queen of apology

jo called me yesterday to explain her recent grudge against me. in fact, i was already completely clear about her situation and completely over it. my rebound rate is fast.

i had long felt it. all the shallow "heh-heh-heh" laughter, "whatever"s and constant hurling of insults like "immature" and "irritating". plus accusing me of being bitter towards her. at first i thought her oversensitive self just got more oversensitive during PMS (which she vehemently denied), to the point of petulance. i hardly (observe that i didn't use the word "never") hold grudges against anyone, much less a friend of five years. and she was accusing me of bitterness!

after my explosion at her over the phone on saturday night, coupled with more "whatever"s from her, she decided to explain her situation and apologise on sunday (sorry rach, you had to be caught in the near-lethal crossfire). but she must have felt she didn't get what she wanted out of me (read on to find out what she REALLY wanted), hence the call last night.

while ben hong got away with calling her deluded, i wasn't so lucky. she was upset over my sentence of condescendence in a blog post a few weeks back. she made it apparent in every way she could: on my tagboard, on the phone, in person. so when she called me yesterday to mention the sentence of condescendence and apologise for her behaviour yet again, it wasn't too hard to extrapolate what she wanted out of me: an apology.

being bitchy (so says carol), mean (erin), overly-sarcastic (jo) and slightly gay (rach says i wear tight tees), i refrained from saying sorry. (for the record, not all of the adjectives used above are true, especially the part about being gay)
but this episode was taking a toll on our friendship and basically getting extremely tiresome (imagine getting blasted as immature and irritating every time you open your mouth. ugh) so i obliged. i apologised. once, compared to her numerous "sorry"s. hey, i only posted one sentence and she was giving me a hard time at every opportunity. expectedly, my apology hit the spot. she was delighted. i hope i don't get any more of those "heh-heh-heh"s and "whatever"s. well, at least till her next period.

jo at her intimidating best: "piss me off and i'll kick your ass!"
