[21:38] ThenKriSaid: so angie
[21:38] ThenKriSaid: tell me
[21:38] ThenKriSaid: you're saying i should not raid
[21:38] ThenKriSaid: right?
[21:38] ThenKriSaid: and stop school and work, because it interferes with talking to you?
(21:54:06) Angela: no
(21:54:13) Angela: here's what i'm saying
(21:54:23) Angela: there is unbalance
(21:54:27) Angela: i don't know if it's on your side
(21:54:31) Angela: or if it's on my side
(21:54:38) Angela: if i'm trying to take too much of your time
(21:54:43) Angela: or if i'm not getting enough of your attention
(21:54:51) Angela: but something, in my mind, isn't right.
(21:55:06) Patrick: you do this every time you go back home from seeing me
(21:55:09) Patrick: i think its that
(21:55:16) Angela: could be.
(21:55:20) Angela: however...
(21:55:23) Angela: consider this
(21:55:32) Angela: I come home, and want to spend time with you
(21:55:42) Angela: In the first couple days, I don't get to...which in turn annoys me
(21:55:51) Angela: and i just give up, being annoyed, and wander off for the rest of the week
(21:56:13) Angela: you shouldn't have to choose between me or raid.
(21:56:16) Angela: i don't want to do that
(21:56:22) Angela: i just want something...
(21:56:27) Angela: i don't know when i'll get to talk to you next
(21:56:32) Angela: if i just knew...
(21:56:43) Angela: i wouldn't be trying to snag you at the next available second
(21:57:21) Angela: here's my perspective, if it helps...
(21:57:28) Angela: we have a fantastic weekend.
(21:57:30) Angela: i go home
(21:57:41) Angela: i accept that we were together all weekend, and you're gaming on monday night...
(21:57:47) Angela: i say i miss you, and leave you alone
(21:57:52) Angela: tuesday, you /know/ i miss you
(21:57:58) Angela: i told you i did
(21:58:21) Angela: but you seem to not care about fixing the situation
(21:58:32) Angela: which could be a misstranslation
(21:58:40) Angela: and then i get annoyed that you're ignoring me
(21:58:51) Patrick: im not ignoring you
(21:58:53) Angela: and i just say to hell with it, and leave you alone
(21:59:06) Angela: and then we have a great weekend
(21:59:10) Angela: and the cycle repeats
(21:59:13) Patrick: dfcgbjhkml okay angie stop
(21:59:21) Patrick: i get it
(21:59:23) Patrick: i know how it goes
(21:59:35) Angela: k
(21:59:41) Patrick: but once again, ive told you. i have my hobbies, just like you have yours
(21:59:50) Patrick: after several days from being away from them
(21:59:56) Patrick: its hard to get back into the jist of things
(22:00:18) Angela: and i have mine.
(22:00:45) Angela: that's not the end of the topic though.
(22:00:59) Angela: you have your hobbies, you also have me
(22:01:09) Patrick: honestly i dont know what to tell you. im sorry i want to raid. im sorry for trying to be with my friends, as you go out and be with yours when i sometimes want to talk to you
(22:01:10) Angela: and where, in your schedule, are you going to balance those?
(22:01:11) Patrick: but i have no say in that
(22:01:35) Angela: i don't want you to be sorry pat.
(22:01:40) Angela: i'm not mad that you're doing these things.
(22:01:50) Angela: you should have a life, you should game, you should have your friends.
(22:02:06) Angela: i should also know, if i'm going to be included in that, OTHER than in the weekends?
(22:02:10) Angela: should i expect to be included?
(22:02:20) Angela: should i expect that I should only see you on the weekends?
(22:02:23) Patrick: angie
(22:02:28) Angela: give me some guidelines here...please..
(22:02:31) Patrick: angie
(22:02:47) Patrick: how many times have i told you now that i want to stay with you
(22:02:56) Angela: this has nothing to do with staying with me
(22:02:59) Angela: i know you will
(22:03:08) Angela: this has everything to do with what i should expect as balance.
(22:03:25) Patrick: im a college student working and being a full time student
(22:03:27) Angela: just tell me what you want.
(22:03:29) Patrick: there is no balance for my life right now
(22:04:21) Patrick: what i want? i want you to stop asking about this same stuff every time a weekend ends. you know my replies, you know how much i want to see you again, you know how much i like you, you know i want to talk to you
(22:04:24) Patrick: you know all this
(22:04:30) Patrick: why keep bringing it up? =/
(22:04:54) Angela: well apparently i'm not getting it.
