			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I was supposed to hang out with Schweffy. Everything totally went wrong. The entire point was to bond more with her (an idea everyone but her seems to understand perfectly). Then she insists that her sister come along too. Which of course, kills any chance of bonding we might have had. We were talking on the phone that morning and her sister, Kim, didn&#8217;t even know about our plans. I asked Stephanie not to tell her. So I get to their house and the first thing she does is make fun of my clothes (I was even wearing the shirt I bought off the online discount tee store!). Then her sister asked me if she could come. So obviously Stephanie not only told her (to make me look like a dick), she also told her to ask me (to make me look like even more of a dick).</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know what the hell was wrong with her&#8230; but she was DEFINITELY in a bad mood for some reason. I picked up an envelope just to look at the logo more closely and she decided it called for an interrogation on what I was doing and why. Jeez, it&#8217;s not a big deal, I&#8217;m looking at an envelope!! Does it really make a difference WHY? I&#8217;m not trying to steal it or anything.</p>
<p>I thought Stephanie and I could remain good friends through college. But now I see I&#8217;m not liked. It&#8217;s kind of weird, I mean, I&#8217;m under the impression we&#8217;re friends but she treats me like shit. A month ago, I was inviting her to work out with me, and do stuff, and talk to her. But she ignored my text messages. I freaked out, naturally, but she told me to stop overthinking, so I stopped texting. And this translated to us not talking. So we didn&#8217;t talk, or hang out, which were things I really wanted to do, until we went out to sushi the other night. I felt that we had reconnected, that maybe the horrible month of not talking was over. But apparently SHE felt awkward the whole time. I was so sad.</p>
<p>And now she&#8217;s continuously insulting me. I was talking to her about how I was ready to move on from the argument we had yesterday and she said I was &#8220;worse than a gay guy.&#8221; So much for being diplomatic. Well at least I tried. Our Pittsburgh trip, which I have been looking forward to for MONTHS, has been canceled. Six days before we were going to go. I even adopted a penguin for her at the Pittsburgh Zoo. I can&#8217;t believe someone I like so much could hate me so much&#8230; and there&#8217;s no apparent reason. Like I said, sure I was inflexible today. But she didn&#8217;t seem to realize that I don&#8217;t want to be just another one of her friends, third wheel to Kim. She said, &#8220;It&#8217;s not like today was going to be special or anything.&#8221; Wasn&#8217;t it now. Today WAS going to be special&#8230; that&#8217;s why I couldn&#8217;t have Kim along!</p>
<p>Well you can&#8217;t force friendship on someone who doesn&#8217;t want it. And NO WAY do I want to be friends with someone who just sits around and insults me. I have feelings, ya know. She says she doesn&#8217;t understand me&#8230; I&#8217;m not that hard to understand. Just because I don&#8217;t do things the way YOU do them doesn&#8217;t mean I&#8217;m totally irrational. Lately, Stephanie seems to have been getting very stuck up on herself. She seems to be the center of her own world, and anything that goes against her is just plain wrong. I was there for her when Kate was mad at her. I remember multiple occasions when I put aside the problems between us that I wanted to discuss, because she was having problems with someone else and I wanted to help. Because I CARED about her. Who was there for her when Brittany, her &#8220;dream girl&#8221; from Ohio, left? I was. She called me and I talked to her for hours. We had a good friendship&#8230; was it wrong for me to try to get that back? But NOO, on our last chance to hang out before Pittsburgh, she has this set idea that Kim has to come. For no other reason, apparently, than the fact that Kim had never been to Towson (which was where we were going to go). Yeah, it&#8217;s not like Kim&#8217;s never going to visit in the next 2-4 years you&#8217;re going to be goint to college there! Whatever. I went against HER set picture (which went against OUR earlier plans!) and she couldn&#8217;t handle it.</p>
<p>Like I said, it wasn&#8217;t so much that which pissed me off as much as the insults. She seems to think she can just shove me around and I&#8217;m just going to take it. She takes our friendship for granted&#8230; which means one of two things. Either she&#8217;s too comfortable in thinking I&#8217;m going to keep bouncing back, or she just straight up doesn&#8217;t want to be friends at all and wants to chase me off by being a bitch.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m here to say that there&#8217;s no more bouncing back this time. I&#8217;ve already tried being nice to her, trying to forgive and all that&#8230; but her response is to basically fuck off. I&#8217;ve had it. I&#8217;m done.</p>

<p>Due to my lack of a car, my braces, which were supposed to come off July 16, will now stay on until September 9. This sucks due to the fact that I have to miss class to somehow get from Towson to Annapolis to get my braces off. Whatever I&#8217;ll do it. It&#8217;s worth it.</p>
<p>Finally I worked another 11.5 hour shift today. I am a true man at this point.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s hard to believe it&#8217;s July. Just a few weeks until I leave for Towson. Seeya, people. But lately I have been wondering, because of something Schweffy said the other night at dinner: I might now transfer out of Towson after 2 years.</p>
<p>Where? The <a href="http://www.pitt.edu/" target="_blank">University of Pittsburgh</a>. For a year&#8217;s study, in the college of business administration, for out-of-state, it&#8217;s $24, 352. (plus $770 in mandatory fees). At Towson it&#8217;s coming to $20,381. Why? Because I made the decision a while ago that I want to end up in Pittsburgh&#8230;it&#8217;s a blooming market for franchises. So, why not get the feel of the city early by going to college there for a couple years beforehand? I am a genius!</p>
<p>Of course it depends on how many scholarships I can garner for transferring to Pitt.</p>
<p>Also I got a request to stop posting lolcats and the such. Well TOO BAD! Check out the <a href="http://www.failblog.org/" target="_blank">FAIL Blog</a> for more epic failz.</p>
