Do not click &#8220;more&#8221; if you can&#8217;t handle it. *smirk*<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nFirst off &#8211; I get a call this morning in a panic about a server problem on a site that I&#8217;m not affiliated with at all, I just know the owner. I had to sooth my resident drama mama, at 8am. I finally get back to bed after walking her through what needed to do, and she calls 20 minutes later and wakes me up AGAIN&#8230; fortunately to offer me 200 bucks for updates on a site i DID design. Heh. I&#8217;ll let her live. This time. <\/p>\n<p>Needless to say I didn&#8217;t go back to sleep, much as I would have liked too. So I&#8217;ve been getting some work done here and there, working on my site who&#8217;s SQL database went completely kaput causing me to have to redo the entire bloody thing from scratch, which REALLY pissed me off &#8211; but I did get 3 months free hosting from the deal so that was cool of them. And working on <a href=\"http:\/\/xtremewildlife.com\"> new menu&#8217;s and setups for Xtreme Wildlife<\/a> and generally just getting some work done.<\/p>\n<p>And out of the blue pops an aquaintence (i couldn&#8217;t count her a friend) with her epiphany and wanting to share it. There&#8217;s some pretty long background with this person. She is a very young, idealistic, head in the clouds, the world is as I see it kind of person. No one&#8217;s opinions matter but hers, and she will go off on these wild crusades that&#8230;. are unimportant or don&#8217;t need to be crusaded for, and expect all to follow in &#8211; and when some do, promptly disappear and let everything fall apart. She is young, barely 21 or 22, and that is a good part of the problem I know. I&#8217;d like to think I wasn&#8217;t that way, but all of us in our youth were to some extent, i&#8217;m sure.<\/p>\n<p>She and I had it out quite some time ago &#8211; she defending someone, then being angry about something I&#8217;d posted in Roleplay chat (IC even &#8211; heaven forbid my character have thoughts about hers!) all in all being VERY high-handed, high and mighty, condensending, and generally a pain in my ass with her little cutting biting comments everytime we were in a room together after that. So I quit talking to her. Even others were like &#8220;Damn &#8211; she&#8217;s got a bug up her ass about you!&#8221; but see &#8211; I was the only one who&#8217;d not put up with the shit. My opinions are just that. Mine. Her&#8217;s are hers. Hers are also wrong. But she&#8217;s young, she&#8217;ll learn. *smirk*<\/p>\n<p>So today, for some reason, I actually replied. I was cool, I didn&#8217;t blast her, my replies were basically short and sweet. Not putting anything of myself out there until she commented on needing someone who&#8217;d stand up to her intellectially (she is EXTREMELY intelligent &#8211; just has no street smarts or common sense at ALL. Sheltered pampered little daddy&#8217;s girl.) And I said I don&#8217;t work that way, I prefer going Irish Mafia on someone&#8217;s ass, or simply cutting them out of my life and forgetting they exist until they grow the fuck up. <\/p>\n<p>She started with &#8220;aw, poor T. &#8221; (the two-bit texan whore who married my cousin and generally fucked me over but good. She deserves every bit of unhappiness she gets. Merry fuckin Christmas.) and I was like, whatever. She then said something about being glad that she was never on my shit list. And I popped off with &#8220;you haven&#8217;t been OFF it yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Heh. Then she &#8216;suddenly&#8217; remembered why, started talking about it, and I pointed out that it was high and mighty condenscending everything is my way that we were just talking about that turns people off and that THAT was the reason I never speak to her unless she contacts me, and even then it takes a while for me to decide if I&#8217;m going to reply or not.<\/p>\n<p>Her. &#8220;High and mighty? *arches brow* Me? That&#8217;s a first. No one&#8217;s ever said that about me. Well. Have fun, Lessa.&#8221; and she logged out.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. No one says it to her FACE perhaps. They&#8217;ve said it to me often enough. I&#8217;m the only one who won&#8217;t let a 21 year old pampered paper doll dictate how I react to life not viewed through her rose-colored glasses.<\/p>\n<p>At least I&#8217;m sure she won&#8217;t be sharing any of her &#8216;epiphanies&#8217; with me anytime soon.  They&#8217;re COMMON FUCKING SENSE for chrissakes. Get out from under mommies checkbook and discover real life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh. boy.
