Lifestyles of the poor and nameless

I think it must be a full moon or something, because my friends are acting rather strange.

Sunday night I was talking to a friend and his cell phone cut off. It cut off again twice in the course of our conversation. After the last time, another friend of mine called, and I actually had to take that phone call. Friend #1 called back and I told him that I was going to take that other call. I think I must have said something smartass like "the hotline is open, take a number". But that's just me being silly (as usual) and not trying to imply "I'm so important".

The next day I get an email from him saying that he was mad at me for saying that, he hates when people play games with him and he felt like that's what I was doing; also that I shouldn't have called him and talked to him for 2 minutes and then left. OK, EWWWW.

I have known this guy for about 10 months. To me, he's purely a platonic friend. Purely. Keep in mind that I had already talked to him for an hour earlier in the day. Maybe I shouldn't have been a smartass and said the whole take a number thing, but honestly, that was just my sarcasm. I didn't see the need for him to accuse me of playing games. This is the second time he has accused me of that. The first was when he wanted to hang out with me, but I told him I couldn't because I was studying for the bar exam. I told him I wasn't going out until after the test was over (about a month and a half). He thought that was a bogus excuse not to hang out. When I'm studying for the bar, I tend not to go out at all. That's just me though.

So I sent an email apologizing for the comment, but reminding him that I can't have him questioning my integrity every couple months. If a person has known me for that long and they still think that's what I'm about, then they can take that where? Back there. (Wendy Williams, y'all!) Ugh. Can't we all just get along?!
