The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

That'll teach me to scroll all the way down to the very bottom, glance at the stuff down there, and scroll back up. I thought for a second it said "Vampire Rave....the lighter network."



Ack!

I've always been a sort of loner. I used to long for friends, then when I had one, I always seemed to get screwed over or dumped for someone more interesting. For years I was not a driver, in fact I was 38 when I first got a license. I took the bus everywhere or walked, but once in awhile I would ask a friend for a ride, always making sure they were not put out and always paying them for their time and gas.



Recently someone I used to hang out with came into my shop and immediately started in on me about all the times she used to take me places. She said how much she hated that, and that she only did it because I obviously needed to get somewhere important. I was completely shocked. All the time I knew this person, and she never mentioned being the slightest bit upset about driving me. I only remember asking for her help about a dozen times altogether but the way she went on I had her hauling me around several times a week. Feh.



Are friends like that? Let stuff fester for years then unload on you? This person stopped hanging around with me when she got a steady boyfriend. I wondered why she wouldn't even talk to me, as though I had done something wrong.



Sometimes I wish for friends that would be there for you in good times and bad. That you can get together with and just have a good time. I think I'm a good friend. Maybe I'll find some other good friends someday.

Stupid people suck. And people who let little things ferment into huge piles of shit suck worse.



You never asked me for anyhting, you have always been my friend. I may not have given you a ride, but I will always be here for you as much as I can.



And I can think of a buttload of other people who feel EXACTLY the same way...

I have a friend who for years would forget when we were supposed to get together for things when something "More interesting" came up. It took me years to realize that it wasn't me that was the problem and to stop taking it from her. Talking to mutual friends (and her family) made us all realize that it wasn't "just us" she was doing it to. Each of us thought we were the only one. I realize now that our friendship never meant as much to her as it did to me. Now that I'm not spending time and energy with her, I can be a better friend to those who truly care, and to myself. Don't worry about her. Take care of you. :)
