I just got done talking with Mandi (friend since kindergarten, she's a bit of a poseur but it's tolerable to a degree). She gushed about how much she's going to miss her guy friends (Bronson, Nick, Greg, etc) when she has to leave for three days to go up-north...or something like that. She was telling this to her friend of nine years who was about to be moving to an entirely different country in a matter of weeks. Who would do that? Who would boast about how much they're going to miss their friends, who they've only known for half a year, while they'll be gone for three days to a friend they've known since kindergarten, who's going to be leaving this country forever? People don't realize how fucked up their words are at the time they say them, but do they ever actually realize the impact they've caused anyway?

It's not like I'm DEEPLY insulted to the point of misty eyes or anything, I'm just pondering back, "Huh, that was rather insensitive of her, and I bet she'll never realize it." She isn't too bright to begin with, either. Also, when I said that we'd send her a plane ticket next summer or this winter break, she was more concerned with having to fly than being able to see her 'best' friend for a week or so. Just goes to show that there's really no depth to 'best friend'. It's a bullshit word. Cass puts Ryne first and Mandi the same with her new friends, so where does this place me? Where am I on the friend scale? Well, that's all right. I put myself before any of them anyway, but I guess they miss the significance in that. Why does everybody need to verify their existence through another human being? Who cares? Outside my family, people are shit to me, especially friends...but maybe that's me being cynical.

I'm addicted to Harvest Moon 64 again. I started a new game and because this is the second time around, I'm catching a lot more things than before and making friends with the village faster. Gah, but great, Karen's in love with me again (she was my wife in a previous game that's at its 6th Spring now) and I want to marry Ellie. She's a tough bitch to please, though. Very costly. All you have to do for Karen is give her wildberries, show her your dog a million times, and just talk to her. Aw, but she's an awesome character. Ellie doesn't really have much character to her, whereas Karen is kickin' with personality. ...And yes, I'm a little TOO addicted to the game. Well, whatever, if I end up with Karen again I guess I'm okay with that, but I'd rather marry someone else this time.

And I should be doing my Pre-Algebra now, shouldn't I?! Ally's Asian guy-friend is coming over tomorrow, and supposedly he's really hot. Lest we hope! Night!
