Flight Sussex to Andover to Blairstown in Cessna 172 With Kili My Senegal Parrot

I was taking my Senegal Parrot Kili and girlfriend on a flight originally planned from Sussex (FWN) to Wilkes Barre (WBW) for lunch but do to low ceilings and high terrain in that direction decided to recalculate the flight to go to Sky Manor (N40) instead. Shortly into the flight I was realizing that ceilings and visibility were still very low so I landed at Andover Aeroflex (12N) which was along my route for practice landing into a small airport. This is where I originally learned to fly airplanes so making the short field landing with room to spare was a piece of cake. I took off and headed for Blairstown (1N7).

In the traffic pattern for Blairstown, just about ready to turn base, I heard another plane on the radio announcing base at Blairstown. This was kind of odd to be because I was at the normal point for turning base. I continued by downwind leg and started looking left to find the guy but couldn't see him. I started looking back over my shoulder and spotted him on a very tight base leg into the airport. HE CUT ME OFF in the pattern! And he was probably doing it on purpose doing it so tight in. I announced that I see him and will extend my downwind leg a little. I continued downwind some more and turned base. As I was turning final I could still see him on the runway and was getting nervous about him exiting on time and emphasized that I was on final. He was still rolling to the end of the runway. He missed all the midfield runway exits and in effect used up all 3,000 feet of the Blairstown runway. He finally exited and meanwhile I executed a classic Blairstown short field landing on the numbers and taxied off the runway midfield, direct for the restaurant. So while he cut me off, he landed so far down that I ended up being closer to the Runway Cafe. Well he gunned the throttle while we both taxied back and cut me off for the ramp parking spot and I had to hold again and let him by because I did not want to let Airplane Rage be the cause of an accident for me. I am safe.
