Here is the mail I got from a friend of Sarah's, the same one that told me to look at taking the bus.

I didn't want to continue this yesterday, but i felt that this message needed to be addressed again.

You have reciently been given a second chance at life, and i think it is time
to really look at yourself and try to share the great opportunites that comes with
it. I feel that you should take a look at your second paragraph from yesterday
that starts out with "Also, i maybe selfish...". I think that if you read it
again you should notice that a)it *IS* selfish b)it doesn't mention nor
indicate to the costs to anyone other than yourself c)maybe you need to
evaluate where your priorities lie. YOu have surrounded yourself with some
wonderful and generous people, and yes it does suck that you had an accident,
but this treatment of people tends to wear on them and everyone has their
limit.

You won't see this on someone's online journal, i am discussing this with you
directly. You can take what you want, but if there is a chance that my letter
to you could help my friends relationship with their friend, i took that
chance. We all only have today, but we should live to make our tomorrows the
best they can be.

Here is the response I sent, CCed to Sarah since its only logical that she complained

*sigh* I'll respond with a statement from someone that is not myself

"Hell yeah that's what they meant whenn they said take the bus. Even if
they were annoyed all that shows is that their annoyance weakened their
manners.

Anyways, who the hell cares if you go 10-15 minutes out of your way?
That's what friends do. I used to go 10 minutes out of the way to pick
up by buddy Eddie, why? Because the 10 mins. extra would bring me his
company and that's why he's my friend. I feel your pain, man."

I also don't like knowing that people are talking behind my back. If
someone has a problem with me, I wish that they would come out and say
it rather than have people I barely even know order me to take the
bus. This has nothing to do with my fucking accident. If sarah is
complaining about me, I would prefer she do it to me and not sic other
people on me. Especially people I barely even fucking know. I was
mad, I have a right to be angry and if other people have problems
expressing their anger, that is not my fucking problem

Being told to take the bus, to me, is an indication that someone doesn't want to spend time with me. If someone has a function that is not within walking distance of most people, I assume that others are driving there and ask those people. I guess I made the mistake of soliciting a ride from anyone that could possibly take me there. I don't know how much back-story is needed for this, but I don't go asking to be carted around everywhere, in fact, if I could go grocery shopping alone, I would prefer it. But grocery shopping is the one thing that requires a car because I end up getting too much stuff to take on the bus. Personally, I think that Robin should screw herself.

Furthermore, this girl is making this whole thing bigger than it needs to be, and not being very polite about it. I was "given a second chance at life" so that I wouldn't get rides from people? What the fuck is she talking about? Fact is, the only result of the accident that causes me to need rides is the lack of a car, and I wasn't even going to have a car after December ANYWAY, my parents were taking it back. SHE is the one bringing my accident into the situation, and why? I am not the one blaming my accident for ANYTHING. In fact, I never attribute anything I do to the brain injury unless I am being facetious. I don't like things to be blamed on the brain injury or the accident.

Honestly, if I can't get a ride from a friend, then they aren't really my friend and they shouldn't even invite me places.
