[Hey Retrospec, I hope you're having a good morning. And if you aren't, well...there's kitty posters that are designed to deal with just that. Hang in there, buckos. But for those of you that ARE, Crow's going to take to the network.

You know those traits that are all the craze and amplifying themselves? Well Crow's got em full swing, and his desire to help out his younger friends overpowers all else--in both everyday life and love lives. Unfortunately, it feeds right into his own self destructive behavior, so...

Hey Retrospec-ers!

It's February, and you know what that means? Smmmoochessss? Hand holding. Candle light dinners~

It's a whole month dedicated to finding Mr. or Ms. Right, and with Valentine's day right smack in the center of the month, it's even generous enough to give you 2 weeks to buy discount candy. What could be better?

Well I'll tell ya

How about a date with my buddy, Rean Schwarzer? The guy had a pretty rough month in January and he's a little too shy to get out into the world and meet someone

He's about 5'8'', black hair, pretty good looking if I had to judge myself... He'll talk to you about anything and everything, and personality's got a little kick to it, if you're looking for excitement

Contact for more details

LATER!

It's hard to tell over text if you're intentionally misunderstanding me or not, so. Just so we're clear:

I wasn't talking about you judging me. The boat's clearly left the harbor on that one. What I'm saying is that you have no place judging my friendships.

[godcards]

Stop flaunting them in public, and maybe I will. You have no right to be so defensive when you're dragging your friendship all over the network for everyone to see. You don't have to like it, but I'm not going to be the only person judging. It's like when you see those couples in the mall hanging all over each other and publicly affectionate. You're making your private business my business by putting it in public where I can see it. And judge it. That's on you, not me. I'm just doing what everyone else does.

I did not ask for this to be posted, and honestly, I find it horrifically embarrassing. That said, it's up now, and at this point while I could ask him to delete the post the damage is already done.

All that to say, I'm not "flaunting" anything. This is embarrassing, but at the end of the day, it's fewer than 150 words in written text. I hardly consider that comparable to being a public nuisance.

You had the option to scroll past it. I have the sneaking suspicion you do that to plenty of things each and every day. You chose not to. And my guess is that that's because you were hoping to get under my skin by calling me pathetic and desperate.

And you know what? Fine. Needle at me all you want, judge me all you want. I can take it.

What I won't stand for is the insinuation that Crow had ill intentions toward me, or that you of all people somehow know more about our relationship than I do. And contrary to your belief, not everyone has been doing that.

[godcards]

You're reading an awful lot into what I just said to justify your anger. But you know what? This isn't anything I can't deal with. This is nothing to me, because you're just text. Oh, I know you're going to argue that you're a person on the other side of the screen, but you want to know why that part doesn't matter? Because you're not going to do anything about what I just said. I can say whatever I want about Crow, and it's just the same on my end as it is for you. I'm just text. You could also take your own advice and just ignore me, so it's awfully funny that you feel the need to tell me what to do when you're being such a hypocrite.

As for your last point... people will always judge. They might not tell you to your face, but they always will. I'm just not here to be your little cheerleader, because you can't stand differing or negative opinions.

[It takes a long time for Rean to respond to this. He spends a lot of time typing out long, thought-out responses, only to delete them and start over. Eventually, though:]

You know what? You're right. I can, and I will. I have better things to do today than let you get the satisfaction of feeling like you've got some higher ground on me.

[Which is a lot easier said than done, but... he's going to try to ignore this thread from now on.

Naturally, this is all still needling at him like crazy, but hey. He can at least pretend it's not? Maybe?]

[ because he just has to get the last word. because he's so desperate for attention he Does Shit Like This, since he - god forbid - can't express this thought in a positive way. no, that would be too easy!

sorry rean. ]
