Venting >.<

[Ginger]

So. As the title says I just need to vent.

I'm in these three different Dance Classes this year, out of school. A Jazz class, a HipHop class and a HipHop duet.

So. Costume and recital fees are 160$ all together. The dance teacher decided to have this thing called a Dance-a-thon to raise money for it. We get our neighbors and friends to pledge certain amounts of money for each hour we dance. I plan on dancing for the entire 6 hours straight. I got the pledge form yesterday night, so of course I rush home today to ask one of my friends whether or not she want's to give the small pledge of 25 cents an hour, coming to a grande total of 1.75$

Now most of you would probably think this was a reasonable request, yes? Well apparently not to her. She told me that she couldn't see any benefit for her and that if I couldn't afford to pay for it, then my Dance Skills and Dance Class were obviously not good.

I swear to god I feel like someone just stabbed me in the gut then twisted the dagger a million times. I honestly thought she was better then that. I honestly thought she'd be happy for me and encouraging about trying to Dance for 6 hours straight, because, contrary to popular belief, it takes a lot of physical work to do that. But no. She had to tell me that she wouldn't pledge because she didn't see any benefits for her, and that me and my classes were bad.

Honestly, I feel like screaming right now.

Wow. Um. Nice friend there. Don't feel bad! I'm sure your dancing is great. Don't let it get to you!

[Ginger]

Haha, I was more upset that she said no one tries. Because whenever ANYONE steps into the studio they forget all their troubles and just dance them away, so it's basically like everyone giving 120%.
I was just ticked that for once she couldn't let what was happening in my life shine. We usually talk about all the junk that goes on in her life, I'm basically her 'Little Psychiatrist'

And she USED to be really nice, but since she started having some problem she's gotten super moody and rude xP

[Hades]

Well, tolerance for now would be the way to go. I'll modify the plot so you don't have to do it. Go dance your worries away!! XD

[Ginger]

Haha, oh I will xD

And thank you! I completely forgot about that. Hows the app for characters going?

[Hades]

I be done! The rules kind of need to be revised also. First read the rules, post in the members list, write an app, then do the claims. Then face claim which we need to make sooner or later.

[Ginger]

Yup!

[Caly Meer]

Some friend. Really? A $1.75 is too much to ask? That's beyond stupid. -huggles- good luck at the dance!!

[Ginger]

Thanks! Ya...
And then she just messaged me saying this;

"i didn't think it would, but i apologize that it did."

That was her answer to this (that I wrote);

"It's not the money. It's how you said it
Think about that for a few seconds, think about how that would have made me feel"

And now I don't know what to do...

[Caly Meer]

I guess maybe if it's the first time she's done something like this, you should maybe give her a second chance. But if she's done stuff like this before, maybe you should rethink the friendship.

[Hades]

I don't think that's sincere enough for an apology...I agree with Caly.

[Ginger]

-sighs-

I dunno. She's been having a pretty rough time for the past two weeks which is when the fighting started xP
She's gay, and we live in a REALLY conservative place so it's been hard for her, and her dad's not accepting it. But even then it doesn't give her the right to make me feel bad. I dunno. When I read it I still felt mad, more that she still isn't realizing what she's doing then anything else. And that she can't be happy and supportive for the stuff going on in my life like I am for herrrr

[Athena]

I understand about the not thinking thing. I almost always speak before I think and it does get me into a bit of trouble at times. Especially amoung friends. Personally, I prefer appologise to and with others not on text, so things can be understood. And if she's going through a hard time it does make it more understandable. Giving her another chance is a good idea. Unless you feel that it is something that is going to keep coming up as a problem, in which case it needs more thought about whether you can keep up emotionally.

I understand about dance being tiring. And good luck with the dancing!

[Ginger]

Ya.. I dunno, I think I'll wait and see what happens on Monday XP

Anywhoooo, ya! I've gotten about 95$ in pledge money already from cousins, aunts, neighbors and other friends!!
