- "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me, fuck you, I won't do what you
- tell me, fuck you, I won't do what you tell me, fuck you, I won't do
- what you tell me, fuck you, I won't do what you tell me, fuck you, I
- won't do what you tell me, fuck you, I won't do what you tell me,
- fuck you, I won't do what you tell me, fuck you, I won't do what you
- tell me, fuck you, I won't do what you tell me, fuck you, I won't do
- what you tell me, fuck you, I won't do what you tell me, fuck you, I
- won't do what you tell me, fuck you, I won't do what you tell me,
- fuck you, I won't do what you tell me, fuck you, I won't do what you
- tell me. Motherfucker."

- People. No, women, men, the other sex. Whatever. With large egos.
- Some have had their call with them. Some will meet them. Anyway,
- you need to keep your shit-ass hat on when you're dealing with
- them. Fuck. You know, that girl. (Hey, substitute 'girl' for boy
- if you're one. This goes for everyone). You know you need something
- from her. It may be just friendship, it may be more than that,
- but believe me, it is a lost cause from the start. Well, you don't
- believe that from the start, of course. Or _they_ have failed. They
- need to throw that web of innocence, non-egotistical, friendly and
- oh-ever-so-kind front up your ass to get you to become interested
- in the first place. When they notice that you indeed did swallow
- the bait, they will continue to be sweet, innocent, even caring
- (if they are able to be that) sometimes. For a while. JUST DON'T
- BE FOOLED! Please. P L E A S E, if you're sincere, if your feelings
- are genuine, keep the distance, you had before, from the start.
- (Of course this only applies when you've noticed that she _is_ in
- fact just a large ego walking the streets.)
-
- How? Just don't meet her, call her, talk to her for two days, and
- meet other people during those two days, and *think* about if you
- really want her to be yours/your friend/whatever. Can you stand
- hearing her talking about herself day in and day out, when you're
- with her, when you sleep, when... If she gets pregnant, do you want
- to be the father, and hers for the rest of your life? Do you care
- about her enough to make that commitment? Of course. When you _think_
- you like, even love, someone, you can make those commitments, and
- fool yourself to death. What you need is "A Bullet In Your Head"
- - courtesy of rage against the machine yet again. Seriously, watch
- your ordinary day and see if she fits in. Can you give her something
- she doesn't already have by becoming her boyfriend/friend/aaaaaagh?
-
- Sex? Sure.
- Listen, she's getting all the sex she wants from others, so that is
- at the very lowest step of the ladder. No, cross that one out. THINK!
- How does your everyday look? Would it change if you became her
- whatever? Why? Ask yourself these questions. More than once. Get
- drunk. Get stoned. Get your ass out the door and ask yourself.
- Now if you think I wanted you to say "Yes, it would change" to get
- out of this stupid situation you're _wrong_. If it would change
- then she's got the hook in you. Yes yes, you're hooked. There's
- only one thing you can do if you're hooked and really want to be
- hooked on this person. Let it go. Unless you're able to share her
- with about 20 ex-boyfriends and 200% of her talking about herself,
- you're lost. She will dump you like the fool you are in a couple of
- weeks. It's just a matter of time before she loses interest in you.
- It's just a game to her. She proves that she can get _anyone_ by
- not doing anything. You just proved her point.
-
- Now, I hear you say - "well, what if she's not _really_ like that?"
- "she's an ego, okay, but she's kind to me." _Big_, no - _Huge smile_.
- Yeah, so I also thought that once, or twice. (Some people don't
- understand the first time - like myself.) Believe me, she is like that.
- She'll be kind to you as long as you only show an interest. But as
- soon as you open up to her (ie. whatever you say, "I want you.." etc.),
- she wins. Then she can use everything you said to your disadvantage,
- she's got you where she wants you to be. And she won't listen to reason.
- Now you can't tell her "Hey, why are you talking about yourself all the
- time? You're such an ego." because you don't want to lose her and make
- her _use_ the stuff you said. But listen. Why do you want to keep her?
- Keep her, by the way? Do you _have_ her? No. She's got _you_. You'll
- never ever _have_ her. No-one will. That's the deal. To spare yourself
- from nerves on the edge, to save you from getting really _hurt_, to
- keep your dignity (if you have any that is), keep the fucking distance.
-
- Of course, there are things you can do if you want to keep her as a
- friend. Maybe you want that huh? There might be ways to change her
- ego into something not-so-egotistical, right? (yeah.. right. santa
- is real too huh?) Seriously, of course you _may_ be able to change
- her ways. If so, you're lucky, but you're also in for some heavy duty
- work. They way I do it (can't speak for anyone else) - I keep the
- distance.
-
- I remark lightly when she talks about herself, give her small hints
- like changing the subject every time she starts on her ego-trips. Any
- subject is good enough. Even the weather. And I don't call her. No no.
- That's probably the most effective thing to do. She expects you to call
- her. _You're_ the one that's interested in _her_, right? So you're
- the one who should call her. So, just don't do it. Easy enough. She'll
- wonder after a couple of days (usually two days is enough for her ego
- to start wondering what she did wrong this time) - then she'll call
- you. "I WON!" you think. W R O N G. You're on your way to success
- though. But it is a small step. Tiny tiny step. You're playing with
- her ego, remember that. You can still end up on either side of the
- border. Friend. Enemy. She's still in control, but she allowed herself
- to show you something by calling you of which you now have control over.
-
- She'll never ask you why you didn't call her. That would _really_ be
- fatal to her ego. That would show she waited for you to call. (You're
- still the one who's interested in her, and that's the way she wants
- it to be.) On the other hand, if she asks you, then her ego isn't that
- large, and you can play it your way from here on. You're lucky.
- Well, suppose she didn't ask. What do you do then? Real easy. Keep
- doing it! Don't call her. Make her call you a couple of times (two
- or three times is enough, the more the better though.) When you
- notice (and you'll notice) she loses interest (and she will), do
- something about it. Let her "win". One time. Yes, call her once (or
- meet her, or something, whatever). But only once! Then go back and
- play it safe. Just don't repeat this again, because then she'll
- think she figured you out. Do something different, just don't let
- her "win". Not yet. Don't call her. She'll call you. Go out with
- someone, do stuff with other people, live your normal social life,
- but without her, for a while, and tell her about it (if you're home
- when she calls -hint hint-) Play it out for a while, and _don't_
- let her win when you notice she's starting to lose interest. Not
- this time.
-
- We're well on our way to success now, and you don't want to fail,
- do you? No, of course not. By this time, she's not sure of you
- at all, and her ego has received a blow, small, but still a blow.
- If she still calls you, she probably want to keep you as a
- friend. So be her friend. Just _never ever_ let her win more
- than once in a while if he continues to show you her large ego.
- What I mean is, keep the distance. Even though you're friends,
- don't let her think she's got control over you - then you have
- to work twice as hard the next time (and probably lose her too).
-
- This is only a game we play. People do this shit all over the
- world. It's going on right now. And it _is_ only a game. She
- probably doesn't want to be your friend after all of this, but
- who cares, right? It's just life. There's a lot more to it than
- wasting time on egos. What it all comes down to, though, is;
-
- Friends shouldn't take advantage over each other, right? Good
- friends share. Good friends can talk about everything. Good friends
- have fun. You should be able to criticize a friend without a risk
- of losing him/her. When you think you're able to do that with
- someone, you're friends. Good friends are hard to find.
-
- sometimes... it's wiser to settle for nothing
-
- remember that.
-
- Play your game well, and you'll win.
