I've been put in a situation that's lose/lose for me.
Either A) I hate myself for missing a huge opportunity or B) I'm an asshole for possibly getting a job someone else wants.
Sigh.

How does anyone think this would make anyone feel better?
God, I was feeling good lately too.

Last night, on Tumblr, I learned that a friend of a friend who I was friendLY with unfollowed me. It didn't really bother me, sometimes interests just don't mesh and you move on, that's fine. But what followed kind of annoyed the crap out of me.
So the person in question made a post that said she would not follow NSFW Tumblrs. I feel like I'm preaching to the choir if I go on a rant (considering where I'm posting this blog on) so I won't talk about her being a prude. On my Tumblr, I'm known to post the occasional boob or two, along with scantily clad ladies. There's nothing wrong with me posting it, but there's also nothing wrong with someone not liking it. That's whatever. People are different.
It was what followed that really pissed me off.
The night before, another friend of that same friend, made a blog called "fuck-pants." My friend has gone on record saying that she hates pants and takes them off every chance she gets. The blog was simple, people post pictures of themselves not wearing pants. My friend posted a couple, I posted a couple, and the creator of the site posted a couple.
But I digress. The following day, the person who unfollowed me said that she find porn uncomfortable (valid) and she doesn't want it on her dash (also valid). But she was disappointed in her friend (that mutual friend of ours) for posting pictures of herself in her underwear because it somehow made her think less of her friend, whose she's known since they were kids in Nebraska (she still lives there, our mutual friend lives near me in California.). How it hurt HER that her friend posted a picture of herself in her underwear. This bothered me because it's not valid at all. In fact, it's selfish and it's slut-shaming to say that she shouldn't do something because it affects HER and SHE thinks less of HER friend for doing something that was their own choice? The post has since been deleted.
I almost posted this on Tumblr, but I realize I don't want to start trouble again saying my piece. I DO need to get it out there, however.
Internet Dynamics are just as complex as, if not more than, Real Life Dynamics.
My head hurts.
EDIT: I should probably add that the mutual friend in question was feeling terrible and having the worst day afterwards, as posted on Facebook. Linked? More than likely, IMO.

I find people as a whole very frustrating.
There are persons I love.
But people suck.
It's too stressful to keep in contact with people when they appoint me "relationship manager." Like, it's usually me who has to keep up with everyone or the friendship peters off and dies. There are a select few to whom this does not apply, but by and large, it's true for most people I know.
Even family are guilty of this. My mom spoke to me the other day about how my family is miffed that I don't contact them ever, but....they never talk to me. They only talk to me when they want to talk to my mom. Like, once my step sister Facebook Messaged me asking where my mom was. Another time, my uncle tried to pick a fight with my mom through me. I love my mom, but I'm not her secretary. No one else talks to me, but then expects me to talk to them.
I'm not like that. Sigh.

These are things I make up.
...no wonder I'm single.

Is it normal for misanthropes to hate other misanthropes?
Let me back up. Today I did my usual Wednesday routine which involves going to the Walnut Creek BART Station and heading to the comic shop for my haul. Sometimes I take the Downtown Shuttle if I don't have enough time to catch the bus I have to transfer to (and since it's free....).
Anyway, I went today and I gave my friend who works there her Christmas gift, which is this piece of Zatanna right here:
I originally bought it from someone off of Tumblr for myself, but decided that it would do much better in a home who could take better care of it (see: actually putting it up). Well, Susie LOVED it, and was really excited. Great stuff.
Anyway, on the way home, I took the shuttle back because I bought a new long box and didn't want to walk from the BART Station to my place.
This is where my original statement comes into play.
Now, the Walnut Creek Downtown Shuttle is free. There is no cost to board, and it takes you all over the shopping district of the city (which just so happens to be adjacent to where I live holllaaaaa). But because people were walking up to the Shuttle as it was leaving, the bus would stop and let them on. Because that's what it should do.
This dude was getting hella mad about that! He was slamming his paper down every time someone got on and was shooting eye daggers at this family that boarded. He shot everyone dirty looks and I really just wanted to punch him. He had a specific problem with these kids in the family(all aged between 3 and 9, about 4 of them) for whatever reason when these kids were probably the most well-behaved children I've EVER seen.
I'm just thinking "Bro, you're on a FREE bus. They're allowed on too. And quite frankly, they're being more grown-up than you are right now."
Ugh. People.
How was everybody's Christmas? Mine was small but nice. My parents got me a deep fryer >
