Off topic

Well, only the first bit's of topic, don't know what the rest is. Just wanted to start of by saying that it is day two of the World Cup, and I'm already sick and tired of it. I mean, we're not even in it for crying out loud! And I guess working in an enviroment where there's just about 90% men doesn't better the situation.

Anyways, wanted to tell you about my Thursday night (this is not a pleasant story). Had a barbecue with my study group and one of the other groups from my class. I was having a pretty good night, just drinking and chatting until one of the guys from the other group decided to tell me his honest opinion about me. This is a guy I have hardly spoken to in the past year, simply because we have nothing in common, but apparently he still thought he knew everything about me and the kind og person I am (and it wasn't good). I tried in my calmest manner to explain my view of it all, he told me I was full of shit and some other pretty horrible things and I ended the conversation by sitting myself down somewhere else than right next to him.

The problem now was that he kept on provoking me all night by coming up to me and adding to the insults. I asked him to leave me alone, but it just didn't work. In the end he picked up a girl from my old English class and forgot about me, but by then my night was pretty much ruined.

One of the other guys told me that I shouldn't care what he said to me, since he wasn't a person whose opinion mattered to me. And I agree that I would've been really upset, if one of my friends would have said those things to me, but the point is that they actually know me, and therefore wouldn't. He was just trying to make himself feel better by putting me "in a box", and I really don't give a shit about his reasons; he had no right.

Oh yeah, one of the things he knew for sure about me was that I, on several occasions, had talked about him behind his back. Well, I wouldn't call this behind anyone's back...
