This Entry is about You, Nan Milkcan!

I hate pessimistic, manipulative people.

You know the ones I'm talking about; the whiners and complainers, the pushers and passive aggressive guilters...all of them are the same, and all of them use the same methods.

Most of the time, they don't outright do anything that should offend you, but it's the coded message that pushes your buttons.

They twist them and they push and pull them, until you're ready to either cry or scream at the said person.

Example:

Daughter says, "I'm going out tonight."

Mother says, "Oh, all right. I guess I'll clean the house or something...by myself."

Translation: "I really envy you because you have a life and I don't, and so I'm going to sulk here all night, and not even attempt to have fun, because you're leaving me for the life that I don't have."

Now, the only thing that would make me more angry would be if this happened next:

Daughter says, "Oh, fine. I guess I'll stay home if you really want me too."

That would really, really piss me off. Because the only thing worse than pushers are the easily pushed.

I just can't fathom how

--Oh my god. What a little liar!!!!!--

Anyway, I just can't fathom how they can let someone else jerk them around like that.

And I hate holding my tongue. I hate it that I have to watch what I say so that I don't offend anyone. It should be like that, and it isn't anyway to live.

I just get fed up sometimes.

That was my rant.

So, I learned a new song on the piano. It's really cute. And no one is going to stop me from playing it, no matter how annoying they hint that it is. And I don't care if it's the same two notes over and over again...it's still a good song.

Grr....
