So a guy I've known for a long long
time got mad at me several weeks ago. Apparently I whined too much
about MY problems instead of listening to HIM the last time we talked.
A "discussion" ensued that got so heated and one-sided that I put the
phone down on the pillow so i didn't have to listen to him. Needless to
say, we haven't spoken since.
Today I called and left him a message on his voicemail. "Are you
still mad at me?" I asked. He EMAILED me instead of calling me
back. Here is what he said:
Until you acknowledge what you did, take responsibility for it and (here's a new word) apologize, there's no need to call. In the meantime, please feel free to congratulate yourself all you want for your good intentions.
HERE IS MY REPLY TO HIS EMAIL:
Haaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Not happening, apology boy. I did NOTHING that a normal person would consider
wrong, except commit the crime of not being concerned enough about some man's
ego. For which I received punishment in excess of the crime committed.
YOU on the otherhand had a meltdown of astronomical proportion well beyond anything attributable to me.
Have a nice life.
I love using words like they're napalm. He knows I'm not kidding. I
don't care if I NEVER speak to him again. Truly. In the past, years
have gone by after he pissed me off. Until he decided to call ME again.
And putting this "conversation" in my journal is evidence that I don't
care if he falls off the earth for good. Again.
Meanwhile, hanging out my dirty laundry here isn't nearly as much fun
if he isn't going to read it. Darn. I don't know whether he stops by my
journal or not. If he has, he's always done it in stealth mode.
Oh, well. S**t happens.

I didn't forget your birthday. I swear. Really. Please don't scare me.
I love that you use words as if they are napalm!
I've guessed for a long time now that I'd never want to make you mad at me, LOL! By the way, I think it's his loss and not yours! His response after you sent the peace vioce mail his way was rude and uncaring, if not unfeeling. Go ahead, Mrs. L! Napalm the guy!

Nepalm is the best thing this obnoxious Male deserves - give it to him Mrs L....Ally
PS....I had an Ad Jump out at me - a Scooter....Nearly freaked me out....must get rid of them....Ally
LOL! Nothing like the smell of napalm in the morning! ;) Lisa
I have a recipe for napalm if the words weren't painful enough. Sometimes they need graphics.

Are you sure he's not a woman? He sounds like my sister.
Napalm is so much more direct than therapy.
There seems to be a lot of this going around. Alexis has been dealing with almost the same thing. I like your scortched earth approach....it tends to bring things to the fast, inevitable conclusion.
