OMG, that is so freakin' rediculous... o.o That sounds like a load of crap (from her end) and she really shouldn't have treated you that way... Faiyth is right, doesn't sound like she's worth it...

I guess people have different definitions for what it means to be an adult but I definitely don't agree with what she said. I personally feel like being an adult, in regards to emotion, is knowing when it's appropriate to show your feelings and when it isn't. Obviously in a professional setting it might not be appropriate but when you're among friends, you should be able to let yourself go around them and be able to show them that you are human.

I think you guys are right, she really isn't worth it. It's hard for me because my moral code tells me that you should always be there for your friends when they need you. Still, I'm finding it harder and harder to even consider her to be my friend.

I had a sort of similar situation as yours, except without the whole break-up/divorce scene. An old friend of mine was someone who was always putting herself down. She was really bad. My other friend, Holly, had started dating a guy that Kelly (my ex-friend), had a crush on. Now Holly had asked Kelly if she was okay with her going out with this guy, and Kelly had said she was fine... well, over time Kelly just stopped being friends with Holly, and she always seemed to try and talk bad about Holly. Like she was trying to soil my image of Holly, who had been my friend longer than Kelly had been. Anyway, eventually I discovered that Kelly had been trying to manipulate me into not being Holly's friend anymore. I learned this when I had a sort of argument with Holly and then spoke to her on the phone to try and sort it out. Kelly had said that Holly was "trying to manipulate you. You and your simple mind." That did it, and Holly had been saying the whole time that I didn't need to choose between my friends, so... yet even to this day I think about Kelly and wonder how she's doing... >.>

I know exactly how you feel. D: I'm a crazy loyal person, like, I'm there for a friend through anything. If a friend from elementary school called me up right now crying, I'd treat them just like I would my more current friends. I have a situation going on that's kinda similar to yours, in that, it's getting harder for me to even consider her a friend. I've gotten to the point where when she said my name the other day I told her to keep my name out of her mouth. Period.

That's also why I might seem cranky lately. D:

[commence=rant]
This chick just keeps picking and picking and I can't freakin' take it anymore. I've been nothing but nice and a good friend to her, but she's just so selfish that all of that doesn't matter. Like, I'm a very academic person. My GPA is something that I work my butt off to maintain and because of my tumor I was sick a lot and had to work twice as hard to catch up all the time. Well, she was my partner for two major projects, both in different classes, and she flat out refused to do her part in either of them. I gave her a deadline and called her the day I absolutely needed her stuff by and she told me, 'Oh, yeah, I didn't do it.' She was even home 'sick' that day and she didn't do anything. So, this was all going on the weekend before I had to take a week off of school in December for my surgery, and I had to stay up for three days straight to do a history fair exhibit and a short story video project on my own. Buuuut I still put her name on both of the projects, because she was my friend.

Well, the week passes and I'm back home. I was only in the hospital for a day, but we had to travel 8 hours to the hospital in Jacksonville. Anyway, I had an anime convention to go to that weekend and I had already told this girl she could stay in my hotel room, because she really wanted to go and I take two friends each year. Well, the morning of the first day of the con, we drive 45 minutes in the opposite direction to pick her up and she asks me if her brother could come too. This came out of no where, mind you. I had already planned how everyone would sleep and food and everything for the weekend, but I told her yes anyway. Because she was my friend. Then, in March she lied to one of my bestfriends and told her something I never said or would ever say. I lost that friend over a statement that I never even made, because she went behind my back and made up a lie. Then, last Thursday, she goes behind my back again and got my bestfriend, that's known me since I was five, and gets her to turn on me by doing the same thing she did with the last one. And now she acts all happy and cheery like she did nothing wrong and makes all these Facebook statuses about God and how I'm persecuting her for being mad over what she did. Urgh. Just sdjgfoisdhglsdg dfsg. -headdesk-[/endrant]

Bleh... It's just so hard for me to understand how certain people you count as friends can seem to turn against you so quickly. Still, I don't want to be like the girl I was talking about and just not trust anyone because of that. If you don't allow yourself to trust anyone, then you'll just be alone for the rest of your life because you can't allow yourself to get close enough to anyone to be their friend! I hope she realizes that she's slowly pushing all of her friends away like that. Soon enough she'll graduate, move on, and have to find someplace else. If she keeps up that tactic she'll just be alone with herself and her superiority complex that won't let her admit to herself that she needs more than just herself to get over what she's gone through.

Yeah. Some people just screw things up for themselves. Hopefully, they come to realize what they're doing eventually.

Some people can never grow up, or grow out of their problems... o.o
Sadly, I have to go for the night... *sighs* I also have to work tomorrow, it's about time I got back into it, so I'll be on much later tomorrow.

@ Faiyth: Ugh... That's horrible what that girl did to you. I'm not sure if I would have trusted the girl that long but I really commend you for doing that. It's almost like Kuwabara honor you have there (with the greatest compliment meant by that)! I'll take some things but there are other things I just won't tolerate.

I definitely feel you on the academics though, I work my ass off as well to get what I get and none of my room mates seem to understand that I need quiet to do my work. Mommy and daddy pay for their education and so they don't give a sh*t what they walk away with. I'm paying myself through and I want to get the most out of what I'm paying for. I hate having to collaborate on projects because I hate having my grade be controlled by someone else's actions.

