Pet Peeve
Let me tell you about a certain pet peeve of mine. I hate it when people don't call back. I hate it when people say they are going to call and then don't. I hate it when I feel like I'm being ignored.
And what is one supposed to do when this happens? I must admit, I'm at a loss. Especially since it is a friend that has comitted the offense and I am pretty offended. I don't appreciate feeling like I am only a friend some of the time when it is convenient for her. I don't appreciate being ignored at all. Plus, with the internet being the devious spiller of secrets when one is not careful, I know that this should not be happening. Other people are getting attention and things are going just fine. But suddenly, I've been moved to the "do not call" list, or at least the "call when you know she won't answer" list.
It fucking pisses me off. I deserve better treatment than that. Way better. But I know that it is close to impossible to confront someone about something that seems so trivial, yet is so important to me. I know that I will get a giggle and the brush off because no one ever really listens to what I'm saying anyway. Plus, if I'm not considered a good enough friend to actually talk to, what difference would it possibly make?
It's actually ridiculous that in this day and age of being able to communicate via various pathways, that some people still find it impossible, and also think it's acceptable to treat others as if they are not important whenever the mood strikes them.
So I'm in a bad mood today. And probably tomorrow too.

Hope you're not talking about me. If so or even if not, I apologize for not doing a better job of keeping in touch.
Silly Stevester-of course I'm not talking about you! I'm talking about people here who have no job and no school and STILL can't manage to press the 10 numbers it takes to call me or the ONE it takes to pick up the phone!
It was great talking to you the other day, by the way~
