You know what really bugs me? When I don't hear from Julio in months and months and then all of a sudden, out of the blue, he just posts something idiotic on my Facebook wall....
For example, he and I have had a long-standing feud about who is a better late night talk show host: Conan O'Brien or Jay Leno. I, naturally, am a huge fan of Conan and for some inexplicable reason, he likes Jay. The arguments are always in good fun and we never come to a solid conclusion.
Well, he took the opportunity to fuck with me a few days ago and I got very annoyed. We went our usual 6 or 7 rounds on Facebook before I just quit and wrote him an angry message.
me: Also, does this tactic of just coming out of nowhere and arguing with girls work at all? Does this get you chicks? Because I find it incredibly disheartening. Don't alienate your friends. Don't be the boy that pulls on girls hairs just to get a reaction out of them. Be nice. I know you have it in you. :)
Julio: Alienate my friends?? [...], I am sorry, I meant the comment as a total joke, because of the back and forth banter we have had over the past about you liking Conan and me liking Leno. It was not intended for you to take it the wrong way, or for you to think I am insulting or making any kind of argument. Sorry I won't do that again.
Yep, I guess he got caught in the wrong spoke of my menstrual cycle....I would post the conversation we had beforehand on here but it's disappeared off my FB wall...guess Julio removed his post out of embarrassment or something.
I normally don't snap on people like that, much less a guy I've gone out with...but I was just so stressed at work and at home that I finally had to let it out on someone. I read back my message and immediately felt remorse for writing it. I wish I could be more disconnected from my emotions...but I'm not...so of course I sucked it up and wrote a response:
me: Hey...thanks. I really do appreciate it. I feel like the last couple of weeks have been taking a total shit on me and I'm sorry if I lashed out at you.
He never responded back...I didn't expect him to.
Am I too nice sometimes? Anger always feels like a foreign emotion to me...like I have to hide it from everyone. I feel like I can never be visibly upset. That can't be right.
