Oh, before I forget...

The baby was here (Jenn promises to start scanning in pictures again so you can see more of her. I want an icon for me with the baby in it, and one for Jenn with both, and I'm pre-emptively declaring this so) earlier. I babysat while Jenn cleaned. We didn't go to Seth's rather belated Christening because we had no idea where it was. Sorry.

Before Jenn left, I said good-bye to them, and asked Evangeline - "Clap, baby!"

And she paused, blinked - and clapped.

Okay. She does like to clap, that could be a coincidence. So after she stopped, we sprung it on her again - "Clap!"

And she did, grinning to beat the band.

Did this once more, clapping on cue.

Gotta say, even if it's entirely a coincidence, she is one smart little baby.

(She also played with a paper bag, pouncing on it. Yea, verily, babies are like unto cats.)

because none of you have my number. I'm getting VERY fucking sick of being the ONLY one trying to keep up communication. Want an example? Seth called Ana for her third birthday (not that he did it to prove a point. we were talking and i mentioned that it was his cousins birthday, and he requested to say happy birthday to her). Did Seth recieve a call three days before? From, oh...I don't know...ANY of you? Nope. I mean really, even the ex of Chris' that I hate the most called him for his birthday. Chris' mother came all the way across the country for the chistening. None of you bothered to even TRY to get in contact. Yes, I have pretty much GIVEN UP.


Just sayin'...

Lizziey, last time I called you, just before the christianing, I *again* got the "not in service" message.

We wanted to go to the service with you, I wanted to meet up on Monday, but you didn't get in touch with us to tell us where the service was (which is definitely your responsibility) and we couldn't contact you.

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

oh, so because your phone screwed up my number, you couldn't get it from jenn? you couldn't email? leave a *god forbid* message on a post in my journal? (and yes, you still are not on my friends list. I can be just as stubborn as you. It was something i requested done, period.)

Face it, you don't *try*. Because your phone screwed up, it seems to have screwed your brain up in how to get in touch with me. Had you actually *cared*, you would have gotten in touch. Shit, jenn has been able to track me down when i disappear off the face fo the EARTH.
I'm sure it would NOT have been that hard. jenn's on my list...so is 'dul. hell, he even requested to be, as i asked.

I am SICK AND TIRED of being the one to do all the footwork. I always have been, barring when I had to be tracjed down because of having moved. I ALWAYS was the one to call, to visit, to do EVERYTHING. God forbid I think maybe YOU could try for once.

And monday, we left.

I was *calling* from Jenn's phone. I don't have your email at the moment. And no, I am *not* going to post in your journal while you're doing something I consider.. well, you know what I think about it. You don't see me removing people for refusing to fall at my feet begging to stay.

You had originally told me you were leaving Tuesday, and we were going to meet up Monday, do something with Seth. I'm sorry that I was mistaken on that point.

Thank you for admitting that your pride was more important to you than your "nephews". That says a LOT.

YOU don't remove people because you are an admitted comment whore. So the comparison is stupid.

You know where my grandmother's house is. You knew it was sunday morning. You could have shown up. The christening was a block away. You knew there was to be a party afterwards. Again, you know where my grandma lives. You could have attended.

you could have found an old comment to you that I posted, and contacted me that way. they point here is, you tried ONE way, it failed, you gave up. It obviously was not important to you. Or anyone else.

Its pretty sad that one person can ditch work for 4 days, fly across the country (while in the process of buying a house, no less), attend the christening. But you can't be bothered to travel a friggin mile to possibly see Seth, or even meet Topher.

Yeah, sorry if I am not buying it. Its a load of bull. But I don't expect you to see that. You are too wrapped up in yourself to see it, as shown by your second sentence in that last comment.

[conuly]

No, Lizziey, not my pride. I will not worry about maintaining this friendship with you when you remove people at the whim of "Well, gee, they didn't ask me to stay friends".

That's absurd.

I didn't know where this christianing was - you didn't tell me. Last time you came into the city, you didn't stay with your grandmother. Why would I have assumed you'd do so this time? I've had times where I've contacted your family, and been told that they didn't know where you were.

Funny, that is not why I did a friends cut. Perhaps if you had ever actually read my entries you'd have known that...?

I specifically said that Frannie. Was setting it up. In Staten Island. Gee, where else would I go on that Island? And we didnt stay with her. We stayed in Yonkers. And I brought my laptop with me. If you really wanted to, you could have gotten my email from jenn. My email is visable through friends only. OH, AND you can text message me on my phone...but that is set to friends only.

And you are still on chris' friends list, why not go through his journal? Too much effort? Not worth it?

really, Connie, that is the only thing Chris and I see from you. You have seen Seth a grand total of...once? Since before he was 2? And that was certainly not for my lack of trying. But it WAS very much for YOUR lack of caring. he wan't worth trekking to the Bronx to see, even though I was supposed to be on bedrest. he wasn't worth a little effort to see last month.

He seems so worthy in your eyes, I am shocked he's still on your userinfo. Its like, hey, you have Ana and Eva, what in the world would you need Seth or Topher for? Its not like Seth is a little human who liked you a lot or anything...

[conuly]

Lizziey, if that's not why you did a friends cut, why on earth is that your requirement for re-adding people to your list?

You're not the person I'd ideally like you to be. That's life. And I'm not the person you'd clearly like me to be. If Jenn et al. were to suddenly move cross-country, I probably wouldn't be the one keeping up ties with them. That's hard for me. If it weren't, I'd do it a lot more easily. It's hard for me to call people, I don't especially like talking on the phone, and I really don't like going through convolutions to talk to somebody who, as near as I can tell, is mad at me for not explicitly asking 'Stay friends with me!'

If you've decided we're not friends, fine. That's not something that makes me happy, but when I decide to interfere in your choices, it'll be over something a bit more important in the grand scheme of things.

[conuly]

I'm going to bed, so that gives you some time to think about your next comment. Or not. I certainly don't like to let my comments sit while I think about them. That's for wimps.
