I used to be
kind of a pushover, you guys. I would wait around for people because I assumed that was what you were supposed to do and that it was worthwhile. One summer, I'd laze around the house every day until my guy friend called me.
No, I thought,
I'm not going to text him. He can call me. But wait...maybe he's busy. Maybe he forgot to call me. I should probably just wait by the phone in case he calls. Sad. Grim. Pathetic.
Anyway, since then, I've learned that there is rarely a natural disaster in place; nobody has died; he just didn't care. But Ben Folds summed the whole feeling of patheticism pretty well. Check out Annie Waits:

Yup. when you know he's just not that into you

Wow, there is not question in this post
"Sad. Grim. Pathetic."
Sounds like an artist.
I loved this song when I was in middle school. Still do.
Not a fan of the WASO version of the song...
But I do love Ben Folds!
that was a woeful song. I now don't like Ben folds.
but good statement. someone who cares does just that, show that they care
man im doing that right now. waiting for a stupid phone call.
that's it, i'm not gonna pick up when he calls.
This song is kind of my life. I only wait for so many people for so long, but still... most people always leave me disappointed, the waiting (for whatever--a phone call, an e-mail, for them to show up somewhere they said they'd meet me) in vain. And it goes for guys and girls, not in the realm of dating. Then I give up on them, sadly but determinedly. I don't have time for that BS but sometimes it still makes me sad that no one ever does what the fuck they say they're fucking going to do.
I'm just a little bitter.
Right on. It's through these times when we realize who our real friends are. Unless something really did happen, then hopefully it can be cleared up afterwards and maybe made up for.
