I'd like to know what yall think of this.
I got a message (on Myspace) from an acquaintance of mine today. He's better friends with my girlfriend than with me. First, a little background:
He posted a comment yesterday on my page saying "Hi." I hadn't heard from him for a while, and I vaguely remember him being away somewhere.
I replied with "Ello."
He asked me "What's happnin' anything new or innerstin?",
I posted a comment saying "Um... not really. I'm going to have to apply to Harvard soonish." (Harvard sent me a brochure with an application that instructed me to fill it out and return it immediately. Since Harvard is my school of choice, it was something that occupied my thoughts a little).
He replied "Best of luck with that. I'm coming home soonish for a few days. ish."
That's all fine. I wasn't really interested in talking to him, and he probably wasn't too interested in me.
But today I got a message from him (not a comment-- messages are private). It said:
"dude,
get out
its not cool
and you dont deserve it at all"
My first thought was that he was talking about my girlfriend, and I wasn't very happy about that. My second thought was that my comment about Harvard might have seemed boastful to him-- reasonable enough. I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and responded diplomatically:
"I'm sorry, what?"
He replied: "not my place to say... just be wise"
That was about an hour ago, and it pissed me off. Not only does it seem that my first suspicion was correct, he claimed that it's "not his place to say" when he had already spoken.
I replied: "That's a lie. Finish what you started."
What do you think?
