ranting....idk

We all have best friends. Those people we can go to and talk about anything and they will help us or talk to us. They will sit with us when we are bored, hurt, upset, happy, anytime! And they support us when we find something that will make us happy. At least that’s what I do for the people who consider me their best friends. My best friend here at Virginia Tech is Stephen and we have been best friends since like the 6th grade. We have basically hung out every weekend thru middle school and high school and even here we at least see each other once a day to do lunch or something. We have always been there for each other and we have never really fought, but for some reason the other day we got into a fight and didn’t speak for a day or two. But luckily we made up today. We got into a fight because I was going to visit an ex-girlfriend of mine and was going to rent a car on my friends UCarShare account. I told Stephen I was going and he told me I was wasting my time and having poor time management skill this weekend. That kind of bugged me when he said that because he always treats me like some child who doesn’t know what he is doing and he acts like he is all knowing and the most perfect person and knows exactly what people are supposed to do to be on track in life. Which pissed me off because anytime he wants to go home to see his girlfriend, I support him in that and I just say “yea it would be good for you to get to see her” because I know he knows what he has to do and can do it without me hounding on him to do it. But anyway I rented that car and as I was leaving he told me about hidden fees I didn’t see and instead of the price I thought it was going to be, $75, the prices was going to be almost $175! So I called to cancel this reservation for the car due to “family issues” and it worked out all fine. But since the account I was using was a girl I knew, when I called in to cancel it with a male figures voice they put a hold on the account due to “suspicious activity”. And once we cancelled that, we planned on going to UVA for Halloween to seen some friends we haven’t seen in forever, so we had everything planned out and I was supposed to reserve the car for our trip. When I went to reserve it, I couldn’t. The online system wouldn’t allow me too, so I called them and the man I talked to told me that the girls whose account would have to send in a scanned picture of her driver’s license and sign it. This will take the hold off the account and allow her to reserve the cars again. So now the account is locked down until she gets back in town on Tuesday and can send them a picture or her license that she has signed. So now I think the girl is going to be mad at me, everyone who was supposed to come to UVA with me is pissed (Stephen being one of them), and the people I was supposed to visit are pissed because I couldn’t come. And on top of that I have to use my sister car to go pick her up in Roanoke on Tuesday morning, because I can’t use the rented car to do that. So now my sister isn’t very happy with me either. Basically the simple act of me trying to rent this car and my best friend treating me like I am a child caused this fight. This fight also started the other night when I was driving two girls I know to Roanoke and Stephen came along with me to help me navigate. On our trip back he ended up flipping on me telling me that he doesn’t trust me to drive and that he doesn’t want to die and that I need to focus more. This kind of bugged me, but w/e. So then when we were planning on going to UVA, Stephen was going to drive because im am not allowed to drive, for reason right now I am not going to share, and one kid was like “yea, my parents don’t care if I go as long as I don’t die”. Stephen immediately responded with “hah, oh no. I am driving. You won’t die.” I stood there and was like, in my head ofcourse, “are you kidding me? Did u seriously just say that?” I was so annoyed by that point. I am not a bad driver; I just push limits more than other people do. I go a little over the speed limit, I may change lanes close to someone, or something as stupid as listening to music loud. I am not bad! I have been in more accidents then Stephen, but Stephen’s accident was worse than mine. All my accidents have been slight taps. I have hit 4 people. All 4 times I slightly tapped their bumper and there weren’t even scratches on the bumpers. People stop shot sometimes. It happens. But Stephen’s accident caused him to mess up his whole rear bumper and some of his rear side panel. So I don’t think anyone has room to talk in this situation. We have both been in accidents and we have both been driving about the same time. Just because he thinks he is a better driver doesn’t mean he actually is. I don’t know why, but it gets to me so much when people judge me on who I am and what I do, when they have their own faults and shit just like me. Who are they to talk? I don’t mind a simple, hey maybe what this a little, that can get you in trouble. Ok, thank you for telling me. But when u just rip me down and treat me like I don’t know what I am doing in life and that I am going to fuck some stuff up if you don’t step in my way, it bugs me more than anything else.
