This is your last warning...
I hate to just use this livejournal as a place to express negative things, but there's something that needs to be said.
I've been a kind person, and I've been a tolerant person so far here at MSU. I've also made a few friends here and there, as best I could. However, I use the term 'friends' loosely, because for every one good friend I've made, I also seem to have made several not-so-good friends. I won't name any names, but there are quite a few people here who I never hear from unless they need something. They don't call or IM me to chat, or invite me out to do anything, and if I ever invite any of them places, they're 'busy' or already have plans with other friends, to which I'm not invited. There are times when I call and receive no answer, or leave IMs that get no responses for days/weeks... until those people need homework help or a listening ear, and decide to use me to get what they need again.
Well, I have news for those people. The tolerance has ended. If that's all I'm worth to you, then you can stop calling yourselves my friends, because obviously you haven't taken the initiative to respect me or value me as a person as I deserve to be valued. Being taken advantage of is never a fun thing, so I'm simply not putting up with it anymore.
Now, for those of you who have always been my good friends, I hope you can disregard all of the above, because it doesn't apply to you... Thanks for always being there for me and for the fun times we have had. I am lucky to have you guys and gals as my friends, and I'd always go out of my way to be there for you in any way I possibly can. :) In fact, a lot of the 'false friendships' I've been used in lately have done a lot to make me appreciate my true friends even more. I just needed to make the above statement as a warning that as of this year, I'm cleaning out the closet, and my tolerance and niceness will no longer extend to those people who have never given me the same in return. I hate to be that way, but there's only so much I can take.
