Conflict OOC

::walks from the smoke; scorched:: Shadoooooowwwww...why meeeeeeee?

::throws plasma grenade::

Well you suggested it, and it's not my fault you decided to catch it.

And don't throw plasma! There's a shortage of it as there is! Now go put that back in the blood bank.

What about multiple raining swords?

*several hundred swords of varying size and sharpness rain down around LoH. Nin stands underneath the rainfall, with a steel umbrella, mulling over things*

What causes swords to rain from the skies? I only mentioned it, I did not cause it. Has God decided to show Himself to the world in a more dramatic matter, or is He simply angry at one person? Are plasma grenades made from the plasma found in red blood cells? So many questions, even an encyclopedia cannot answer them all.

::taps Nin on the shoulder:: Oh, hello! Does that happen to be my replacement you just used a Blade Shower jutsu on? ::drinks a glass of plasma::

The trick to not getting rained on is to walk in between the rain drop. Try it sometime, but I suggest doing it when no one is watching, unless you don't mind looking a total fool.

I suppose that would be the most obvious way to do things.

And I did not use a "jutsu" whatever that is. I merely suggested it, I did not cause it, if you would read my posts.

For those who care, I will not be posting for three days, because of a weekend long concert spanning tomorrow, Saturday, and the wee morning hours of Sunday. Chris Tomlin and a bunch of other Christian artist will be playing in Midland, and I have the blessing of being able to go, and possibly going backstage (if they decide my friend can bring a friend backstage...Hopefully). So, I shall bid you aideu, and perhaps return. I might not, however. Who knows? If I don't, use MD to track me down--his bloodhound nose is useful in finding missing people.

Or we can send Kiba...you know the gy naruto defeated with a fArt?

I Agree...

Have fun Ninj.

I'm back.

And I'm angry.

Because my friend decided he was going to take his Butthole Pills and be a jerk.

Whyyyyyyy do I have such friend problems?

Welcome to life.

So, yeah.

He's still not talking to me for some reason, didn't say bye or let me know his mommy was coming to get him or anything.

I HATE MY LIFE.......

He probably has reasons.

People are sinners. They are going to behave like sinners. You shouldn't expect much different from them.
Just remember, though, you are a sinner too. It is only the grace of God that keeps you from doing the same things he's doing right now. It's completely valid to be angry at what he is doing, but it is sad that it is your friend that Satan has trampled down. You and he will both be in my prayers. And, if you are not already, I recommend that you pray for him as well. I know how easy it is to be so angry at someone that I forget to pray for them.

And not imprecatory prayers, either .

Imprecatory?

Well, apparently, he's mad at me, because he's not speaking to me....When I did nothing wrong...

So, here's the deal. Earlier in the week he invites me to Rock the Desert in Midland, so I find someone to work for me Friday so I can work.

He talks to me the morning of the trip, but then as soon as we get into the van...Nada. No speakie to Chance-ie.

So, I turn on my music and think to myself, because I don't know anyone else, so it's either think to myself or go crazy.

So, we get to Chick Fa Le, or however it's spelled, and we eat. I'm like "I guess I'll sit with you, seeing as how you did such an awesome job at saving me a seat" and blah blah blah, unimportant conversation, breaking things in Wal-Mart, blah blah...

We get there, and then he rushes off with his new best friends Grayson and David. So, Mommy texts me later, and she's like "Are you and Zach having fun?" and I respond, "Well, I'm having fun with Me, Myself, and I, but I don't know where Zach is."

So, Mom texts Zach, and I don't know what happens there, but Zach texts me and is like "Why did you have your mom chew me out? And if I'm not courteous to be your friend, then just hang out with Tori and them tomorrow!"

I explain to him that all Mom had asked me was if we were having fun and I had said I didn't know about you. Mom said that all she had asked Zach was if he knew where I was and etc. I respond "Well, I'm sorry if I expected the friend who invited me to hang out with me!!" and he said "Well, I'm sorry other people asked me to hang out with them a long time ago!!" and I was like "Whatever!!" and she said "If your so mad, why don't you just not talk to me!!" and I said "Fine."

So, stuff happened, eventually I just realized it would probably be easier if I just apologized for...Whatever it was that I had done...And he was like "It's okay" eventually we "found" each other, and we listened to Bluetree and Switchfoot (which, I might add, we were EXTREMELY close to), and things seemed to be getting better. Back at the hotel, we talked and laughed and stuff.


Then, we get back in the van the next morning, and...it starts again. Eventually I just decide it'll be easier just to give him his space, and I apologize again over text for whatever it is I did, and he says it's okay, but he never spoke to me beyond that, even when he came by our spot. He saw me, and didn't speak to me. AT ALL.

Then, he texts me later, and says "Hey, we're at the front, you should've hung out with us." and I replied "Well, considering that to hang out with someone you have to speak to them, that isn't really my problem." On my own, I ended up being able to push through the crowd, and being almost at the very front for TobyMac, which was sweet. Of all the performances, Switchfoot and TobyMac were my favorites.

On the way home, more ignoring ensued, I overheard a call to Daddy from Zach saying that he needed someone to pick him up, but I pretended to be listening to my music and just rolled my eyes. Then he didn't even say goodbye, and he's still not talking to me today.

I don't understand how to explain why I was mad. I'm not now, I'm upset that he's mad at me for whatever reason, but I can't seem to get him to understand, and even though I hated it, I've tried apologizing. But I get no return apology or even an acknoweledgement of "I've done wrong". And it's not like he isn't a Christian, I know he is, but it's possible he's backslid in his faith since church camp. I'm not judging him for it, it happens to everyone, I know that I have, but since being hurt over and over and over again by people that call me "friend", I think I've come to a new realization. All my life, I've been trying to find people to put my faith in, that I can rely on for whatever reason, but every time I do, they fail me. My realization is that people are human, and they fail me, but God never fails, so I need to put my faith in him.

He could be thinking the same about you. Wait, have you tried talking to him? If not, do it. That's my advice. Don't destroy a friendship by setting requirements (i.e. expecting them to talk to you) and thinking negative (i.e. thinking he's mad). Sorry if I'm sounding harsh.

Friendships, IMO, are best when it is not about you oe your friend, but rather when it is about both persons.

I tried talking to him about it, I really did. But he didn't seem like it was a subject important enough to be addressed (like, when I tried to bring up the subject, he instead would avoid the topic by talking to other people and continuing to not acknowledge me...

I'm so confused. I tried texting him today and he hasn't responded at all. I guess my best bet it to wait til Wednesday and talk to him at church, cause I have almost zero contact with him otherwise.

And, I'm not trying to set requirements, I mean, I'm thankful that I got to go with him, and I did end up meeting some cool people. It just seems like...He didn't have the same experience, you know? Like...it feels like I'm not doing something right in our friendship, like we're not having the same friendship. I don't know how to explain it.

::leans heavily on a cane:: I was once told many months ago when I was young and princely that if broken friends are truly friends then God will bring them back together. 'Tis true, sonny. Dinna worry about it.

Dinna worry about it?

Anyway, came up with a RPG idea. It's on the OOC page, FYI.