(22:04:59) Angela: so please, just answer me directly
(22:05:02) Angela: i won't bring it up anymore
(22:05:43) Angela: i know you're busy, you have a life, you have friends, and you have hobbies.
(22:05:49) Angela: Where, in that picture, do I fit?
(22:06:12) Angela: Do I fit in the weekends only, with a few phone calls and lines on IM here and there?
(22:06:36) Patrick: does every day have to have a full 5 hour conversation? =/
(22:06:40) Angela: no
(22:07:02) Patrick: you're going to be driven insane on a local relationship sweety
(22:07:18) Patrick: im not going to be in communcation with you 24/7 once i get to cape
(22:07:26) Angela: I don't expect you to.
(22:07:53) Angela: all i'm trying to figure out right now, is how much or how little to expect...
(22:07:58) Angela: that's it
(22:08:05) Angela: i'm not critizing you, i'm not demanding anything
(22:08:40) Angela: i just want to know how much time i should expect to spend with you...that's it.
(22:09:29) Patrick: i dont know right now
(22:09:55) Patrick: you cant except me to answer that with as much shit im going through right now
(22:10:03) Angela: then i'm going to set a standard, and we can adjust it as needed.
(22:10:14) Angela: we spend the weekends together, when we can
(22:10:19) Angela: you call me when you can
(22:10:24) Patrick: angie, we're not setting a standard basis by how much time i need to spend with you in a week
(22:10:24) Angela: and i'll call you occasionally
(22:10:26) Angela: and that's it
(22:10:27) Angela: okay?
(22:10:43) Angela: well something has to be set
(22:10:49) Angela: because we're driving each other insane right now :P
(22:10:53) Patrick: angie, when im not at school, im working. when im not working or at school, i have homework
(22:11:00) Patrick: i can be on AIM or whatever all the time at home
(22:11:06) Patrick: but phones are a bad thing with homework
(22:11:23) Angela: okay.
(22:11:33) Patrick: and you dont want to talk on the phone while i raid
(22:11:53) Angela: so, per that statement...i'll expect to have the weekends together (when we can) and i'll let you let me know when you have time to talk to me on IM
(22:12:12) Angela: that should accomodate your schedule.
(22:12:44) Angela: if that's not enough, then i'll retract my statement about calls during raids..
(22:12:49) Angela: and simply take it as a compromise.
(22:12:54) Angela: kay?
(22:13:06) Patrick: if that makes you happy
(22:13:08) Angela: in fact, i'll retract it right now.
(22:13:12) Angela: no
(22:13:13) Angela: not me
(22:13:14) Angela: us
(22:13:30) Angela: are you happy with these expectations?
(22:13:40) Patrick: apparently you. im perfectly fine with talking to you as much as i do. i talk to you EVERY day. what more are you wanting?
(22:14:46) Angela: that line, right there, was precisely what i needed you to say.
(22:15:10) Angela: how much i should expect.
(22:15:18) Patrick: angie
(22:15:21) Angela: no
(22:15:24) Patrick: name a day i havent spoken to you
(22:15:44) Angela: it doesn't work like that with me.
(22:15:53) Angela: name a day when i felt like you've really spent time with me
(22:15:56) Angela: sunday
(22:16:09) Angela: but..that doesn't matter
(22:16:10) Patrick: because im with you
(22:16:20) Angela: this conversation has come full circle
(22:16:24) Angela: i got the information that i needed.
(22:16:29) Angela: thank you (=
(22:16:37) Patrick: whatever ><
(22:16:51) Angela: don't whatever me.
(22:16:57) Angela: don't brush me off to the side
(22:16:59) Angela: i hate that
(22:17:09) Angela: this is important to me.
(22:17:26) Angela: ...please )=
(22:17:41) Patrick: angie
(22:17:51) Patrick: this is really annoying. it makes no sense
(22:17:59) Angela: yes, it is really annoying
(22:18:23) Angela: and it all has to do with perspectives.
(22:18:59) Angela: so here's what i'm going to do. I got the information that I needed from this conversation. let's both take a break...you go back to what you were doing, and i'll go back to what i was doing.
(22:19:11) Patrick: we're done
(22:19:16) Patrick: i have nothing to go back to
(22:19:42) Angela: then how about we just table it and move forward?
