laying down the law

2 weeks ago, i had a chat with a friend of mine. he was seriously doing my head in with his attitude. well, no, attitude is not the right word. let's just say that he likes to charm everyone. it's just that sometimes, especially if there's an audience, it takes on huge proportions. for people who don't know him, it's ok, i guess; they either really like him or really don't. but for me, it's just annoying, cos i know it's all fake, but i also know how nice he really is. so 2 weeks ago, i sat him down and basically told him to stop his 'act' around me.

i hadn't seen him since, so i had no idea what to expect. he'd seemed to get the message, but you never know... so it was really nice to see that he'd understood what i'd said when i saw him last night. he was nice and pleasant and, more importantly, real. and it was funny cos at one point, he thought he'd messed up and he started to panic, but i reassured him that my reaction had nothing to do with what he'd said. i think S. also appreciated the change, cos i'm sure i'm not the only one who was annoyed.
