Names have been changed to protect the innocent, blah blah...
So anyway, I'm talking to my friend Bill from NJ over AIM. (I know him through my step-brother, he's a cool kid.) And we're just shooting the breeze about whatever, I don't even know anymore, it wasn't important. Anyway, his exgirlfriend Kate, who I met when they were going out, and who I consider my friend, comes on, and asks if I'm talking to Bill. I am, so I tell her. She asks me to tell him I'm talking to her, and see what he says. I resist at first, but eventually it gets to me, so yeah, I tell him she wants him to know she's talking to me. He doesn't care, and asks me to ask her why he should, so I do. This pretty much disolves into them arguing back and forth. Simultaniously, she tells me he's an ass, and he tells me that she's annoying. I forward those messages, and finally can't take it any more. I don't want to be their latchkey kid. I don't want my relationship with anyone to be defined as "the guy who sends messages to X." These were two people I considered friends, and I wanted to stay that way with them both, and I didn't want whatever negative feelings they had between each other be thrown onto me. I don't think I was so out of line in asking that. Anyway, Kate still had more she wanted Bill to hear. She starts begging me to tell him it. And I refused. This time I was gonna stand my ground. She kept begging, and after two rounds of it, I got tired of it:
her: u telling him i said all that?
me: no
her: TELL HIM
me: im not telling him anything you say
her: i want him to know
me: then email him or something
me: im not gonna be your go between
her: tell him everything i said
me: im not telling him ANYTHING you say
her: plz
me: get that straigh
me: t
her: i need him to know
her: just this once
me: then find some way to tell him yourself!
me: im not gonna do it for you any more
her: so he will know this is good bye
her: greg plz
me: HE KNOWS ITS GOOD BYE
me: HE DOESNT CARE ABOUT YOU ANY MORE
her: i cant he has me blocked
me: you're the one who wont let it go
her: U DONT HAVE TO BE RUDE TO ME
I quickly apologized. I didn't want to be mean, but she wouldn't listen, and I snapped. I had a momentary lapse in my cool, my usually friendly demeanor cracked, and I used captial letters. I'm sorry that I'm not budda. I'm sorry I can't be everyones lapdog 24/7. I'm sorry I GET PISSED OFF FROM TIME TO TIME! It doesn't last long when I do, and I always regret it. I never want any of my friends to feel that I don't care about them. They should all know that. Anyway. I've been agruing with her mom, another good friend of mine, about this.
I think, after two and a half hours of talking it over, I think we've reached something of an understanding. I really don't want to lose two good friends over something so stupid. Really, I think this is such an absurd situation. I've got two people pissed at me over two lines of CAPITAL LETTERS that I typed in the heat of the moment, and I spent the last three hours apologizing to her for it. Its just so insane!
Anyway, in other news, I recently fell for an old ex of mine. She's really sweet and nice and I really like her a lot, but I feel really happy that I was able to keep my head on and not do anything I'd regret, because I truely believe Jackie is the one girl for me, no matter how much I care about anyone else, I want you all to know that I won't let anything come between me and Jackie. I love her so much. Sorry ladies (and gents) who may like me. I know I'm extremely likeable, but I'm taken.
