Bernie Sanders [OG]: I don't think I even want his money.
Jerusalem Jones: girrrrl please
Bernie Sanders [OG]: I am absolutely disgusted that he wouldn't even try to consider why we were even friends to begin with, and just shove me in the trash like I'm nobody.
Bernie Sanders [OG]: But really, how can anyone have the nerve of blaming me for talking about them behind their back, when all they do is keep their back turned to me?
Bernie Sanders [OG]: I know you like Steven and stuff, but this is honestly really shitty of him. I'd rather have him back then his fucking money.
Bernie Sanders [OG]: *than
Jerusalem Jones: soooo you do want him back, then
Bernie Sanders [OG]: jsflgjsg not like that
Bernie Sanders [OG]: I was going to put a disclaimer in parentheses because i thought you'd get that's not what I meant, hahaha
Bernie Sanders [OG]: er
Bernie Sanders [OG]: wasn't sure
Jerusalem Jones: i think you're letting your emotions get in the way of what's important here
Jerusalem Jones: you need money
Jerusalem Jones: steven has money
Jerusalem Jones: and he owes you money
Jerusalem Jones: and -you need money-
Bernie Sanders [OG]: it feels like goddamn dirty money though.
Jerusalem Jones: who cares, it's money
Jerusalem Jones: worse things have been done with it
Jerusalem Jones: worse things have been associated with it
Jerusalem Jones: but we all still n e e d it
Bernie Sanders [OG]: the thing is though, I have to keep corresponding with him if I want my money. I want him as far away from my life as possible at this point.
Bernie Sanders [OG]: (don't relay that to him)
Jerusalem Jones: too late
Bernie Sanders [OG]: wh
Jerusalem Jones: also: this correspondence seems to be so far
Jerusalem Jones: only one way
Jerusalem Jones: and it seems this correspondence
Jerusalem Jones: will continue being one way
Jerusalem Jones: so just leave it at that
Jerusalem Jones: steven's an honourable dude
Jerusalem Jones: he'll get you your money because he said he will get you the money
Jerusalem Jones: you don't -have- to keep talking to him if it just brings you the sads
Bernie Sanders [OG]: He would probably need some sort of nudge to be reminded.
Jerusalem Jones: hmm, i don't think so
Jerusalem Jones: i think it's been pretty much ground into his head by now
Jerusalem Jones: i mean
Jerusalem Jones: 180 bux is a lot of bux
Jerusalem Jones: and i know steven's the kind of dude who keeps his word
Jerusalem Jones: he's a great guy, y'know?
Jerusalem Jones: and
Jerusalem Jones: if he doesn't get you the money, then i will
Bernie Sanders [OG]: This is all giving me the opposite impression. Even if he does give me the money, his reaction to there being a problem with our friendship is to toss it under the bus instead of trying to fix it.
Bernie Sanders [OG]: That matters more to me.
Jerusalem Jones: i think he's at the point where the bus is the best possible solution
Jerusalem Jones: though i don't -quite- totally understand why
Bernie Sanders [OG]: Me either!
Bernie Sanders [OG]: He lists off a shit load of things he wants me to change about my behavior
Bernie Sanders [OG]: and then just a few days later, he decides to pull that prank on me.
Jerusalem Jones: it wasn't really a decision haha
Jerusalem Jones: spur of the moment jollies
Jerusalem Jones: well uh
Jerusalem Jones: why not try working on those things for a while
Jerusalem Jones: away from steven
Jerusalem Jones: and maybe
Jerusalem Jones: give him a small list of things he can work on too? and then come back together at some point and
Jerusalem Jones: see how much you've both improved for eachother
Bernie Sanders [OG]: I guess.
Jerusalem Jones: i mean, if you're up for the whole saving the realtionship thing
Bernie Sanders [OG]: Just posed that to him.
Jerusalem Jones: it depends on if he is too though
