They wanted me to be the dream

[synapticjava]

Or why I should just stop trying.

Last night was the Gentry party - the party I've been looking forward to for weeks.

I was going to post a long and involved entry about why I'm upset, but I'm going to sum it up really easily: I don't like it when people pretend to be my friends. And I especially don't like when I'm treated the way I was last night, and furthermore if that's how my friends are going to be...maybe I need some new ones.


On the other side of the coin, I got to talk to Kierre last night, and I realized just how *much* I miss having someone to talk to like that. No holds barred, no judgement, just caring and support and someone who generally cares about what's going on in my life. I really wish she'd move to the city.

And now I have to return to schoolwork and RL. RL bites.

Haven't commented on one of your posts in awhile...need to now.

Even without knowing exactly what happened, it does seem that if your 'friends' treated you poorly, then you do need some new ones. They ARE out there.

Burning Bridges

Bradley, we have been down this road before and you really need to learn how to be a grown up and discuss your problems with people, i.e. your "friends", with the people you have a problem with, instead of retreating to your laptop and painting a beautiful picture of a highly dramatized and self-serving situation with yourself as the helpless victim. We both know you are no martyr. I was there and I am sorry to report, but nothing was done to you. You chose to sit at the bar, by yourself. That was your choice, no one else's. Stop making situations more extreme than they really are. Are you that desperate for attention? Seriously kid, people are allowed to have other friends, and by attaining another friend, one does not replace another.

And just a piece of advice, one "friend" to another. Livejournal is an open forum. People can read this, even if you don't want them to, or if u want them to, which is what i suspect that this is all about. So either way, whether you planned it this way or not, Vivi has read this. So congrats on burning another bridge. You are a true winner, kiddo!

So there you go. All the attention you are going to get from me. And by the way, you can get all the support you want from your livejournal friends, but this is the internet, sweetheart, it isn't real. And remember that a computer can't sit next to you at a bar and strike up conversation or dance the night away and watch a stupid movie the next day all hungover. That is what real friends are for, and if u keep this up, you won't have any left to lose.
