I apologize in advance for writing this post. It is “drama”. Also known as “peoples business”.
In any case, I had been under the impression that Claire was a friend of mine. Then about a week or two ago I happened to notice that I was banned from commenting on her LiveJournal. I attempted to post a comment asking if this was a mistake. It never got screened by her apparently. I had a period of about an evening where I wondered what the hell I had done to deserve this considering that last thing she ever wrote about me was “You’re always willing to help a friend in need.”
Seems like an odd way to treat a “friend”. But whatever, I wrote it off as nonsense being caused by tension due to Claire’s relationship to her boyfriend, Robert. Someone whom I have no real opinion on one way or the other, but people I know seem to not be so hot about him. Whatever, not my problem really. I can only guess that Robert might be involved because there was a period of time long ago where I was interested in Claire. That time has long since past and I was fine being friends with her. However this is a long stretch on my part here pulling a wild hare out of my ass.
So now cut to today where I see this post on Claire’s LiveJournal where she talks about “online drama” and how she used to not see it before but how she now understands what other people were talking about.
At this point, I’m still happy go lucky Dan and dont really think twice about this. That is until I happen to see this line she wrote:
“If I have a problem with one of my friends I call them.”
Well, by virtue of the fact she blocked me from commenting on her journal we have a problem. What we dont have however is a phone call from Claire explaining why this is so.
Houston, we’ve got a problem.
I was willing to write this off and totally overlook the childish behavior of playing the passive/agressive game LiveJournal edition but not after this. And to those who are going to comment that what I am doing is either a) Drama b) Childish c) Unimportant d) A Personal matter I already know that. But frankly, it does miff me that someone is claiming they communicate their problems with their “friends”. I guess I must not be a friend or ever was really of hers.
Women, be advised, it’s behavior like I just described that makes men think women are damn bitches at times. Do what you say and say what you are, because you’re going to slip up at some point and someone will be watching to catch that slipup.
