Different Kinds of People

I have met several kinds of people over the years. The "do-ers", who are probably about my favorite kind, are always doing something. They are motivated.  If they want something, they work toward it. In contrast are the "waiters". They sit around waiting for something to happen. If things aren't the way they like them, they feel sorry for themselves and wonder why God hates them. Then there are those who are stoned/drunk 90% of the time and don't know, or care, what's going on. The next kind are "all about you". They do everything in their power to make everyone else happy, at the risk of making themselves miserable. This type of person gets taken advantage of way too much.
 
The last type gets their own paragraph. Let me explain why. This blog is not for me to make random observations. No, no. This is for me to rant. AND HERE I GO!! 
 
A girl that I know was in the school play a few years ago. I will say that she was a very good actress. SO WERE MANY OTHER GIRLS. We had decided on two or three other girls that we thought were at the top, and those were the ones she saw as her competition. Losing to one of them would be no problem. Of course she would be disappointed, but it would be fine. After all, they had more acting experience and more charisma on the set. When the night came, however, she lost to someone we had not even considered. The reason she was not on our list was not at all because she was bad, because she wasn't, but because she was a newcomer, and the role did not require all that much acting. Anyway, as I said, losing to one of those considered would have been no problem for my friend. However, the fact that she lost to someone who she felt maybe didn't deserve it as much as some of the others was a slap in her face. By the end of the week, this was her:
 
"Mrs Director KNEW I deserved that award, but you know, if she gave it to Julie or someone then I would admit my defeat on get on with my life, but no, she had to give it to someone who didn't deserve it so that I would realize that she only wasn't giving it to me because she's mad at me for getting her in trouble two years ago. That is so immature. I KNOW that's why she did it. She really needs to get over that. I deserved it. She is such a witch!"
 
Now, being her best friend at the time, I sat there and listened. I mean, I tried convincing her that her idea was ridiculous. Mrs Director would not do something like that to "prove a point" or whatever she was supposedly doing. That would be retarded. If she didn't think the winner deserved it, she wouldn't have given it to her. Evidently, my friend did not realize that she was not the only one who lost. So then, I wonder, what did the other 10 girls do to piss the director off? DUH. They didn't win either, so there must be a reason, eh?? NO. Only one person can win, damnit.  And if she thought, let's just say, Julie, was the best, she would not make her lose and give someone horrible the pride of winning in an attempt to get back at someone for some trivial episode that happened two years before. The whole idea was preposterous. However, when she gets an idea in her head, there's no getting it out. I suppose in some ways that is a good thing, but it can be irritating as fuck. In fact, she was still sore about it the next year, and had some sort of squabble with the winner and another girl, because she was so sure that they were trying to get her in trouble. I don't even remember what the whole thing was about. I honestly don't know if that is due to memory loss or if I just stopped listening. For all I know, the girls she was fighting with might not have even known what it was about.

My ex-friend is the kind of person who thinks that everything is all about her. Everything everyone does or says in some was is directly related to her existence. Let me relay another episode:
 
While sitting in the library with her mother, Mrs Itzall Aboutme was passed by her ex-boyfriend's new chick and her mom. When Itzall's mom alerted her to the fact that Newgirlfriend was there, Itzall looked over to see Newgirlfriend's mom holding her daughter from behind, giving her a hug. Now it's BEYOND OBVIOUS that the hug Newgirlfriend received from her mother was to console her after the horrors of walking by Oldgirlfriend. I mean, mothers don't just hug their daughters for the hell of it. RIGHT??(note the sarcasm). See what I mean. Even something as innocent as that just HAD to have something to do with her.
 
Stay tuned for more rants about Itzall.
