Thoughts:

You had a conversation about an imaginary thing that wouldn't happen.

You get a text from a classmate talking to you about said rave and that he'll tell everyone about it. Dick move, sure.

He reveals his motivation. Oh, okay.

    This leads to an argument

STOP.

Why, galen? Why do you do this to yourself? I don't get this shit. I guess maybe it's a highschool thing that I missed out on? You are only able to control your own actions, and you didn't have to engage, but you did. When you engage, you give that person a power that they don't need or deserve to have. Do you know this guy very well? Is he even in your C-tier list of friends? If the answer to either of those questions is "no", then you done fucked up by giving him the time of day.

Like obviously this dude's an asshole, but still.

I'm going to compile a series, "8bit mentors galen", there's been a fair bit of great advice dished out.

I'm in a huge hurry, but my favorite was something like "fuck galen don't even talk to them give me something hard damn".

I makes me unreasonably happy that galen is like our collective child. Don't make the same mistakes we did galen.

On top of that, it's very hard to have a decent conversation not lead to anger / bitterness / frustration when there's a lot of emotion and feelings involved.
