Damaged goods

[wanton_bliss]

I was forced to borrow someone's bicycle, not quite sure whose. The thing was in pristine condition and appeared expensive enough to worry me substantially when I got a flat. I ended up in a sports store that also did bike repair, waiting around for a "cheaper" (read: two hundred dollars) replacement since the original brand of wheel could only

This happens in your head when you're awake too, doesn't it?

[wanton_bliss]

Presumably, you mean the audience applause, not the bike getting a flat.

Did this really happen?

Awsome.

Hmm...

[wanton_bliss]

I guess I felt like the tag "dreams" would suffice to identify it as such.

Seems like every time I visit your journal, I find a post or comment about me. I should tune in more often. I was talking to my friend about Dave, and he wanted to see a picture. Of course, the first place I thought to check was your journal.

When I saw this post and told him greywanderer was me, he got all worked up and asked me if it made me mad. I laughed and told him it didn't, and he said it would piss him off. I told him I didn't believe that you were really an asshole. He said again that he'd be mad, but I didn't feel like explaining to him that you were probably right about my issues being myself. He then asked me why we fought, and I literally couldn't remember. Then I remembered that I was upset about some email, and I felt stupid so I changed the subject back to Dave.

And now I'm really bored at my aunt's house, so I'm commenting on your journal. Hope you don't mind.

One of the pitfalls of only checking it once every six months... Heh.

he said it would piss him off

I don't know what the hell he was getting worked up over. Was it the idea that I dreamed about you or that I had the nerve to publicly post my dream? Both of which seem completely in my right, seeing how it is my head. Along the same lines, why would someone get angry over something that never actually took place?

Your friend sounds a tad highstrung.

I didn't believe that you were really an asshole

I really don't have any issues with the title. Recently, I indulged in a meme going around in which people were supposed to enter the first word they think of when thinking of you in images.google and then post one of the resulting images. Among the labels I elicit from my readers (note the word choice rather than "friends") were prick, pussy and bitch.

I really only take umbrage at 'pussy', so make of that what you will.

He then asked me why we

Yes, he's high strung. For example, he's currently not talking to my roommate because of some issue which took place three years ago. I like to tell him that he's prickly.

I don't expect you to apologize. It was actually a good experience for me since it made me learn that I need validation for my feelings from other people.

During our argument, the part that I didn't express clearly was that I didn't want you to apologize or agree with me, I just wanted some sort of validation such as, "I can see how you would thought that," etc. But I'm very much over that way of thinking now.

oh, and I did use one of your tags to find the pictures. I think you have a photos tag.
