Assault Via Text Message

I went out on Friday for a lovely dinner with my two cousins and my aunt, after studying late the night before and going to school and work. As I drove home in the pouring rain I thought to myself "What an exhausting period of my life!" When I got home I took a bath and snuggled into my pjs and began to write in my journal, relishing in the alone quiet time and the rare opportunity for rest. At 11:30 pm, I receive the following text messages:

Michael: "What are you up to?"
Teaser: "Resting after a long day, and u?"
Michael: "Are you up for a movie?"
Teaser: "There are no movies playing at this time"
Michael: "Yes there are, at my house silly"
Teaser: " Actually I am exhausted, can we plan for tomorrow?"
Michael: "This is my only down time!" Maybe next Week!

Now if I am not mistaken, that is an exclamation point after that text.That is the equivalent of text message assault. Just because I am your Friday night Plan B, (because plan A made at 8:00 must have obviously fallen through) and I don't want to drive across town at midnight after being notified at 11:30, to sit on your couch for our second date , does not give you the right to use exclamation points with me. Second, anybody who wants to use having a busy life as an excuse can kiss my ass, because I know busy like the back of my hand and I am telling you that I don't feel like hearing that from some privileged, full time Business student who has classes only on Thursday and Friday, lives downtown and plans random trips to Sweden and South Africa . After all, I am not only a full time law student facing finals far more grueling than those in B-school, and maintaining a JOB at a law firm to keep food on the table. So I essentially have no down time, but I could've made some were I dealing with someone who asked me to the right way.

But my real problem was the sheer assumption that because he gave me a shot, I was supposed to jump at it. I have never been pressed enough to run across town on call, and I'm not about to start now. He obviously does not respect my time enough to call me at a reasonable hour and ask me on a reasonable date, or respect my fatigue enough to let me rest and study tonight while we plan to meet tomorrow. I have everything going on, if not more than most men do and your couple hours of down time are not god's gift. Next week, do better!
