I was very offended last night... I'm not going to use any names, and not even make reference to where I was, but I was somewhere where there were people gathering- some I knew some I didn't. I was talking to one of my friends about a play I had seen at DramaFest. During the play the actors had accidently spilled the bowl of popcorn on stage (it wasn't supposed to happen), and had perform the rest of the play stepping on popcorn... So in telling this story I got quite animated and probably a little loud. I was happy and hyper- so what. Then someone else in the room took aside my friend for a moment and then took me out into the hall. They said to me "are you on something, because you're flying higher than a kite". I said, "no... I'm just happy.... I spend the day up in Fredericton at DramaFest..." I was really pretty confused at this comfrontation. Then I went back and continued tell my friend the story in a calmed down attitude. Then the person came over where we were standing and said to basically stop talking about it and not to dis another person's play in a situation where other people were around. I didn't really see how describing this popcorn accident was dissing it... but oh well. Then I just went to defend myself and the person just said "Hayley, stop" in a rather annoying teacher like condescending tone- saying that this was neither the time nor the place. I really didn't understand this.... I thought it was a perfectly acceptable time and place. Then when the person left, my friend told me that the person had asked him if I was drunk. Well, this made tears well up in my eyes, and I grabbed my bag and left. I was deeply offended and hurt by this person. I've realized what triggers me to feel really upset- when people make me feel stupid for being me. I felt like there was nothing wrong with my conduct, except that maybe I was too loud at first. I was HAPPY- so fucking well shoot me!! That's an emotion I have been lacking a bit of over the past couple months!
Oh well, I guess the person got their revenge- I've been miserable and upset on the inside since last night- thank you very much because I just love feeling that life fucking well sucks.
I realize I shouldn't let this bother me, but it's just that this person was someone who I grately respected and a good friend of mine. And what this person said just really affected me.
