Okay.

So I have pair of roommates, one seven years old, and one ten years old, who are more mature than several people are apparently acting right now.

I don't think anyone in this situation is blameless. You're _all_ being juvenile. Angelo, Clarice, you're telling me that you can't spend the couple of hours it would take to drive to Boston in a car with Manuel without resorting to violence? And not only that, that just because _you_ can't be mature enough to deal with him, he gets punished for it?

Manuel, your occasional over-the-top melodrama isn't exactly helping, but I can definitely see where you're coming from. If it's really a problem, and you really want to go, and also if the faculty would let me drive that far, _I_ will bloody well drive you to Boston.

And some of us are trying to work on projects and study for finals, here. It would be _greatly_ appreciated if people could stop making exasperated yelling noises and throwing things in frustration.

Thank you very much.

It is a nice thought...

And one I should have expected coming from you.

But thank you, no. If I am not wanted on my own merits, with everything that that entails, then I will not go.

I am not so selfish that I will ruin everyone's trip so that I can meet my friend.

(See, Doctor Samson? It may take me a while, but I can be taught!)

You're welcome, and I can understand your position. Thought I'd at least offer and try and come up with an alternate solution.

I never said he couldn't or shouldn't go. I thought of a way to remove MYSELF so he could go.

and yet, I'm the immature one?!

Yes.

Stabbings, remember?

you fence. it doesn't hurt.

Re: Yes.

I don't think that's really the point, Clarice.

Oh, that makes all the difference

[x-empath.livejournal.com]

Come into my room, Clarice. I'll stab you, and then you can tell me how much it doesn't hurt.

And when Moira and the other one and the big blue one are reinflating your lung, you can ponder the error of your words.

Are you reading? I said you are _all_ being immature. I am not singling anyone out here, but your whole "blood in the upholstery" comment wasn't exactly well-advised.

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

I read it, but my point is, I was BEING MATURE.

I love how some people can say something and it's fine and I say the same type of thing and it's immature and rude.

...

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Maturity and posts about blood and stabbings are not usually related, Clarice.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Again.

I am NOT singling you out, Clarice.

See above. You are _all_ being staggeringly immature.

Get over it.

Can someone point out where I said that, before this whole kerfuffle started? 'Cause I seem to have had a memory lapse and forgotten making a comment.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Okay, valid point. I may have _assumed_, given Manuel's comment about how several different people were making him feel unwelcome, and given your long-standing sniping match with him, that you were one of those parties.

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

There was some... sniping on Amanda's journal, but the subject of Boston never came up, until Amanda mentioned the problem of him and me in a car for several hours.

Not to worry. There will be Doug-destressing. I have decided and have procured assistants in my efforts.
