Why? Leaks?

I've been a flaky friend recently and one of my friends seems pissed at me. Reason for this is because some traumatic shit I went through the other day, my mind has been preoccupied these past couple days, but this is a pretty lame excuse. =T

Why would going through some traumatic shit be a lame excuse...on its face seems like that would be a justifiable circumstance.

Potentially.

When I was crawling around in the attic this past week, I saw some light coming in where I think it shouldn't... :sweat:

Maybe it would've been better if I explained to her what happened, but I just didn't think it would've made much difference. With her upset attitude when I spoke with her on the phone, I doubt she would've cared and it just made me think that she would've thought that my trauma was just a cop-out of some sort.

I have a cheap and easy solution: duct tape. :P

It's a roof, not a duct. :P

I see, I see. Welps, I hope you find somebody competent yet reasonable. :)

I feel you...obviously, not knowing what happened to you, it doesn't necessarily justify you making "excuses" for your friend. It seems like you're giving your friend an out to justify her behavior. In any event, with regard to your recent traumatic experience, I hope you feel better, kid. If you were in Los Skandolous...I would have said lets go grab a good dinner or I could have made you some tebasaki :P :hug:

Roof, duct. Chicken, pig. To-may-to, to-mah-to. Whatever. :beaten:

Thanks, Tu-kun. Your support means a lot to me. Wyn-chan too. I really should explain what I've been going through these past few day to my friend, but getting the words out is hard. I might just make my LiveJournal entry public so she can read about what happened. In any case, I'll see what happens either today or tomorrow because I'm either going out with my friends today and she's coming in my office tomorrow. :sweat:

And a Tu-kun home-cooked meal? That would be so awesome! Now I know where the Jdorama.com get-together would be if we ever had one. :mrgreen:

But why do you feel entitled to tell her? If you've gone through something traumatic, you don't have to answer to anyone. As a friend, she should be satisfied with a simple "something icky happened to me and I'm not feeling up to... blah blah blah". She should understand. Don't feel forced to tell her if you don't want to.

Well, she's been depressed about stuff in her life recently and maybe my bailing out was the last straw. I've been known to bail out of going out sometimes, so it's not like I didn't have this coming to me. Maybe I'm too hard on myself, but that's what I think. =T

My friends and I usually talk about everything that happens to us, but if you're not comfortable, maybe you should just tell her that something happened to you and that it's not something she did so she doesn't think that you just didn't want to see her or something.

Looks like the people next door have moved out (I wonder if "Get a f**kin' job ever GOT a f**kin' job?) So they're repainting that apartment. Gotta deal with paint fumes for the next day or so :bleh: [/list:u] I wonder what the new neighbors will be like?

I ended up telling her bits of it and making my Livejournal entry public so she could read about it so I didn't have to talk about it. Things are cool between us now. I guess we get upset for a little while and later it's ok. :)

On topic: I really should stop talking to our mailman at work because it distracts him too much. Today he forgot to take the package that I meant to send out yesterday. =T
