News Flash: Nelly Stands Up for Herself
Originally I invited her over to *talk* to her and have some light lunch and watch a movie... but it ended with her just yelling at me and storming out of my apartment. Oh well.
I politely pointed out that if I was in her shoes and she or my brother were sick, I'd drop everything and come see her. What I *wouldn't* do is drag my BF or dog along against their will and hold them in captivity for 12 days, then make it seem like it was for their own good.
I also told her it was her quest and hers alone, that she shouldn't be going behind my back making plans for me, and that 12 days in a foreign country is not a compromise when I said I could only stand it for a week.
She just kept yelling "That's what kids DO" at me, meaning I should just go and shut up about it.
So then I said I'm not interested in going, and I never was. She took it in stride, screaming and yelling at me and slamming the door on her way out. I can't wait to see what's going to happen. It'll either be:
Option #1. She calls me calmly in 2 days telling me my tickets are ready, or
#2. She politely forgets our conversation ever happened, and heads off to France, making sure to cll me constantly and tell me what a great time she's having, putting relatives on the phone for added discomfort.
Maybe I can quietly move to Canada or something. I hear Vancouver's nice this time of year. Anybody got any idea of a good hiding place for a tall blonde? I fold easily and don't make too much noise...!
