Burn me, I burn you..... literally

So i am starting to put my foot down. I have had enough of my ex-roommate treating me like dirt. This picture resembles how i feel in a great way. Even he looks like the burning of the photo is hurting him. So it should. 2010 is the year that i don't put up with shit from people and i teach people to treat me better. There is a 3 strike rule in effect that means if you treat me badly 3 times in a particular visit, then i am leaving that persons company. I used it this weekend with my dad because he was in a peculiar mood and then I am using it today with someone that i have had a hard time saying no to. I thought he was my friend but when he started accusing me of stealing i knew right then and there, he didn't think of me as a friend. He thinks and treats me like one of his regular lackies or follow alongs. Sure i did the dance for a while but my foot comes down today. Considering I have risked a lot and gone through a lot, this is the perfect way to make me change my thinking. I am very bitter at this point. I am saddened that he thinks treating me like trash is acceptable. I am saddened that he does not appreciate what i have done and gone through for him. The distress it put on my and my parents relationship. The bad habits that were capitalized on because i wanted to be high all the time. The zillion times that when we were doing things, i paid for him or smoked him for free. He led a charmed life while at my apartment. It kills me when he says he was at the object of his affections cottage and her parents just love him because he helps out (ie. by randomly doing dishes and stuff), meanwhile when he lived here he had to be begged to do chores. It's all a facade though, i realize that now. He plays the good boy card when he can fool people, but when you start to see holes through his act, that's when he turns. He's not the only one that i have experienced this with but he is making me re-think how i pursue certain friendships and relationships.

I must say there was a guy from my past that i helped out and he wanted to meet and have a coffee, but i just don't feel that i can be around that person anymore. He borrowed money from me and never paid it back. Sure he did the poor me song and dance but i decided that this is the year that i think more of myself and not re-kindle certain r-ships that could be potentially harmful. What's with these people always coming out and around when they want something? Shows that they have no pride or class..... at least in my books,
