Sigh.

I hate ending a night invisible. And I'm a mug - but that's no surprise, I'm sure. Tonight I'm an angry mug, though. Is it too much to ask for even a modicum of respect?

You're quite right, Binky. Too bloody right. Fucking teddybearness. I'm sick and tired of it.

Still, at least I managed to bid farewell to Michael and Keely before they moved up north. Yet another reason to visit Wellington now, I guess.

As much as it may feel like it never gets you anywhere. I've always LIKED your teddy-bear-ish-ness. It makes you a wonderful friend.

Nice guys finish last. It's often true, but they also usually finish properly, without cheating or taking steroids. Better in the long run. Probably not much consolation right now :)

Finishing properly just isn't much consolation for finishing last when it comes with no other good points.

[rtmiss.livejournal.com]

Too true. I think I said that. On the other hand it is better than nothing. Knowing that you haven't compromised you're standards to finish in a better place is pretty good I think.

Anyway, what's last?

[slothphil.livejournal.com]

So much easier to say that when you're not finishing last...

Do you think you're finishing last? Morbid? Anyone we know? Take a look around the world pal, there are plenty-o people with much more to make us suck eggs over.

Just because you haven't found someone to share your life with - yet - does not a loser make you.

It's not just this one incident, it's something that's been happening for a long time, and my patience is finally wearing quite thin. I don't like being dropped like a sack of cold shit and ignored as soon as it's convenient. I like being there for people, but I wish they wouldn't assume that everything was going to be alright and forgiven. Being taken for granted hurts.

Right now I'm not so much concerned with finishing, or even starting, but taking out the little goblin smashing my knees in with a baseball bat so that running is even an option.

[rtmiss.livejournal.com]

If you don't run you won't finish at all.

People have a responsibility to treat each other with respect, those that don't are commenting much more on themselves than they are on YOU.

You are a good person. Don't let the bad (or semi-bad if you like) ones make you a less good person.

I know I'm giving "Advice" when advice is not the answer, Buuuut...
How about Re-inventing yourself?
Is such a thing possible?
I did, but I was young.
And I don't mean compromising your standards and makeing a lesser person of yourself, I mean just creating a new self for you to explore.
Consider it... if THIS you isn't a you you're happy being...
...what sort of you WOULD you be happier being?
I became the me I'm quite content with, but then again, some of those were more cosmetic changes. But sometimes thats enough.
Perhaps consider a little travel too...

Just to clarify, the origonal observation was that he was the second favorite teddy bear, never THE favorite...

[rtmiss.livejournal.com]

Ummm, in what way does this affect that I like his teddy-bear like qualities?

And not to put to fine a point on it but, though I don't see him as often as I'd like - he is in my 'favourites' category.

Morbid, I'm a fan. Yay Morbid. *HUG*.

People who treat you like crap are CRAP. Sucks to be them.

[drcuriosity]

It was the bit that Binky clarified that I was referring to. It's nice to be liked a bit by a number of people, but in some ways it's damned lonely at times, too.

Hugs much appreciated in any case. *big hugs back*

Anyway. I've managed to clear things up with those who I needed to clear things up with this time. So it's sorted for now, at least.

[rtmiss.livejournal.com]

Yay you. You can have *HUGS* whenever you like. And proper ones too, when I see you.

My point is still there, not everyone is out for themselves.

I find myself in the similar position of people thinking I'm a convenient place when they've got problems, but they can't be bothered the rest of the time. Stuff it, it makes me feel better to help people, and I have a circle of friends (which would include you sweetie) that I know I can rely upon. So those folk who only turn up at their convenience, and go away when I'm too much trouble? I don't need 'em, I just help them because it makes me feel better.

Pretty selfish huh?
