Perhaps Today I Will Eat ALL My Friends
Jan. 12th, 2007 04:01 pmOkay. So here's the last thing I'll say on the matter.
What I wrote, I believe. If I didn't, I wouldn't have written it. But let's be hella-blunt, drop the cutesy, and name some actual names:
Charles and Hope don't like going to Charlene's party anymore, because more and more Diners are having kids and being gross enough to inflict them on the non-kid-having Diners. For some reason, they don't have the stones to pony up for a party of their own, so they approach Sarah and Andrew, knowing Andrew (while kid-friendly himself) is in no hurry to kid-proof his new digs. Sarah mentions it on her blog. I see it, feel myself lumped in with the yucky kid-havers, think it's shoddy generally considering Charlene's extended generousness, react, discuss my reaction. Charlene sees this, gets (rightfully) angry, leaves the Diners. Charles is "directed" to my entry, gets all huffy, feels smeared. Etc.
So I suppose that's the end of the story, not to mention my membership in the Diners, since I've single-handedly ruined their Christmas. Or have I? Could it be that when Charles and Hope chose to go behind Charlene's back, they ruined Christmas all by their lonesome?
Actions have consequences. I'll take mine. Do the same, or don't. Because we're all adults here, though it occasionally feels like only some of us have figured that part out yet.
