My reallife friend-circle has a serious douchebag-phase.
We canceled the past 3 Pen & paper Sessions last minute for various reasons.
Once Girlfriend of A was feeling bad and needed consolation. Fine.
Then B appearantly just doesnt feel all that great right before the session starts. Fair enough.
B and C argue the following week and refuse playing with each other. Geez!
A cancles the next session an hour before it commences, because he feels tat there is still "tension". Reeeeally?
We had a lot of this stuff before, and I am basicall fed up with it now. I announced that I was out of the picture for two weeks for them to get their shit sorted out, since I'm tired of keeping the weekend free for a session that plain doesnt happen 50% of the time. I expect at least SOME trusworthiness out of these guys, if I can show up on date on time, they can as well. Guess what? They will now play without me on those two weeks, if the session even happens that is. "So you can cool off."
Generally, it's just really annoying currently. Every time we talk over Skype or meet up, someone uses the time we spend together to cry NONSTOP. I have an open ear for issues, but after a 12 hour day with barely enough sleep to not fall over, I'd like at least SOME enjoyment out of my free time. If I even dare bring up playing something to counter boredom and cheering up, I get the usual "It's all about gaming with you.". And then they wonder why I prefer spending time with my gaming buddies, instead of the "ultra srs bsns whine-brigade" who all have to gloat with their Girlfriend, complain about their ultrahard apprenticeships and remind me, what a sad fuck I appearantly am for spending my free time with games and books.
Congratulations guys, you managed to get a job and fuck! I had that covered for the first time 3 years ago, albeit one was horrible and the other ended in raging dissapointment. Can we do something fun now, or should I start thinking about getting somemoney out of the salt you guys are whining into the conversation?
Seriously, I tried to move away from plain talking to my Online-Buddies over Skype every evening, because I thought theres some merit to the "You only know them Online, so they dont count as social contacts"-complain I sometimes get. But...I actually LIKE these people and have fun with them. I think i'll go back to the "I spend my free time however I want, so go fuck yourself."-attitude.
