needed to remove myself from the situation in my head. Hard to do, but I did it. Needless to say, my friend ended the call with a very terse, “Seeya.” He wasn’t happy. I hopped in my car and drove home. I think I made it home in record time. I was able to relax once I got myself seated in my comfy chair and had the TV on. So my friend won’t talk to me (I saw him in-game in WoW). I caught up with his sister in IM (she’s also my friend) and she isn’t very happy with me either. Apparently they were pulling up as I was, “hightailing it out of there.” She mentioned to me that the least I could have done was stuck around to see if maybe we could change our plans and go somewhere else. Honestly, if that thought had even entered my mind, I absolutely would have done that. At that point in time though, I was fixating on this, and I felt I had no other choice (however irrational it may have been) but to leave. Yeah, I’m really doing a good job of keeping my friends. Or not. These friends have pulled me through a lot of crap in the past several years, and looking back on it, this wasn’t very helpful in maintaining that friendship. Looking back at my phone, it took only 10 minutes for me to go from normal to totally flipping out. Yeah, I think I should start going to meetings again… The only thing I can tell them is that I’m very sorry that this all happened. I’m gonna go watch more TV now. I just don’t feel like playing WoW any more this evening. Thanks for visiting and Keep Coming Back!!! Edited@ 10:53pm – Comments are off for this post. I’ll post a follow-up tomorrow after I’ve had a full night’s sleep.]]>
