Rofl, amusing.

Post 5 by Selena Fan (Account disabled) on Friday, 15-Dec-2006 1:25:47

I don't think this post is amusing Sarah, no way!

Post 6 by SilkySarah (Veteran Zoner) on Friday, 15-Dec-2006 1:38:12

I do, though. At least some of it.

Post 7 by Selena Fan (Account disabled) on Friday, 15-Dec-2006 1:55:06

Ok and what's so amusing then?

Post 8 by Thom3of5 (Do the Doo.) on Friday, 15-Dec-2006 11:49:14

That person was not a true friend to start with. That sounds more like an aquaintence, or just somebody filling in some of their free time with you.

Post 9 by Selena Fan (Account disabled) on Saturday, 16-Dec-2006 9:48:41

Yeah that person wasn't a good friend to you either!

Post 10 by Raskolnikov (I'll have the last word, thank you!) on Monday, 18-Dec-2006 17:59:10

Yeah, when I was your age, friends used to come and go. I never really understood why though. I mean, I think I was a good friend to them; I always told them the truth you know, for example, if their loud bubble gum chewing got on my nerves, I'd tell them to shut the hell up. And if that didn't work, i'd become extremely quiet and not say a word just to get back at them. And when they talked too loud, I'd whistle to let them know that I wasn't listening to them. It always worked. Sometimes I got a little carried away though. I once punched my friend in the face because he told me that I was too serious, that I needed to relax. I once yanked off my friends sun glasses and stomped them to pieces because he looked stupid wearing them. Oh yeah, and I once snatched my friend's cell phone and threw it as far as I could because she liked to talk on it too much. It just got annoying you know. Can you believe that one of my friends once stopped talking to me because he didn't wash his hands after using the restroom. I told him and didn't let him walk out of the restroom until he washed his hands. Man, he sure did get angry with me.

I know quite a bit of people and majority I don't conisder friends to they are more like someone to shoot the shit with, (Chat only type deal) is what I mean by that.

That way if they somewhat piss me off I don't have to worry to much about it sense I have/pr barely know them to have feelings of friendship towards them. I know that sounds a bit harsh but there's just that people these days can't be trusted to well. Seems like when you think you got a friend they go and stab you in the back somehow. To much of that will make not want any friends anymore hardly. I been down that road before, it's quite a bumpy ride no smooth spots in it whatsoever.

If you're counting on people on this site being a good friend to you, don't do so. lol That is my personal advice for you. People you meet online are people you chat with, and nothing more. There is no use getting all upset because your "friendship" was betrayed over the internet because then you know that you don't want to meet that person and have a closer relationship with them. However, if you are talking about friends you've met and became close to, then there isn't really anything you can do. Sometimes, people aren't worthy of you and your friendship and that's just how it is. If you've made a mistake to jepordize your friendship, then say you're sorry and it will be up to them to decide to forgive you or not. lol Good luck finding a "true friend."

Raskolnikov, lol!

Now, what I'd really like to know, is if you've lost any friends due to the way they ate their animal cookies? :)

Post 14 by Raskolnikov (I'll have the last word, thank you!) on Monday, 18-Dec-2006 22:58:53

Actually, yes I have lost some very good friends because of that, and you should be sorry for making me remember such a terrible incident. :(

It all happened when I told them about my disturbing discovery, you know: the way the crackers were deliberately made, but they refused to believe me. I insisted that it was true, that the companies were at war with each other, and they just laughed at me, I couldn't believe the damn bastards just laughed at me.

Nobody has taken me seriously till this day.

But that wasn't the terrible incident that ended our friendship. Oh my god, let me take a breather before I go on any further.

Okay. I'm okay now.

One day while we were in public, they all ganged up on me. They forced an animal cracker into my mouth, it was two little rhinos smashed together in a mating position, and I screamed. I cried so much that they backed away frightened, regretful for what they'd done to me. The milk they'd been trying to pour into my mouth spilled all over my shirt. I ran out of there spitting the fragments out of my mouth, we had been sitting at Ralph's discussing my theory, and all the people began staring and laughing, a little girl pointed her finger at me and laughed. I will never forgive them. never.

And you better not even dare laugh at me too.

The thing is, sometimes you have to ask what people mean when they call somebody a friend. Now, ideally, if somebody really is your friend and really cares about you, they would not stab you in the back or manipulate or play other games. Everybody else is just not your friend, even if they might randomly like you off and on or want to hang out or you know them by their first name or whatnot. If they play games with your emotions or betray you or just get mad at you for no reason, I gotta wonder if they're really your friend or they just think you're some kind of plaything.

Post 16 by SilkySarah (Veteran Zoner) on Tuesday, 19-Dec-2006 23:08:19

Too late, I'd already laughed by the time I'd read that I wasn't supposed to. :)

My deepest apologies for bringing back those painful memories of yours, Raskolnikov. :(

Post 17 by Raskolnikov (I'll have the last word, thank you!) on Tuesday, 19-Dec-2006 23:55:37

You see delicious, someone doesn't need to be your friend to begin with to be mean toward you. May this example serve as comfort for you gal. People are mean and get a kick outa your crying, that's just the way life is. You oughta learn how to do the same, or else the world will eat you alive. How cold a place it is here on the boards, how truly cold! :(

Post 18 by SilkySarah (Veteran Zoner) on Wednesday, 20-Dec-2006 0:05:08

:)

There, I've toned down my laughter, to but a smile.
Twas the best I could do...

Post 19 by Raskolnikov (I'll have the last word, thank you!) on Wednesday, 20-Dec-2006 0:29:22

Lesson 2 Delicious, never trust anybody who has laughed at you once, unless you're a masochist. Believe me, pain will only follow if you do.

