my "friends"
friend #1: made plans for friday, i offered to help her move shit, lift shit, whatever on thursday, said i'd call thursday at 5 when i got off work. called thursday at 5, no answer. called thursday at 7, no answer, left a message. called thursday night, no answer. called friday, no answer. finally get a call back friday morning around 11, and she backs out of plans for that night. if you're going to cancel (not for the first time) cancel earlier. i ended up going alone (eating the $10 ticket) because of the last-minuteness
friend #2: close to a month ago, i snapped at her for a sec when i was in a shitty mood, immediately apologized, and she's been completely ignoring me ever since. ignoring e-mails, ignoring voicemails, for a FUCKING MONTH. i've apologized on numerous ocassions, and told her that it's making me sad that she's not speaking to me. evidently, she doesn't give a shit, and continues to turn the knife, thanks. nothing much more i can do about this one.
friend #3: moving to a different state, presumably for good. i offered to have dinner w/her on friday, she seemd up for it. plans were flying around (because of friend #1) so i called friday morning, as soon as i knew i would be free for dinner that night. no answer at various intervals throughout the day. i call again at 6 (about 30 minutes before i'm in moline, where she lives for another 2 days) no answer, leave a message. call again at 10:30, no answer, leave a message. great, don't get to see her before she goes.
the suck part of it is, i had asked another friend (who isn't being a dick) if she wanted to go to the football game, but when friend #1 heard about it, she was all excited and wanted to go (or so I thought) so before my non-dick friend got back, i told her the seat was taken, which was a really mean and assholeish thing to do.
new resolution: not let people walk on me like this. if you're a treating me like trash, don't expect any effort on my end to mend it. i'm sick of being a doormat.
