Let's Put An End to the Flakey People!

There is this boy I know. I have been friends with him since highschool, and we have since lost touch. Sporadically. But like, every few months, he resurfaces and is like "Hey, Amanda! Wow! It's been a long time! Hey, let's hang out again and have a fine time!" And I'm like, "Okay, sure." And then he drops completely off of the planet.

Completely.

I try to message him, email him, etc. No response. So I'm like "Okay." And that's that. Until a few months have passed, then he resurfaces again and the same things happens repeatedly.

BUT NOT THIS TIME.

I have decided this time that I am going to aggressively pester him until something happens. Either he will explain to me why he is such an utter flake, or what sort of jollies he derives from voluntarily contacting a person and making plans he has no intention of carrying through. WHAT IS UP WITH THIS?

I aim to find out. Right now, he isn't responding to me. This is our last transaction, which took place several minutes ago:

octocakes (12:53:30 PM): hey doug - OMGJeremy is visiting today.
octocakes (12:54:04 PM): give me your address and we'll come over
octocakes (12:54:42 PM): if not, we will find you somehow!
octocakes (12:54:48 PM): and SHOVE you!
octocakes (12:55:31 PM): with FORKS!
[I omitted his sn.. FOR NOW] signed off at 12:56:00 PM.

It is a shame he signed off, because I was about to add: "IN YOUR FACE!" - which would have added hilarity for me.

It's just annoying though. Surely I have taken enough of this crap to justify my confronting him about it now. After like six years of this irritating cycle.

I think if I ever run into him on the street, I shall poke him in the eyes. In fact, if any of you in the Cincinnati Area know of Doug, I believe he is in a band called Banderas at the moment - poke him in the eyes for me, and tell him to get ahold of Amanda Wood and stop being such a bastard.