Post 20 by SilkySarah (Veteran Zoner) on Wednesday, 20-Dec-2006 17:10:50

Raskolnikov, wanna be friends? :)

Post 21 by Raskolnikov (I'll have the last word, thank you!) on Wednesday, 20-Dec-2006 22:06:06

Pick the wax outa your ears Delicious, and you teens out there stop chewing your bubble gum. I'm about to break down lesson 3 for you so pay close attention. This is the moment of truth, the decision which will set you free from, or enslave you to, the ulterior motives of a "friend."

Now, what we have here before us today is a clear and perfect case of dissimulation, or at least the beginnings of what would be a false friendship kept alive by manipulation. As you can see, the invitation seems innocent and harmless enough, a young lady offering to befriend a young man, a very handsome young man.

But anyway, what is actually lying beneath the surface of this invitation is a future of torment, a future full of misery and treachery. You must ask yourselves before you choose: "Do I really want to subject myself to a future full of pain?"

Listen and understand that, if I indeed was a fool as this young lady has tried to play me, I would answer: "Yes, oh yes, i would like to be your friend for ever and ever," with an oafish grin on my face. Then my emotions, opinions, words, etc, would be at her disposal, i'd immediately give her free reign over my personality. Again, I tell you, this would be the consequence of a fool's choice to be the friend of a "friend."

Therefore, take heed my little children, guard your hearts, for the deception of a smiling face shows no trace of the evil that lurks within.

Don't listen to Raskolnikov, he's evil. Signed, the good guy with the white hat

Post 23 by blbobby (Ooo you're gona like this!) on Thursday, 21-Dec-2006 10:16:45

Silky Sarah, what Raskolnikov needs is a little poetry. I seem to remember that you have a playful Muse, so use it or lose it.

As far as friendship goes, I like what Emily Dickenson said:
"I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you -- Nobody -- too?
Then there's a pair of us?
Don't tell! they'd advertise -- you know!"

Friends are people you have no expectations of, but just enjoy being with.

But, I suspect Silky Sarah can say it better.

C'mon Raskolnikov, befriend the lady! Would it make you feel better if the deal was signed in liquified animal cracker?

Post 25 by Blue Velvet (I've got the platinum golden silver bronze poster award.) on Thursday, 21-Dec-2006 14:47:36

Eeeeeeeeuuuuuu! Liquified animal crackers.

Post 26 by Raskolnikov (I'll have the last word, thank you!) on Thursday, 21-Dec-2006 15:04:49

Lesson 4 Delicious, when you speak the truth, a whole mob of evil-doers will seek to put you to death. It's the price you gotta pay for being an honest person. But be strong gal, be strong! Stick to your guns.

Post 27 by Godzilla-On-Toast (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Friday, 22-Dec-2006 9:51:47

Don't listen to him, listen to me. I only speak the one and only absolute undeniable truth, according to me. Signed, the evil guy in the black hat

Post 28 by jmbauer (Technology's great until it stops working.) on Friday, 22-Dec-2006 11:33:00

Godzilla, weren't you the good guy with the white hat a few posts back? So, the search for the absolute, undeniable truth continues...Let's break for a meal of mating rhinoceroses!

Post 29 by retrieverdog (when I'm in seventh hour, my work does show.) on Wednesday, 31-Jan-2007 19:40:45

Like my words of wisdom say: a good friend is like peeing your pants. Everyone can see it but only you can feel the true warmth. LOL

Post 30 by mark uk (Generic Zoner) on Friday, 09-Feb-2007 14:49:54

i know exactly what you mean, when i lost my sight two years ago, all my so called friends at the time just basically deserted me , its a cruel world sometimes...

Post 31 by Godzilla-On-Toast (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Saturday, 10-Feb-2007 4:43:31

Yes, I'm both the guy in the white and black hat, because people are complicated. Just remember, others might say they have the truth, but it's not nearly anything like the truth I've got, plus it's trademarked and copyrighted. All you need to do is buy my books and join my self-hinderance groups, buy more books, some CDs, some DVDs, the special official Uniform of Truth available in stores near you, and of course, your yearly membership and I'll tell you what the truth is, which will sound suspiciously like what you want to hear or what you already knew.

Post 32 by retrieverdog (when I'm in seventh hour, my work does show.) on Friday, 16-Feb-2007 22:02:51

sometimes I wonder if I really would have more friends if I were sighted. Never know though.

Eh, Raskolnikov, you sound like me. Same way here! People hate me! I mean, for the greater good is all that I want. This girl was moaning about some shit and I turned around and told her to stop it this instant, and really there was nothing to moan about. This girl in my math class wanted a party with the funraiser's money we did, though I didn't really contribute, I still turned around and told her, that's not gonna happen. Yeah, I believe in critiquing no matter who the hell you think you are, especially those people that think they are royalty.

Post 34 by Morgan_Lynn (Account disabled) on Monday, 12-May-2008 17:09:45

hmm.. well oddly enough I was best friends with a girl up untill mabie a year ago.
I gave her a call too see what was up because he haddent talked nor seen each other in a long time, ever sinse i mooved from Atwater up to Fremont when i was six. we saw each other as much as possible, but as years went by we stopped seeing each other more and more.
Anyways, I called her, now i cane exactly recount what happend, but asll i remember is that it ended in some fighting, some yelling, and we havvent spoken sinse. It really hert me when i lsot her as a friend because we had been best friends ever sinse we were in dypers.
From the time i think i was 3 and she was 2, up untill I was i think 15 and she was 13,, we were un sepreible.
She was there for me thrue my grandmothers deth, and i was there for her when her parents seprated.
Well,, i guess to sum this up, friends arnt allways what you expect them too be. But your true friends will stay by you no matter what..
