Lifestyles of the poor and nameless

I was watching a movie on my computer when an IM from "Brad" popped up. I haven't spoken to him in about 6 months. Brad and I were chat buddies in late 2002/early 2003. He wanted to meet up, but he seemed a little desperate, so I declined the meeting.

About a year later, I saw him on IM and he told me that he got a girlfriend. Good for him. Of course, next came "so are YOU seeing anyone? No? Oh". And later..."well, maybe if you had gone out with me back then you wouldn't have been single." Ugh. Whatever.

So this week, Brad asks if I'm still in PA. I tell him that I am and he says "cool. I got married 6 months ago. My wife and I just moved to PA also....but we're only here until she finishes her residency." Mother#%^&* did I ASK you about your wife or her residency? No. So why the !@#% are you bringing it up?

If he'd let me ask the questions and the answer happened to be that he's married and his wife is doing her thing, I might have felt like maybe I missed something. Instead, I just think he's pathetic.
