Update: Dreading today’s trip

So the trip is done and i have to say it wasn’t half as bad as I had expected it to be. But before I get to the why of that, I must elaborate a little on ‘there’s more to why I’m dreading the trip‘. Apart from all of the stuff I mentioned, there was another element to be considered - LM.

The thing with B is, he doesn’t need a reason to hate someone, quite the contrary in fact. He needs a reason to NOT hate someone. So, what you and me would have considered a small argument, he considered a declaration of war on LM’s part. And that too it was a long long time ago.

But anywho, he didn’t want LM to come along with us and in his exact words, I believe he said “It’s either him or me”. Now I understand that B is just some stupid 19-yr old kid who needs some time to mature and has his own issues in life. But I can’t see why the rest of us have to be put in a tough spot just because of his eccentricities.

Luckily E managed to convince B that it wasn’t his place to decide to not let LM come along with us. So that part of me dreading the trip thankfully sorted itself out.

Ok so as we were driving down to meet up with B, E & LM, both K and me were sort of dreading the moment we’d see them (and those that followed). And as K put it, ‘it shouldn’t be so hard to meet your friends’. But anyways, things went well once we met up and even till the trip to the outlet mall. And once there, as I expected E and his mom were caught up in getting some perfumes for her, LM wasn’t too sure of what to do so he excused himself for a bit. Even K wasn’t in a mood to listen to all of B’s bitching and we managed to make our way out of their company.

So the day wasn’t really a total disaster - I also managed to get a few things. Though we couldn’t really find much for K, so we’ll be going over again later on once the new stock’s in. Overall, the day wasn’t bad at all and B’s bitching was in mild moderation too and so was bearable!
