sigh....

Misunderstandings erupt when the instructions aren't read. I know I made myself clear, but a misunderstanding occurred in spite of the best of my intentions. I couldn't have known that they felt as they did. I couldn't have known they were remotely serious about anything they mentioned. I mean, I am normally like that anyway with any and all of my friends at any time.

To make it worse, they dropped off of the face of the earth and I'll probably not hear from them again. That sucks immensely.
