Well, it certainly seems that this has caused a little tiff now hasn't it? Guilt trips, emotional breakdowns, tears, anger, pain, wrath... Oh this sounds like Junior year all over again! Yay! I remember how fun that was! -dripping sarcasm-
Now, some of you may know whats up and some of you don't. To be blunt, I've quit the club. Shocker, I know! ... Not really. You see, as a lot of people know now, I was the Internet Officer for the club and I strove to do the best I could during it. Eventually, and I'm not taking the credit for it at all, I managed to clean up the web sites that the club frequented and used as temporary 'home bases' for whatever it was they were doing at this point.
Ok, nice jazzy story, right? Well, bear with me. The story gets rougher as it goes along. You see, there was this guy... Red we called him, right? Well, he was a rather terror on the forums and he did a lot of stupid shait that pissed a lot of people off. Battles raged back and forth on the forums which I had to mediate. Typically I was on the side of the others... but occasionally I did have to crack down on some particularly overbearing members. Soon enough, he graduated and we no longer had to deal with him. Yay!
Now, moving into my senior year, things where going... ok. I finally was allowed to announce the fact that I held the position (because I would no longer be considered biast by certain persons above mentioned) and I was finally allowed to stand with the other officers during club meetings and sit in on officer meetings. I feel important! Whee! I actually feel like I'm doing something that matters rather then clean up duty.
None the less, another issue pops up with a guy I'll just call Kratos (He loves God of War) and his conduct on the forums. I rush in all knight in shining armor style and start moderating, right? Well, lovely, cuz while Kratos is being infuriating and braking rules, a little woman I'll call Koko is battling back with much the same tactics. I did more against Kratos but occasionally I had to slap Koko on the wrists as well. None of you see where I'm going with this yet? Anyway, Kratos eventually is forced to stop. Badda bing.
Ok... Now we're at a week after New Years. I'm sitting in my house with Azilie, having a good time, and suddenly she starts... acting withdrawn. Curious, I start probing into it. Finally I get a "You'll hate me..." and I grow worried. Did she do something bad? Did she pull what I had two summers ago? "What do you mean, hate you?"
So Azilie breaks it to me that the club officers have decided that my position is no longer needed and that I'm to step down and join the faceless mass that is the rest of the club. I'm sure you can all assume that I did not take the news well. After a few moments of growling and muttering, I turned back to Azilie and simply told her thus. "Fine, if that is what they want, then so they shall have it. I'll step down from the position and I won't be coming back." This, of course, caused Azilie to storm from my house in tears. She's the President of the Club and all and she was super upset over it all.
Later that night I log on to the internet and decide to go venting. The Sentinel is my normal outlet but she was currently AFK, so I didn't bother. Instead, I turned to another one of my friends, who also happens to be in the club. Arra-chan! I'm figuring I might get a slight sympathetic ear, I kinda needed it so I could figure out what to do with the issue, but suddenly I find myself getting bashed out of nowhere (Arra and I have solved our issue, so if I hear about anyone giving her a hard time, I'll hurt you). She says I'm 'throwing a fit' and that I'm being unfair, and before I can muster myself from my shock over the sudden tongue lashing she signs out, leaving me to go FTW?
So, The Sentinel and I talk for a bit and I feel better. Then Azilie and I talk later. Apparently, there are two officers who brought this about... And guess who is among them? Koko! Am I surprised? Not really. So, what do I do? I begin to avoid the woman so I don't wind up being an asshole. Smart idea. Being an asshole is not a good thing.
Now, coming into this week, Azilie starts getting moody about the entire thing once more. Valentine's Day rolls around and everyone is demanding that I come to the meeting that week for a 'party'. I simply reply "No, I'm not part of the club anymore. I'm not going to go. Drop it." Granted I'm still a little testy about the subject, right? So finally it boils down to Azilie having a complete funk out on me and storming off once more, leaving me confused. Yeah, I know she's hurt that I won't go, but like I said, I quit and I wasn't happy that everyone was cutting into me over it.
Somehow, Azzy and I resolve everything with one another that night. She was working on Valentine's Day and so we decided to have a pre-valentine's day the day before. It was entertaining... though Arra had to wind up coming in as well. The reasons for that are hers to tell alone and I'll only say that I didn't mind, considering the circumstances. It was fun to have her with us. ^_^
Ok. I'm sure your all screaming by now "Get to the damned point, Lyiat!" and I will. Valentine's Day night I get a message from Azzy-chan. "Do you hate Koko?" I think about it for a long moment and answer, honestly, "No, but I must say I'm not fond of her." Suddenly, Azilie is at my throat and we wind up arguing for the ENTIRE BLOODY NIGHT and even into today. She says that I'm blaming everything on Koko (I wasn't, but I was more angry at her then the others because I see her as the ring leader) and that I should be putting the most blame on (Azzy) because she's the President and blah blah blah ...
I keep explaining that I am no longer mad. I just don't want anything to do with the club anymore because, quite frankly, it's a waste of my time just to sit there and listen about anime for an entire hour. I didn't go to the club for that, as it was intended for Japanese Culture... But that is a rant I've had in the past and I won't go over it a fourth time. Anyway, I tell her if she wants to get it all talked out, then for her to just give me a time, a date, and a place. She wound up driving off in a rather pissed off fashion.
Now... My question is... Am I the one acting like a two-year old over this and am I in the wrong for not going back to a lesser position after, what I percived as, getting stabbed in the back by people I really considered good friends without so much as getting a chance to defend myself?
