What's my age again?

Absolutely no offense meant to my true friends from middle school who've always been there for me no matter what time or distance separates us--but how do people in their 20s, 30s, and beyond still manage to act like rotten 13-year-olds? Seriously. I'm sick of people talking about people behind their backs and then being best friends to that same person's face. I'm sick of people doing or saying things that they know others don't agree with purely to get a rise. I'm sick of people blowing things out of proportion either to make themselves look cool (?) or to foster some kind of bond with someone they're sharing the moment with. I'm sick of people who don't have the ability to keep their traps shut. I'm sick of people playing the victim.

To some degree, I'm sure we're all guilty of at least some of these things occasionally. I know I am. But criminey! Why is it happening so much lately? I had my fill of pettiness 16 or 17 years ago. I really thought we'd have all grown out of this behavior by now. Maybe my expectations of my friends are set too high. Who knows.

I need a vacation. Good thing exactly that will happen after one more day of work tomorrow!
