Musings of a sleepy person
Just a little musing to myself... about the state of friendships in my life. Course this could have been from the rant earlier about Ian and Caroline, lol.
Here an example of how fickle they can be...in my case anyway. I was friends with a girl called Laoiseach for years - and when I moved to Crumlin we started writing to each other. Naturally things began to dry up with the passage of time, so I rang her and organised a night out for the two of us. After that there was the promise to write/phone/make some sort of cummunication. But nothing. I wrote to her and never got a reply. I don't have her number or her house address cuz she moved out and got her own place so everything was c/o her mums house. Then her dad died. I didn't want to go to the wake but my mum made me. My mum asked me when was the last time I'd heard from Laoiseach and I replied that I hadn't, but I'd sent her a letter the previous Friday (before her dad died) So at the wake she said she's be in touch. I'm still waiting. I've written to her several times since the wake and I'm STILL waiting. Is it that hard to make a bit of time to write to someone you've known since nursery school? Someone who was once your 'best friend'? I think so. I've resigned myself to the fact that she doesn't want to be bothered replying or getting in touch with me.
And then there's Ruth - my other 'best friend' from school who argued and stopped talking to me because I was going on holiday with Ian and Caroline and not her. What more did she want from me?!? We could discuss going away, I'd go price it, be ready to book and she'd change her mind. So when the offer of actually going away with friends arose I went. I wasn't going to wait around for her booking a holiday that would never happen. She stopped talking to me last March, and in September I sent a mass text informing everyone of my new mobile number. Since then she's been in touch now and again, sent me a Christmas/birthday present, and I've met up with her a few times. I thought that time would have changed her but she's still the same person. She texted me the other day about going to Prague or somewhere, but there's no sign of prices or anything from her. I'm not going back to doing all the running around. I don't want to see her again - that part of my life is over, and I'd like to think I was a better person now than I was when I was friends with her.
I've rambled long enough for tonight...bedtime.
