A few days ago a human-avian hybrid named Echo posted a personality quizzes results on her blog. Little did she know that it was going to create yet another tiff between boyfriend Sonar and friend Radar (also human avian experiments)

"I really had no clue that posting MY personality results would turn into something totally irrelevant to the post." Echo stated.

According to Echo and close [human] friends, these tiffs have been going on for quite sometime, causing tensions between more than just the two human-avian hybrids.

"When something bothers Echo, it bothers the rest of us. It hasn't been this bad in two years. I don't know Radar well, but Echo is like a sister to me. If I had to, I would kill to protect her. And I know she would do the same for me. This is seriously getting old, and Echo (as well as Sonar and everyone else) is gettig tired of it." HumanAvian Experiment Butterfly stated.

However, Radar says. "you don't even understand the situation...I'm pissed because Sonar has pretty much stolen ALL of Echo's time, so that I, her BFFF, have barely ANY time to talk to her. Ask anyone who knows Sonar personally and they will agree that HE'S the possessive/obsessive one! You should hear some of his messages to Echo when she and I went on vacation...stalker sounding..."

Echo shakes her head at this. AHF has also stated this, but refused to leave a comment. According to friends, AHF seem to have better control over their arguments.

"It's more humane. Less violent. Perhaps because she is human as opposed to Radar's hybrid temper." Butterfly said.

"It's not like that. Really. Some of the things that are being tossed around here are being blown out of proportion. [Radar] always blames Sonar for everything. And it's more than just her. Some of my friends are more 'emotionally open' than others. Obviously, I am going to defend him. I mean, not that I need to, but I will. There is a reason why in the past I never told anyone who I was going out with. It always ends up like this.I kind of hoped this time owuld be different. Especially after these were the people who kept telling me to go out with him in the first place (of course I probably would have despite their opinion)."

Echo is refering to a relastionship she had two years ago. Even though the two were best friends no one knew until six months after they had been going out.

"When everyone found out about that relationship, it all blew up in our face. It started to become like this...then crappy things started happening, but I don't like to talk about it."

"It's kind of annoying the way they act like children. Some more than others. Echo tries to keep the peace between them, but they are definitely weighing her down. In my personal opinion, it sounds to me like Sonar is only fighting back because of the unnecessary comments/posts from Radar, but I certainly don't think that it was all intentional. Kind of an automatic response to stupid things." Said Echo's human tiger hybrid friend, Ember.

Ember was right, however. The constant battles between two people that she cares about most has got Echo bending over backwards to keep things semi-normal.

"Because of jealousy issues, I have created a calendar and time log. I have a bad memory, so I found a way to know who I should make plans with each weekend so everyone stops feeling left out. I try to make it one on one, too. However, I'm getting to the point where I really won't see anyone right now. Emotions are still high. I am waiting for a little bit of down time in this string of drama. If I do hang out with someone, I'll make sure to call a close human friend. One who isn't all wrapped up in this."

Echo also thinks that it is highly embarrassing for her readers to have to be sucked into her personal life.

"I think it is unnecessary for anyone to inform the world about my life when it isn't their place to talk about something. These blogs were made for entertainment. We just wanted to communicate to each other and our readers. I never meant for this to turn into what it is. I can't count the times I have considered deleting it. I was so close, right before Thanksgiving. Silly me, though, I feel I have put too much into my blog to let something so stupid ruin it."

At the present, Echo is trying to figure out humane ways to stop this rubbish for good.

"I just don't know how to handle it anymore. I've asked around, I 've even gone to a counselor. I never asked for this to happen. It just did. I don't know...I just want to be happy. It feels like it's been forever. Don't get me wrong, it's no one persons fault more than it is mine.I don't want this to EVER present itself AGAIN. Even keeping the two separate doesn't seem to work. I am out of options.

I've gotten to the point where I believe that if you have something to say, E-MAIL it to me, CALL me, or KEEP IT TO YOURSELF if there is nothing I can do about it, as opposed to blogging about it or making a scene in the hall.

I wish I could make this clear. I believe that Sonar and Storm get it, but AHF, LHF, KHF and Radar don't seem to understand. (AFH and Radar are getting to extremes.) What people don't get is that I hate disappointing others...I like making everyone happy, and when I don't have enough time/will power to do something to help a friend, it makes me depressed and stressed out. I am slowly getting over this, but it will hit me in waves.

I also would like to make it clear that I hang out with Sonar about the same amount I hang out with others. Most of my weekend time is devoted to me or my family (the coven)." Echo gestures to her group of 'family' as she says this.

One thing can be sure. Echo will most certainly have to be careful on what she writes, whether it be something as innocent as HER personality test results or something a little more thought provoking like this article.

"It's sad. I just wish everyone could be happy or be able to fake it at least for a few minutes. But, like I said, I'm running out of options."
