Disappoint.

[ysobelle]

My declaration the other day...seems it doesn't matter now. The person with whom I had my little disagreement has decided it might be best if other arrangements were made. I'm angry, but not too. I'm not very surprised, either. I can't say I didn't see this coming, and I'd already started to discuss options.

I'm just tired of being blamed for other people's drama, or being the focus of it. I'm sorry if not falling in obsequious genuflection at your feet enrages you, but it took me a long time to learn to stand properly. If my disagreeing with you means you feel a need to take your ball and go home, well, so be it. We probably wouldn't have had much fun playing, anyway.

I am nobody's scapegoat.



I shall plant roses this summer. I can't express how incredibly happy I am about that. I shall think of my roses, and be glad.

Roses rock.

So do tuberous begonias, which come in zillions of colors, and have similar blooms but are easier to grow than roses. That said, they're rarely perennials in your area, but they might be worth planting anyway.

I shall loan you my green thumb if you want it. I probably won't be needing it as i have a total of 2x3 feet of balcony space in which to grow anything.

Can you mail those?

Dreadfully fascinating story on NPR this morning from a reporter who just wrote a piece for Harper's about the US cadaver trade. It's apparently entirely unregulated, and one FedEx station opened a package that was leaking to discover human torsos inside.

agreed a mazillion percent!! I can empathize completely, hon.

I'm glad you're not letting this get you down, hon - people who try to change you or make you see things *only* their way are not worth emotional investments of any kind. and you're too good a person!

remember the last "boyfriend" I just dealt with, along with the friend who tried putting us together (she'd helped Gina to organize my surprise b-day party)? well, in their infinite LACK of mature wisdom, they've decided that I'm suddenly not worth knowing anymore.

why? seems they're both angry that I refused to conform to his friends' herd mentality, and went so far as to call me me "a handful" and "overbearing" because I wouldn't give him money and rides when he whined for it.

I could not then and still cannot now believe how un-friend like these two were. sure, the guy hadn't had a date for over five years, and worked a dead-end job, but since when did either of these facts become my responsibility?

the last straw came after he asked me for the umpteenth time what to do with his sorry state of existance. I finally responded AS A FRIEND that he could consider getting a better job, and/or go back to school first to complete his degree. good advice, right? WRONG. no kids, I'm now a control freak and a horrible person not becoming his personal wetnurse.

like the insolent children they both are, they took their balls [if either of them really have balls is another matter, heh] and went home. good riddance too, because it seems all they wanted was to rewrite the rules so I'd be at a constant disadvantage, to the point of being their scapegoat when they can't handle life.

I hate false friends...

It wasn't a false friend, really-- just someone I used to really trust, and support, who apparently doesn't feel I'm owed the same consideration. Like I said, I kind of saw this coming. But again, as a certain Norwegian put most succinctly, "Just because something's inevitable doesn't make it any less sad."

I'm just sorry that this happened to you! that certain Nowegian is right (um, which one, btw?), too damn true...

It wasn't a false friend, really-- just someone I used to really trust, and support, who apparently doesn't feel I'm owed the same consideration.

actually, the same could be said for the two I mentioned. but then, they also kept telling me how much they cared about me and all that lot. the caring was conditional, though, on my becoming more like them both and the guy's friends, which was/is just ridiculous to ask someone to do.

I never saw it coming either. and it still hurts...at least you were on close enough terms with your friend to have some kind of warning.

*sigh* some people I will never understand... :(

Danke, Sexpot. I'll try to call you, oui?

*Shnmeck!*

[irishcoyote.livejournal.com]

Gods and Godesses, I so know how you feel.

Good on ya!

[ysobelle.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm so sure you do, baby. I'm so very sure.

Take pictures of KSU for me, will you? Especially the irises!
