276: thanks...b/c I was going to ask him to forgive me
LimbaughFan001: he wont forgive you
LimbaughFan001: he wants you to
LimbaughFan001: and what he'll do from there is have control over you
LimbaughFan001: he's a sick person
UsAli46276: I still can't believe that he would throw the last few years into the drain
LimbaughFan001: he was probably using you the whole time
LimbaughFan001: or probably
LimbaughFan001: he was trying to change you
UsAli46276: actually...
LimbaughFan001: there are people out there whose sole mission in life is to change otehrs
LimbaughFan001: others
UsAli46276: "I can probably condition that out of him"
UsAli46276: said David
UsAli46276: when describing the behavior of a new room mate
LimbaughFan001: i know there are women out there who like a guy only because they think they can change them
LimbaughFan001: it gives them a thrill
LimbaughFan001: it normally doesnt happen with guys
LimbaughFan001: but this guy has got a superiority complex
LimbaughFan001: pretty bad one at that
UsAli46276: meh...
UsAli46276: I'll live
UsAli46276: but it just wasted effort
UsAli46276: :-(
UsAli46276: It's more annoying and angering than saddening
LimbaughFan001: indeed
LimbaughFan001: a deadweight loss of time
LimbaughFan001: anycase buddy, i gotta turn it
LimbaughFan001: in
LimbaughFan001: long day tomrorow
LimbaughFan001: tomorrow
LimbaughFan001: long day today

LimbaughFan001: chin up man
LimbaughFan001: chin up
UsAli46276: thank you...I'm sure I'll be ok
UsAli46276: this happened like a month ago
LimbaughFan001: indeed, you will
LimbaughFan001: you're a survivor
LimbaughFan001: water off a ducks back
UsAli46276: *and then I break into song*
