The ranting thinking thread

[Angel]

I liked the whole Mexican vibe, it was just a bit on the boring side. Not many funny moments and a lot of the kids there were clearly fidgeting and getting fed up.

Have seen Book of Life advertised but wasn't sure - might give it a go.

So somebody I care for and am close to forgot my Birthday. Days later they saw a post of one of my B day gifts and texted me: "I didn't know it was Birthday today, why didn't you tell me?" This, this right here says it all. Yes I admit that people forget birthdays and yadayada. But I'd like to point out that we are close friends.
1. You forgot, 2. You got the date wrong, and 3. have yet to simply write me a "Happy late Birthday" type text. Now we are fighting because she wanted to go eating with me and I declined because I was mad at her. That of course spiraled out of control and now we aren't talking to each other. Writing this out now kind of points out how I fu@ked up. Ah crap.

If you drop some acid, this actually makes sense.

LMAO, I'm trying to figure out the scene.

I'm picturing some sort of Fable-esque bandit raid, personally.

This is exactly what happened. She came out of nowhere. Suddenly the kitchen was on fire and the cabinets were screaming. The potatoes were gone and I was left with the ruins of my former life.

Actually, she just took them out of the fridge while I was sleeping. But, because we're basically out of food and buying more is too expensive so I'm kinda down to one meal a day, I ended up not being able to eat all day...even though she has cans of soup specifically for her that she could have eaten instead of my potatoes. But oh well.

How many power cuts lately? Seriously, what am I paying for.

 

[Angel]

More snow?

Wut?

I seriously do not have time for this.

It's getting harder and harder not to let my impatience win out. :/ Professional courtesy is the only reason I've kept my counsel up to now. Let's hope my restraint is rewarded, and I don't find myself in that awkward position of having to be a dick about it--because honestly, I really don't want to.

Cannot quite believe she actually thought that I would continue to do free childcare every Friday until the kid goes to school.

In three years' time.

Er...no.

And now we are okay because... She ended up needing me...? But the underline issue of her not considering my feelings is left unresolved, the Birthday didn't matter.

Why do I love this girl?

Also yes... I quoted my own post. This scenrero needed closure anyway.

Urghh... My internet connection is killing me. Disconnecting every few minutes. Its so hard to have a good browsing experience on such a poor connection.

 

[Shadow]

Wait...Netflix...did you seriously lock me out of my account for a month because you don't like my browser??? The heck???

 

[Demi-fiend]

the Birthday didn't matter.

If you want your birthday to be more important to others, then don't bend over backwards for anyone else.

Or, you can look past this (which is probably what you're going to do) and keep walking down the path you're on.

But if you're going to harbor resentment, then you're setting yourself up for an even more devastating emotional letdown the next time something like this happens.

@Ash. In reality I've have no choice but to move on, forgive, forget and continue down my path.


Jeez taking the high moral ground is no fun. I want to be petty, petty I say! :bored: :tongue:
