West Coast Chat Nut, Take Two

I know I don't blog anymore. Yadda yadda. Here, have some nuts:

Bryce--: Hi
Me: Howdy.
Bryce--: You remember me?
Me: I do.
Bryce--: heh
Bryce--: I thought you're profile said you were moving here last time
Me: It didn't. I had said I was applying to do my MA at UBC for Fall 2010.
Bryce--: Oh
Bryce--: That didn't pan out
Bryce--: ?
Me: It's seventeen months away. I haven't applied yet.
Bryce--: Oh
Bryce--: I don't know how much advanced planning these things take really
Me: Ah okay. Well me coming in here isn't advanced planning per se. Just wandering.
Me: And I'll be applying in the fall semester.
Bryce--: I didn't mean that.
Bryce--: I meant I didn't know how much advanced planning was required to get into UBC
Me: Ah. I'll be applying in the fall.
Bryce--: lol
Bryce--: Hm.
Bryce--: I thought I'd take a shot at recovery here, but I'm sensing it's not really happening.
Bryce--: Oh well
Me: No need to recover. I'm working on an article for the paper so I'm preoccupied. I actually just came on gay.com to look at fonts.
Bryce--: Ok then
Me: You were also very rude to me last we spoke, so I don't really have much of a desire to recover.
Bryce--: LOL. Yup, never let it just close without that last cutting statement.
Bryce--: Nice turnaround. It's a classic really.
Me: I'm justifying myself. You said "oh well" as though I should jump to my feet and feel bad that I'm not making a recovery with a complete stranger.
Bryce--: You're really reading too much into it.
Me: Oh well.
Bryce--: Maybe the actual fact is that you taking the time to email me after our chat kind of impressed me.
Bryce--: I didn't feel like you did it just to get one last dig in. I mean, I'm not so sure now, but at the time it didn't.
Bryce--: It seemed like your motives might have been more benevolent and that was kind of impressive.
Me: I'm not trying to dig anything. I just feel like you're so angry and I have no idea why.
Bryce--: But then I'm always impressed by the wrong things.
Bryce--: I'm actually not.
Bryce--: You just caught me on an off night.
Bryce--: Or I caught you I guess
Me: Well you very much come across as grumpy and angry and I was nothing but talkative. You basically said I was going to be a bitchy drug addict and it's ridiculous to say the least.
Bryce--: Hm.
Bryce--: Well I was trying to kinda start anew here.
Bryce--: You're not really making it so easy
Bryce--: And I'm not really inclined to bend over backwards for it. I'm sure you've had an off night at some time in your life too.
Bryce--: So take it for what it is.
Me: I'm very sorry but I'm not interested in "reconciling" with someone I don't know who is still doing the same thing, on an apparent not-off-night. Have a good night.

And then I blocked him. I'm always up for a good fight with an idiot, but he's so ridiculous, I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Anyway, blog is still here but I'm not coming back any time soon. School is over in three weeks and then I'm back to Toronto for four months. I got a job as the features editor with the school paper for the fall, so writing the blog is falling short on my list of priorities, sadly. Luckily, thanks to the magic of copious amounts of social networking online, I talk to most of you all the time. So, hooray for you!
