(no subject)
Feb. 10th, 2004 02:45 amI realized today...well yesterday actually, while talking to Matt in the OOC area of WF, how completely ironic this situation is...
Back when I was in highschool, when our little 'group' got started, Beth wound up being appointed the unoffical leader. And...well...things happened that really shouldn't happen to teenagers. Needless to say that position became a bit more offical then it was originally intended. She tried her best to keep everything together and keep us from losing our heads when we were needed...
I wound up getting kicked out the second year in to all this, my Junior year. I was sent to Portland. Of course while I was away, shit hit the fan more often then not. Fights started occuring more and more in the group, and I was left to try to counsel from threehundred miles away over IMs.
By the time I came back we had ruled that Beth go, Amanda making most of the 'she's becoming power hungry and jealous' claims. I followed, thinking it was all for the best. She became our worst enemy it seemed...everyone hated her for what she'd supposedly become..
Amanda became the new 'leader'...and it all went to hell from there. By two weeks before graduation everyone had turned on me for some odd reason, and the group had gone thier seperate ways. Amanda had become exactly, EXACTLY what she had accused Beth of being.
Amanda I still talk now days, but its on a very aquantaince basis. Most of the time she still manages to annoy the shit outta me.
I wound up moving across the street from Beth and a few months after graduation we finally started talking again. The subject's never come up about what exactly happened on that faithful day she turned and walked away from us, but there seems to be a mutal agreement between us that Amanda had made the claims to get power, and that forgiveness had been given either side from us.
Birdie and I no longer speak, Heather decided that she didn't much like me after my confession of being Bi. Lauren faded in to nonexistence, though her sister and I still talk sometimes. I have no idea what happened to Julie. Angel is a born again Christian, and we're still on very good speaking terms.
Anyway, I'm getting off my point...
Maybe I'm the only one, but I'm seeing striking simmilarties between this situation and the one with the guild. I'm sure there are plenty who would dissagree with me, or take a certain person's side...but you know what, I don't care...this is how I see things, and having been down this road once before I think I would be able to notice how alike things seem to be heading right now.
But, whatever...this is just my usual useless rant. I decided that after talking to Matt about it today that I should post it.
Its late...early rather...and I'm going to go try to sleep now. Maybe there'll be a more sensical post tomorrow. *shrugs*
