Be Careful Who Your Friends Are

I find people to be stupid by association. If you're friends with someone who I have had words with in the past, and through those words determined that person to be a waste of oxygen, you are therefore stupid by association.

I figured I should explain that on the off chance that you're one of those stupid people and would need an explanation.

I can and have remained friends with people who have maintained associations with people I don't deem worthy enough to piss on if they should ever find themselves to be on fire, but those instances are few and far between. It has lead people to accusing me of being an immature pain in the ass for assuming that everyone should think the same way as me.

Allow me to clarify for a moment. You see, I'm never going to tell you who you can and cannot associate with. You are free to be friends with whomever you choose. That is your prerogative and you should exercise that as often as I exercise the same. Just don't think that I have to be friends with you based on any kind of guideline that you thought was previously established between the two of us.

If I find someone out there in this world to be an idiot and you happen to hold them close to the vest, I will assume that you share similar trains of thought that they do. Is this breaking down well enough for you? It means that you more than likely will think things that I feel are stupid. Then I have to determine if you think like a normal human more often than you think like a typical street-moron. More often than not, you're not going to come out on the positive side in my mind.

I don't mind throwing people like that away. Granted, I don't have many friends. I keep very, very few people close to me. The rest I smile and posture with, allowing them to believe that they're within my circle. They're really in proximity of the circle. I can make people feel as if they're included even though they're really not. And if they end up being friends with people that I don't care for, kicking them outside of the proximity is very easy for me to do.

I guess that's why it hurts so much when one of the people that I've included in the inner circle turns out to be less than what I expected. I will cut off ties with that person at a great deal of discomfort to myself. And good luck at trying to get me to trust you ever again. As much as I don't like to have to abandon one of the small numbers, I will. And I will NEVER view you in the same light again.

Sound unreasonable? Well, here's the point in the conversation where you can decide that I'm not someone that you want to be friends with. If you think that I'm a crazy bitch, chances are you're right in the frame in which your mind determines someone to be a crazy bitch. And if you don't like having crazy bitches within your inner circle, well... I guess I'm getting kicked out of your circle, now aren't I?

I needed to rant. Of course, it could be the Lily Allen playing in my ear. If you haven't heard of her, look her up. If you don't like her... well...

You know the drill.
