Things that absolutely *suck*

And among them are:

1. Knowing people apparently have no original thoughts of their own, and evidently need to read my blog to garner them. I suppose that could go either way, 'imitation and flattery' and whatnot. Still sucks. Get your own ideas.

2. Not being able to stand up to anyone, when it matters, and not being able to do the things that you want to do.

3. Being accused of being a selfish person, when in fact you aren't, because you simply refuse to keep playing stupid junior high games.

4. Receiving gifts from people that hate me, two hours after I post something here that references them, just to remind me of them.

5. Missing big, bald people randomly.

6. Having 26 lbs of fur leap from your head.

7. Stubbing an already cold toe, which makes it hurt several times worse than necessary.


Oh. And people who are too stubborn for their own good. That sucks too. Who said it to me? Ah, yes, thank you Trinette. Put your damn pride in your pocket if necessary, and grow up. That's how this whole "Being an adult" thing, works. It means that sometimes, you have to be the one who apologizes, and you don't get to manipulate things around to have someone come running, and you don't get to have everything just wash under the bridge. Sometimes, you have to stick your pride in your pocket, and accept that when you tell someone to never speak to you again, and that they mean nothing? Those words are going to stick, and in order to un-stick them? *YOU* might actually have to undo that damage. That is how it works, when someone takes you at your word, and they leave. Third-party messages and insults need not apply. And yes, you run the risk of even personalized messages not working. That's a risk you take. Because that's what being an adult *means*.
