why boys suck

So tonight i was again reminded why boys suck. Now i know when I say that i should qualify it in a way as to not include those boys/men in my life that don't actually suck such as my father, brothers, grandfather etc... but i feel as thought I don't really need to do that here because an astute reader would know to exclude those individuals. Anyway moving on to why boys suck...

Tonight I had a rather rough night, for reasons of which I will not go into at length here because they are some what besides the point. However, for sake of those readers who really wish to know I'll sum in up quickly. I got a rather unfortunate phone call tonight from a past fling who I'd decided to stay friends with. They had called to tell me that they and the person they were now seeing had had sex tonight and that it was amazing sex...and the conversation goes on from there plummeting me further into depression. This story alone is not why boys suck though. Oh no the reason that boys suck comes later so stay tuned for the next few paragraphs.

So I get this faithful phone call while babysitting at my neighbors house so I attempt to hold it together until the parents come home and I can go wallow at home in my bed. Once home I realize that there is really only one person that I want to talk to about this, my best friend Abby. However that plan is foiled by the fact that she is in fact not living in the country right now therefore she is not reachable. I then decide that for lack of Abby I would go on to ichat in hopes that someone would be online that I am close enough to that I can talk to about this. Well I can't say that that person was on ichat, because lets be honest at 11:30 pm on a Saturday there are not many people on ichat at all. So I was forced to settle for talking to this kid who (for sake of him not feeling like an ass should he ever read this) I will call Ted.

Ted and I are not really that good of friends, in fact that story of how Ted and I became not really friends is an interesting tale that ends with him proving men are dicks and me having a broken heart. The cliff notes version is this: Ted is a good friend of one of my close friends, lets call her Amy. And Amy decided that she thought Ted and I would hit it off so Ted and I began an online affair of sorts. We would talk to each other via the Internet until all hours of the night about all sorts of things. Well after a few weeks of doing this I started to get a crush on Ted and I thought the feel was mutual (mostly because Amy told me it was). Anyway to keep it short I'll skip ahead, one day I am talking to Ted online and he decides to confess that he recently got a girlfriend that he didn't tell me about. Well that kind of crushed me ever so slightly to the point that I absolutely kinda lost it and went off on Ted in a way that I had never gone off on a person before. It was not pretty and the things I said are things that a lady should never say, but he did in fact deserve it. Anyway after that happened Ted and I did not speak for a long time until one day he IMed me and we opened communication back up. I'm not really sure why we did but we did and tonight when I saw that he was online I was actually happy that we had.

So anyway back to why boys suck. So I look through my buddy list and find that Ted is the only person that I see as even close to fit to talk to about this. But I'm not sure how to bring it up with him so I do what most girls do when they want to talk about something but don't want to start the conversation. I put up a depressing away message about having a bad night and blah blah blah. Then I im Ted thinking that he will see it and get the hint to ask me whats wrong. Well Ted is either slow or just a dumb boy and doesn't pick up on the hint. So we are talking awkwardly about nothing really

ME: How was your night
TED: Oh you know
ME: what'd you do?
TED: Not much
ME: Oh slow night?
TED: Ya it was just low-key

And there in those few words was my opening, so I responded with:
ME: I was supposed to have a low key night

From that response he was supposed to get the hint to ask me what happened tonight, and THANK GOD he did. So he asked me what happened and I told him the shortened version and we talked about it for a few minutes but then he goes

TED: Hold on I'm gonna go take a shower

At that point I really wanted to jump through the computer and hit him....really you're mid-conversation with a girl about her having a bad night and you're going to go take a shower! Okay douche bag! But instead of getting angry I just let him go take his shower in hopes that he would come back and want to continue the conversation. BUT NO! He starts talking about showering and what not. And then he goes

TED: Well I'm gonna head to bed so I can get up early to get in a work out.

After saying that he signs off. Wow. Boys Suck. That's all I could think after that. I mean really, I know that we're not that close or anything but you couldn't spare me a few minutes of your life to help make me feel better? I needed someone to talk to and you were who I stupidly pick and after maybe five to ten minutes you decide to sign off. Thanks for nothing jerk off! This situation is exactly why boys suck.

They suck because when you really need them to care they don't. When you need them to listen and offer some kind of advice they decide to shower and go to bed. Okay yes there is a very good possibility that I am writing this all out of rage because I just really need someone to talk to and he wasn't there for me. Or I could just be right about boys sucking. Either way I'm pretty sure this is the longest blog I have written in a really long time. I hope you all enjoyed it and I expect comments to follow.

Good Night All
