pissed off

Today was the first time I actually scolded someone. the first time I scolded someone and became pissed off, for the first time in almost a year.
Strangely, the person who drove me up the wall unsurprisingly was the same person who pissed me off today.
She's close to me, but not that close, and she's from the set of 202 from the universal set of RGS [sorry trying to apply set theory here].
And i've really had enough of this.
I shall be frank. To the person [mich, celene, valsoh and grace, you know who im talking about].
Dear friend of mine,
あなたのナンセンスを停止しなさい. Maybe you're so blissfully unaware that i althought I am easy-going, I am NOT the sort who can take self-centeredness lying down.
I admit, everyone DOES have a selfish quality like you said. I admit, you're the better writer between the two of us. I admit, the stuff you write is REALLY fantastic and wonderful and you're oh-so-on-the-way to becoming a fantasy novel writer. or an astronaut. hah.
But I have never been able to understand why you choose to be more anti-social. I have never been able to understand why you love individualism and doing things YOUR OWN SPECIAL WAY so much.
Group work. We define this two little words VERY differently. To you, group work is a task where by each group member DEPENDS on one another, and you say that this is bad because people should learn to be more independant. But I know your ulterior motive. You don't like group work because you can't do things in your OWN WAY. I knew from the start that you were different, far more than anyone I have ever known, but this is too much. Should I recount the wonderful story to you again?
Miss Chen asked us to write a short scenario IN OUR GROUPS. You, being the best writer and having such a passion for writing, decided to do the writing. After much bickering, I got to do the writing. Don't forget- others may share your passions and your dreams. And I too, want to take up writing as a profession [and DONT you forget that!]. You know it. I've told you about it more than a thousand times.
You commented that you disliked group work because all the group did was slack and depend on each other, without really a mind of their own. I disagreed. After much bickering again, we started on our group work. Mich is right. Valsoh DID give many feasible suggestions which all of us AGREED on, but you rejected them one by one, dismissing them as "not good".
You say we have to judge. You say that in group work there is always unfairness and blah blah blah. Hello, who says life is always fair? and even so, you should try to be more receptive to others' opinions. You should've considered some of valsoh's suggestions, they were really unusual after all!
Let me tell you again, and for the last time.
Teamwork isn't about who has the most brains and creativity. It's not about unfairness, nor is it about judging your group members' ideas. AND DEFINTELY NOT HAVING THINGS YOUR WAY. It fosters teamwork and helps to build the group members' friendship! If only one day, just one day, you could set aside your differences and try to co-operate, I think the world would definitely be a better place. and then i'd know that pigs really do fly. Pleeease... I really don't want to spoil our friendship like this, and I don't want the SAME thing that happened during MEP last year.
Sólo pare su egoísmo.
por favor.
i hope you'll change one day.
