Bleh… Uhm… I dunno… warning… this is going to be one of those bitter entries, from a TK that feels like she’s been stabbed in the back. Why would I make such an accusation, considering how much I love the people around me? Certainly they love me too, right? Wrong. I’ll say yeah, there’s a couple people who I think actually do care, but not many… Okay… here’s a scenario… I haven’t been able to do anything with anyone for the past several weekends, because every goddam weekend I have to go to the hospital in ABQ. In the middle of the week all summer everyone has excuses to not do anything. Not that we’d have much time to do anything, but it would be nice for someone to put forth an effort. So… I finally get some time… I invite people to do something as early as 2 weeks in advance, or as late as a week in advance for those who I just never get a hold of. It’s something simple, cheap, and easy. Now, don’t get me wrong… it’s fine with me that people have lives, and don’t want to alter their plans. But it really pisses me off that no one says yes or no. It pisses me off even more that people wait ‘til the hour they are supposed to leave to tell me they cancelled. So, I’ve categorized my friends. Yeah, I know I’m being harsh, but so are the people around me. Group one: The slackers. TV, reading, other people’s opinion is more important to these people than being friends… come to think of it, nearly anything is. They’ll call you when they need you, try to make you feel guilty, because you asked them to come and not someone else. They let you have your good time. They stay at your side, regardless of what you’re doing. As long as it’s on their terms they’ll follow you anywhere. They also tend to be compulsive mooches. Group Two: The Anti-socials. They’ll talk to you for just a moment. They often times will initiate conversation, but have a tiny attention span so don’t talk for very long. These people also get rather annoyed if you initiate the conversation yourself. Every time you hear from them, they’ve been doing something with other people. But you don’t hear from them very often. Often times, family’s also is in this group. They genuinely appreciate your company, but get tried of it really easy. Group Three: The excuse makers. They pretend to like having you around, and say they’ll do stuff with you. But in the end they always make up an excuse of why they can’t go through with it. This is often times where the rest of family members go. These are the kinds of people I hang out with. I’m sure they have good intentions, but would it kill them to be honest with a chick every now and then. I would be a hell of a lot more happy if people would just tell me. “Hey you’re annoying. I don’t want to hang out.” Maybe that way I could sort out who I should actually try to make an effort and stay close to. What made me have this many doubts? I invited 27 people to go camping with me this weekend, and not one wanted to come. When people said they couldn’t do anything overnight, or didn’t have equipment, or a number of other excuses, I asked if they wanted to just come over and hang out. Not one took me up on that either. Oh, but don’t get me wrong… there was only 4 people who even got back to me about it. I just want to hear the truth… I know I’m prolly jumping to conclusions, but seriously… I didn’t know I was THAT obnoxious. Oh well… I’ll go back to my hiding now. Bye
| You are 38% geek |  | You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator.
Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend.
You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines!
Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals!
You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.
