I've been thinking about it.

I wasn't angry before. I was quite happy with the arrangement. Nobody had any problems with anybody. Just because I don't think you people are close friends material didn't mean we couldn't just remain casual friends.

You asked for the truth. I gave you my true and honest opinion. And you want to get upset about it? It's MY opinion. Yours may differ, but if you think mine is wrong, you point out why, you don't just get all upset about it. You may be able to overlook some of what I found wrong with those people. I can too, if they were casual acquaintances, but I also have the right to expect better of people, if I want to make them my close friends. So the way it goes now, I don't want to make those people my close friends. If you think I'm doing it because I don't think they are good enough, damn right, I don't think they are good enough. Their behavior can be downright deplorable at times, but I never had a problem with keeping them as casual friends.

You getting upset about it only made(Makes?) me worked-up, maybe angry, even, because you made it seem like I have THAT big a problem with them. Some things are never meant to be, some things just turn out the way they are. I can leave it at that. Why can't you?

If you think I'm being two-faced about it, I beg to differ. If being civil means being two-faced, then I'm guilty as charged. I just don't feel the need to talk it out all the time, especially when I have no problems with the way things are. They're happy, I'm happy.

Just remind me not to tell you stuff next time, because, in the words of Jack Nicholson in 'A Few Good Men,''you can't handle the truth,' it seems.

Boy, I sure hope you read this.

Goodnight.
