Our Friends

When you're with your friends, or even living with them for any reasons, such as college or apartment sharing, are you guys always cool with each other? If you say yes, then you haven't gotten to the "being mad at each other" times yet. Tell me this, if your friend (let's call him Jay) has juice in the fridge, and you take one out to drink, would Jay get mad? Do you THINK he should get mad? Apparently he does. But guess what? 3 minutes ago he had set plans for some friends to go out and eat. It was HIS idea to go. It was HIS decision to pick the time. Friends come over, he doesn't want to go anymore. Why? It's not principle. It's not because of anything else. It's because I drank his damn juice. When you have food or anything, and your friend eats or drink from it, I don't think you would get mad. I'd understand if your friend ate ALLL of it, you'd be mad. But from the 420000000, 1 is consumed.

You go eat with your friends, WITHOUT Jay. You come back. Jay is just sitting there looking like a sad dog. You're pissed off because Jay would always become this sick sad looking like he is about to be put down pet when it comes to small petty things. You leave to go do homework and come back a couple of hours later.
You talk about it with your other half before entering though. You feel a little better because talking helped. You come back seeing Jay asleep trying to do the same homework. Do you feel bad for him? Yes. Because you know he doesn't know how to do it. Because you know he's struggling with it. Do you want to help him? Yes. But you're still mad at him. You want to be the bigger man though. Except there's one thing that's stopping you right now. It's the awkwardness you have between him right now. You too have bad vibes towards each other, so space is what is needed. I do not really want to help Jay right now, but I will eventually. What I really want him to do though, is speak first. I know it's lame, but that's what I want. I want him to know that his part was wrong and to either try to look pass it, or man up and get a new sack of balls.

Our friends can be bad to us at times, and those times you get really pissed off because it becomes an annoyance. They are still your friends. You don't want to ever lose them. They're there for you. Always.
