Girls, You Need to Back Off

You know what really, really aggravates me? Girls. They're snarky and whiny and insulting and always start unnecessary drama. I'll admit, I love drama; just not when it's happening to me. But I also don't go out of my way to start it.

Specifically what I'm talking about are these three girls, two of them go to my school (we'll call them Mary and Molly) and one I met at a party (we'll call her Jamie), who all tried to steal my boyfriend, basically.

So, I just started going out with this guy, John. It's been almost two months and I absolutely adore him. All those girls I just mention, were trying to break us up. And it just annoys the crap out of me because you don't do that. No matter how much I liked a guy, I would respect that he's in a relationship and leave him alone. But it's not like it's just one girl out to get me. It's three. Who are all friends with each other. What friends do that?! Blows my mind.

First, it was Mary. She wanted to go out with my best friend, Kayla's, boyfriend, Matt. (so many names, I know. I'm sorry.) Obviously, he said no BECAUSE HE'S IN A RELATIONSHIP. So she goes after my boyfriend and starts asking him to hang out and flirting with him all the time and it's terrible. But my boyfriend, being the awesome and loyal guy that he is, tells her to back off. This was week 1 of our relationship.

 Then we go to his friend's sweet 16 and this girl Jamie is there. Before I even met her, he warned me that she had a crush on him, but he had no feelings for her whatsoever. Fine. So she came over to talk to John and me one time, but didn't even look at me, even when I was talking to her. She was totally focused on him. Fine, okay, whatever. I don't think anything of it until that night when she puts a truth is on his wall saying something like:

"truthh iss, you are soo amazinngg and im soo happy weree friendsss :))) youvee been theree for me througgh everyythingg andd i can'tt thannk youu enoughh. yourr my bestt friennd and i lovee youu <3 <3"

Even that, fine. She has a crush on him, I know that. BUT THEN  they get into, like, a heart battle in the comments and all his friends are telling Jamie (and John for that matter) that he has a girlfriend, she needs to back off, etc. And she's saying she's not doing anything wrong, blah blah blah. Eventually I tell John that's not okay, and she needs to back off and that heart battle was totally inappropriate. He apologizes profusely and deletes the whole post and sends her a message nicely telling her that she needs to stop. That was week 2.

A month into our relationship, this other girl Molly tells Matt (John's best friend) that she missed her chance when John was single, so she's going to break us up for another one. Her direct quote "I'm going to break them up." By this point, John already earned my trust and again, he told her to back off and that he doesn't want to date her.

Doesn't that seem like pointless drama to you? Why can't I just have a fun, normal relationship without having to deal with all these girls trying to break us up? It's not like there's only taken guys in the world. It may seem that way, but that's because girls want what they can't have. Like when you're playing in the sandbox: you don't want that pale and shovel sitting in the corner. That pale and shovel is stupid, all plastic and boring with no one playing with it. Then the minute another kids starts playing with it, all of a sudden you just have to have it. Pisses. Me. Off. I brought my own toys to that sand box, gosh darnnit.

But yeah, I made this blog to rant, and there it is ^^ enjoy.

Best Friend- A Poem

Oh geez...it's been almost two months since I've posted on here. Sorry...I don't really have a good excuse. But to make it up to you, here's a poem I wrote a few months ago. It's called Best Friend (not actually about my best friend. Ironically, I hate the person I wrote this about now)

Best Friend

Remember when we talked all the time?
When we told our stupid jokes and spoke in rhyme?
The laughs we shared and all the good times we had,
Even the ones that got really bad?

At one point I was your number one,
Your go to girl whenever life wasn't fun.

I'd pick you up and say everything's okay,
Then cry on the phone,
To make you feel not so alone.

I'd laugh at your jokes and like your posts,
Cuz I didn't wanna put you down,
And I knew what a great friend I had found.

I loved you more than I could ever say,
But maybe, just not in that way.

You were my secret, and I was yours.
At lunch I couldn't stand you, the actor I'm sure.
But once school let out and no one could see,
Your laugh rang through my ears,
And I felt your pain times three.

Those were the good times,
When our secret was what your treasured most.
But good things never did last long,
And soon our relationship was toast.

My conscience spoke for me,
With words I didn't like.
It said "I can't do this anymore,"
It's friends we must be.

Now I get to hear of all those other girls,
Genna, Erin, Taylor, Marie.

I hate those names and I hate those faces,
But most of all, I really hate me.
And yeah, I know shit happens,
But not with you, best friend forever.
