today i am going to tell you a story.
this is a not-so-love story. and I am not going to name names. So he will be Bobert and she will be Franny.

So bobert and I were engaged in an after school activity that required us to spend time together after school everyday. and it was great. I absolutely loved bobert and the other people I was hanging out with. and of course I decided that I loved bobert a little more than the rest of the people. actually, a lot more. and I wanted him to like me too. now, at this point in life all of my love advice came from my dear friend franny. but franny didn't know bobert and so she could not advise me. so i brought her with me to this after school activity.

and you know what? it only took her a week to tell me that bobert wasn't my type and I should like nameless third party. and so I told her I would, because of course I did everything she said (I had a bit of hero worship going on). and I pretended to stop liking bobert. after that it took her less than a week to decide she liked him despite the fact that she had a boyfriend. and I watched as she got him to fall in love with her, played with his feelings for about a week, and then decide she like the real boyfriend more and end the whole thing with a boom, crash, and bang.

this story is the second in a long chain of stories that start and end exactly like this. in fact it is the second in a chain of 5 stories, because I have liked 5 guys since then (there are a few more that end like that, but only five the start like that). and do you want to know what that now all too familiar ending is?

she blames the boy she canoodled with. boyfriend (who is the first story like this) is heart broken, but still believes she loves him because they are meant to be together. I console franny until I can talk boyfriend into forgiving her and she doesn't need me any more. and bobert (or the boy that is in bobert's place)? he is cast to the side by franny, never to hear another word from her and I can't go console him because it might upset franny and I don't want to do that.

any one else see the problems here? because I can point them out for you.

first: I must be stupid to letting franny walk all over me like this. she knows I like this boy, and she has her own boy. why do I think it is okay for my so called friend to take him away from me?

second: franny has a boyfriend. why does she think it is okay to take another boy away from any one, let alone her best friend?

third: boyfriend should quit forgiving her. she is not going to change. and they are not meant to be together because she doesn't treat him like he deserves to be treated.

fourth: poor bobert and his following heirs. does franny stop to think that maybe they have feelings? and that maybe they would appreciate it if she didn't stomp all over their hearts.

that is all I am going to say on the matter at the moment. but just so you know, it irritates me and I can say that now because I stopped caring about keeping franny happy with me. and the thing that pulled this out of my head is something bobert said on his blog. it made me mad with franny all over again. I hope he reads this, and it doesn't make him mad that I wrote it, and that he isn't mad at me for not warning him about franny, or for introducing them in the first place. I am sorry about that bobert.

eat some pie.
