The Anti-Gann Entry
Not too sure why he gets an entry... oh well.
He is not my friend anymore. Nope.
I used to call him "my best friend" but no more! He shirks responsibility and seems to do everything he can to remain a loser. He has no plans to move out of his parents' house thus far and, in fact, he refuses to think about the future at all. When questioned if he would want to get a place with me, he became vague with, "I haven't really thought about that, yet." and changed the subject. He's twenty-one years old and has no real motivation to stay in college (quit twice) or get a job. He's been presented with many jobs (at least eight dollars per hour) that may be dead-end jobs, but it's MONEY and nothing is ever stopping him from quitting. Dead-end jobs are good for having a salary and accumulating work experience; something to put on your application under "Past Employment".
So all he does is play Final Fantasy Eleven. All. He does. Doesn't talk to me, doesn't talk to Danielle, doesn't even talk to his girlfriend, Megan, unless they're out together. Even then, it's debatable for actual conversations since i'm not there. They sure don't talk when i'm around. He also likes to portray himself as the victim whenever I (or anyone else, for that matter. Just the other day a good friend, Blu, was thrown out of his residence and Gann was called as a last ditch effort to see if he knew anyone or could take him somewhere. The response was, according to Danielle, "I'm at the Family Fun Center right now, but I can't take him anywhere.") ask things of him. I've given up trying to talk to him on the phone since it's always Blah Blah Blah about Final Fantasy Eleven and it's ALWAYS THE SAME STORIES. No one cares about the game, anymore! Especially not the same trite stories over and over. And when I do call him it's a 1/15 chance he'll actually pick up. And if I really need to talk to him or ask something (advice or a ride or whatever) and he didn't answer the first time it's always, "What'd I tell you about calling so much?" in a snappy tone. He says that if he doesn't answer the phone the first time, it's because he doesn't want to talk. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS: How the fuck does someone discern what reason you didn't answer your cellular phone for?
A) You weren't near it/didn't get to it in time.
B) Didn't hear/feel the ring tone/vibration.
C) You don't want to talk.
Right? Right. If you don't want to talk, PICK UP THE PHONE AND SAY YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK. Don't get snippity with me for no reason.
Continuing: So I've given up chatting with him and now only call him on the phone if I want a ride somewhere. This only occurs on Friday or Saturday: Days I know he's going out with Megan so I cause the least amount of inconvenience. He gets mad at me as if I'm asking him to carry me piggy-back instead of with a car.
And that's the big reason why i've come to the decision that he's no longer my friend: I went back to Gallatin for the weekend and he didn't want to hang out with me at all. Didn't even show any signs of eagerness to see me. Anthony, whom I was staying with, wanted to go home, but I wanted to hang out with Danielle, Blu, Ricky, and others for a little while longer. I called Jonathan Gann to see if I could hitch a ride with him back to Gallatin (The mall is in Goodletsville) and (didn't outright say this part. Figured it'd be inherent) hang out and chat on the way back. Maybe even chill at his house for a while and see what witty, new, flash animations he found or whatever the crap. No. He breathes out all harried-like and thinks for a moment and then says that he'll do it. Upon which he adds, "Never do this again. I hate being forced into being your only ride home." Whoa whoa whoa. When did I force you to do this? I asked politely if I -COULD- hitch a ride back with you. It shouldn't be that obtrusive since i'm ON THE WAY. Secondly, I never said you were my only ride. I could have easily gone with someone else or, heck, went home right then with Anthony. Which is what I did. But I CHOSE you because I wanted to hang out with you! You should, too, if there is any truth to what you've said a few times, "You're like a little brother to me". If I am anything like that to him, then Gann should care a little bit more about me, my feelings and intentions, and everyone else's associated with me that how much he does, now.
So. I disown Jonathan Gann as my friend. Big deal, though. We'll have about the same relationship as we have had until now, won't we?
Asshole.
