My friends have asked to reschedule [our usual] Wednesday night [outing] to Monday. That kosher with you?

NO. Monday is my night.

[Fuck off, Dick!] SOR-RY!

Technically, Monday and Tuesday are "your" nights. [You went out on Monday and Thursday, and you'll be out tonight and tomorrow and Sunday. But I got a guilt trip passed my way for going out on Wednesday for 3 hours while you and Twig were sleeping. Wonder how you'll behave when I get ready to leave to go buy a bra tomorrow?] I'm having a hard time keeping up with whosey-whatsy-whensy's schedule so that's why I'm asking before making solid plans [Why is it that you think I can remember everything all of the time and shouldn't ever need to re-clarify? Actually, that's not even it. It's that you're a bitch if I don't remember something or if you have to remind me when we're talking about the day's/week's events and how to organize it all. I'm just trying to talk to you about scheduling and it seems like you're angry at me when I do (this is not an isolated incident). I've only got so many brain cells and I'm juggling a lot too. DON'T BARK, I DON'T LIKE IT.]....

Would it be possible for you to reschedule Monday this coming week say for Thursday? [For fuck's sake, cut me some slack. I don't ask for that much time away and we need to be flexible with one another. Oh, and I hate that when this happens I feel like I'm asking a reluctant parent for permission to do something that's contrary to our family values or something. If it's that you want more time with me - say it, plan for it and make it so.]

[And one more thing. If you're teasing in the least, you need to do a much better job of conveying that.]

UPDATE:
I overreacted. That's one of the problems with email. You sometimes can't get the sarcasm or tone of someone's words in print. Especially the longer you've known and lived with the person. And when you both are on edge every time the other has something to say.
