certainly didn't mean to be pretentious.

if it was me you were referring to, that is...

I'm sorry that I'm useless and at loose ends right now, there's a lot to this whole living on your own thing and getting it all together that I'd forgotten about.

Every time I go to do something, there's something else I don't have on hand and need to get.

I know it all sounds like lame excuses. And I suppose they all are.

At this point, I agree, I don't deserve another chance.
