I always end up with THE most annoying responsibilities with my friends. Keeping the peace, for one. Averting conflict. Telling someone off for saying things about another of my friends. I have to do that CONSTANTLY, which I should expect with my friend being Erin. People are ALWAYS making comments about her. Of course, she has said things in the past that are distasteful. I think I actually scared her one time I got so angry. But she was really saying some inappropriate stuff. I got in her face, and I know she doesn't get why. It's instinct for me to stand up for people unless I just hate them or if what is being said is precisely what I would say. But there are some things I think Erin shouldn't say.
She does stuff, too. I ended up being teased for something SHE did. I got yelled at because SHE drew a rather mean picture of the girl on the board. I got another berating by the same person for ERIN saying hello to her. I mean, for goodness sake! I have no power over her! I do tell her off when she does that stuff. I get in her face. But why should she listen to me? She's older than me by 51 weeks. I'm not in charge of her. She'll listen to me when something she does gets me in trouble, no matter who gets mad. But that's generally it. I could get her to do something if I threatened to hurt her, but she'll just tell her mom, wh'll tell my mom, who will talk to me and I will get punished. NOT FAIR!!!!!
I get stuck with all the partial outcasts for friends. The people who have plenty of friends, but lots of people don't like them much. Or the people who get taken advantage of by the cruel close-minded people around them. The practical jokers who occasionally hurt me are the worst. My friend Brit thought it would be really funny to pull my chair out from under me. I almost made it on the chair, but the thing tipped over and I crashed to the ground and recieved a nice smack in the head from the chair. Erin decided to scare me today while I was thinking. She couldn't have picked a worst time. I screamed. Then I yelled at her and tried to hit her. I hate it when people do that. She made me lose my train of thought. I forgot what I was thinking about. It was probably for the best as what I was reflecting on was making me mad. I don't have anger problems. I just get startled easily. Whatev...