And yeah, hopefully she'll realize sooner rather than later because she wouldn't listen to me even if I tried to explain it.

@ Mora: Aw... Back to ye ole grind. T_T Have a good night and a good day at work tomorrow! Thanks for listening to me rant... >.<

Yeah. My parents aren't going to be able to pay for me and my siblings to go to college. So, I'm relying on getting scholarships to get to go at all, and I'm not going to let anyone mess that up for me. x__x

Worst part is, she hides behind her religion like God is her excuse for everything. This is why I hate the South. Some Southern Baptists need to get smacked in the face. She even said to me once, 'I'm Christian and you're Catholic.' Wtf is that supposed to mean? I can't tell if she was insulting me or just too ignorant to realize that Catholicism is one of the oldest forms of Christianity. ><

Once I accept someone as a friend, it takes a lot for me to just cut them out of my life. Still, I don't understand why I put up with her for so long. I never once told her no. I did everything for her and she never thanked me or apologized for making me do everything when I was really sick anyway. Hypothyroid makes you have no energy at all. Some days I couldn't stand up because it was so bad. And she made me, who was already tired, lose sleep for three days to do projects on my own just days before my surgery. x__x I can't take anymore or forgive her for that. It's just awkward because we're friends with the same people. Plus, I'm afraid that she's out on a personal mission to make me lose all of my friends.

Scholarships definitely help. I have one that gets me around $2,200/semester for each of my 4 years here. My freshman year was the cheapest though because I had a bunch of one time only scholarships to help out with that first semester.

That also peeves me off when people try to differentiate between God... And God. I'm a Presbyterian however I've gone to Baptist and Methodist churches before. We all believe in the same God from the same Bible. I can't believe how it's really so hard for certain people to understand sometimes...

I think maybe in your case, it's hard to see certain things when you're in the thick of things. I had a boyfriend that was mistreating me for a while, pressing me to do things and so forth and I didn't realize how wrong he was to do that until after things were over between us. Sometimes I think maybe we believe what we want to or just fail to realize how serious certain things are when we're stuck inside a certain situation.

That's probably what happened. Like, the things she did kind of bothered me when they happened, but they really just built up and pissed me off when I decided to stop being friends with her. Sucks that I didn't get mad sooner so I could've dropped her before she made me lose my other friends. :/ But oh well. Life goes on.

And yeah, I also hate religous stereotypes. Like how all Catholics are apparently stuck up, ignorant, and unaccepting. I'm a very lax Catholic, almost borderline Methodist and I get that crap all the time. It gets ooooold. Just because we don't completely see eye to eye doesn't mean I'm a devil worshiper or anything. XD God is God. End of story.

LOL, I do see the Catholic Church as being rather strict most of the time but that doesn't mean that I'm going to assume that every Catholic is stuck up. I'm sure there are some that are and I know there are some that aren't. It's really a case to case basis. ^_^

Yeah, I know what you mean. Life is full of "shoulda, woulda, couldas." It's still always so hard for me to accept that, step back, and move on though. I'm a rather regretful person. T_T

Whoa....*hides* So umm...is anyone else going to post in the RP? Oh by the way, Faiyth, would it help if I took over Yusuke until Kage comes back or you replace him? I don't mind delinquent-sitting. lol. I also have almost two weeks off of school so I should have a bit more time to play for a while.

Only if you don't mind. D: I'd hate for Yusuke to fall behind. x____x I'm cool with made-ups being out of the loop, but canons, ehhh not so much.

Sure, I'll put up a post for him tomorrow, kay? Can you have Koenma inform him in the morning of the situation, unless maybe someone at the temple might think to contact him once they wake up. That seems like the easiest way to pull him in. Night!

Hm... Tomorrow like... Today IRL or tomorrow as in RP time? T_T

Do you want us to still wait on the day change Faiyth?

I'll be in an out today. I only have class until 11:15 but I've got a paper, resume, and cover letter to work on today.

Let's see... The last post by Faiyth for Kat was the last post on the bottom of page 8 so that's where you guys left off for that one. As for Yusuke it looks like the last time he was posted with was the 2nd post on page 5. He was just laying on his bed... If I were you, I'd probably just have him fall asleep and not wake up until whenever tomorrow morning happens but that's just a suggestion. ^_^

It's all good. I figured something must've happened. D:
Yeah, Kat and Hiro haven't moved and Yusuke is still sleeping. XD

I'm back from work.. it's about time.. I have some chores to do, but I'll be around to chat a bit.. ^ ^

ZOMG yay! It looks like I just finished up my paper, much earlier than I was expecting to actually. Now I just have my resume and cover letter to work on. Yay! *Ish so happy for finally being able to get a bit ahead on her work for once*

I'm off for now to take a break. Be back a bit later.

I added some NPC's to my thread, so people can at least see the characters I have to work with. I'm thinking of actually starting the rp soon, which would mean that I have to play a lot of canons to start with to get the roleplay going... Dx
I'm thinking either starting it today or waiting until tomorrow... >.>

welcome back Kage! *hands Yusuke back happily* He was a good boy and didn't give me any trouble....mostly because he knew being set on fire would be unpleasant. ^_^

Good luck. Mine took awhile to actually get going. x3;

yeah, no I could see that... and I figure mine will be the same way, so I'm not going to be upset if I don't get a lot of people in on it, though I actually already have someone who took Kuwabara before the roleplay even started... >.>
