People piss me off!!

Within the last 24 hours 2 people have been added to my “People I’d like to biff off a cliff” list.

First is one of the new girls in my class. We got 3 new people with us who failed the test for the level above us, so they had to come back and do this section over. One is from China, and I dunno where they other two are from, Morocco I think. I don’t know their names, at this point I call them “The Chinese one”, “The one with the thing on her head” and “The Bitch”.

The Chinese one is pretty quiet, the one with the thing on her head seems pretty cool, the Bitch.. well, you can guess.

Yesterday was her first day with us, the other 2 have been with us for a few days. During class one of the African girls was asking me to explain something the teacher said. You see our teachers speak 100% Dutch and if you don’t understand something they say, they explain it in Dutch. The majority of the time I understand them, but a lot of the other students don’t. So the english speaking ones will ask me to explain it to them. So when I was explaining this one bit to my African friend, the Bitch leaned over and said “You should be speaking Dutch, not English! If you speak Dutch it is easier for you and for HER and for ME!”. Which is true, but she said it in a very bitchy tone and didn’t quite get the fact that if the teacher said something in Dutch and my friend didn’t understand it, and then explained it in Dutch and she still didn’t understand it… chances are she sure as hell wouldn’t understand it if I tried to explain it in Dutch. So not only was she slightly clueless, she was RUDE!

The best part is, for almost the entire class, she and the one with the thing on her head were blabbing their asses off in French, which was totally disruptive to the class. I could see people all over the room shooting “What the fuck is it with those two?!” looks at each other. I’m not sure why our teacher didn’t tell them to shut their yaps but I’m sure they’ll only tolerate it for so long.

So, I can’t speak English to explain something about the class… but they can discuss god knows what in French, while not paying attention TO the class. Yeah that’s smarts! I can see she and I are going to get along beautifully..

The second person to get on my list is The Breeder. I have this friend I met a few years ago that I’ve hung out with a few times. She’s 2 years younger than me and is now pregnant with her 5th child (yes, FIFTH). Xander and I have gotten together with her and her family. The last time we saw them was over a year ago. Whenever I spoke to her she’d ask when we were going to see them, but they only ever came here once. Which got on my nerves seeing as they have a car and we don’t, but that’s another story.

The ONLY times I’ve heard from her in the past year was when she wanted to 1) Bitch about the people who she’s living with or 2) Tell me she’s pregnant.

Now this is someone who has known the whole story with Xander and I, that we are trying to get pregnant for over a year and haven’t been having any luck. She knows I’m sensitive about it etc. Does that stop her from calling me after months of being blown off whenever I message her online with her “I’m PREGNANT!” talk, no.. of course not. That would require thinking about someone other than herself.

The first time she went on about it nonstop, and I did the “Oh I’m so happy for you!” thing (which I was at that time). She ended up losing the baby and calling me up telling me how she saw the little blob in the toilet, nice.

She called again last night and it took every bit of strength I had to say “Ohhh Congratulations! You must be so excited! Well gotta go watch a movie I’ll call you tomorrow (read: never)”.

Now, don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I’m not happy for friends who have gotten pregnant. That damn Kimmy is on her 2nd now (*Winks at Kimmy*) and just found out she’s having a BOY and I’m thrilled to death for her. A mutual friend of mine and Xander’s, Kibbie, is about to have a little GIRL and I’m equally happy for her. I have other friends as well who are in various stages of pregnancy and while I envy the shit out of them, I’m truly happy for them.

I think it’s because they also show an active interest in my life. It’s not all about them. Which it is with The Breeder usually, all about her. So am I happy for her? Meh, I guess.. I mean I should be as her “Friend” (I use that term very loosely now). The bigger part of me just thinks very bitter thoughts about things she should be doing with the children she already has (Like, perhaps getting her 4 year old out of diapers or focusing on going to see the 2 she left behind in the states), before having any more.

Anyway, Fuck The Bitch and Fuck The Breeder too.. maybe I should introduce them and The Bitch can mouth off at The Breeder and tell her what an insensitive, selfish cow she is.
