the Universe conspires...
you ever have one of those days that you just KNOW the Universe has conspired to bring you some sweet, sweet justice and the best laugh you've had in a very long time?? i'm having that day.
whilst trolling myspace for folks i went to high school with today (small class, tiny town, easy to do during a lunch break), i came across the profile for my former best friend and one-time roommate whom i have [not so] affectionately referred to as PsychoBitch, or some permutation thereof, since she went bonkers on Kerry and I while we all shared a house in Seattle and slept with my boyfriend (a.k.a. Asshole) many MANY moons ago.
Some years and a fair bit of therapy later, I've forgiven me for allowing myself to stay trapped in the singular worst relationship experience of my life and allowing him to control and manipulate me and decimate what little self-esteem I had. Him, for being too screwed up to realize or admit that he needed help. And Her, for flushing a life-long friendship down the toilet (along with the used condom) by breaking Girlfriend Rule #1. Upon reflection immediately after the break-up, I'm pretty sure he was cheating on me with her throughout our relationship. There were little clues that, when put together, made me smack my forehead in that "how could I be so blind?" kind of way. But I've forgiven myself for that, too.
Over the years and post-break-up beers, Kerry and I decided it would be oh-so-sweet if they ended up together. After all, they truly deserved each other. He needed someone he could control and manipulate, she needed to be controlled and was easily manipulated. And they were both about half off their nuts. But, being mindful of Karma, I tried not to secretly hope they'd make each other miserable for the rest of their lives. (ok, i hoped a little, but tried not to dwell on it.)
Fast forward to today, about an hour ago, and here I am trolling myspace....
Well, gosh, that profile looks like her (my class was small and she was the only person in it with that particular name), but damnit! it's set to Private, so I can't see much more than the photo. (*scrutinizing photo*)... damn, that looks like Asshole with her.... (*email profile to Kerry for consultation*) (*checks myspace profile name*) -- "the future mrs [insert Asshole's last name here]"
HOLY SHIT!! No Fucking WAY!! she's actually MARRYING him?! Bwaaahaaahaaahaaahaaa!!!
(*PHONE A FRIEND*) kerry - damn, no answer. Mom - double damn! Andi??? - FINALLY, i get through to the one other girlfriend who can TRULY appreciate my recent discovery. She was having a bad day and needed a laugh. and a few minutes later I had mom on the phone and kerry via email enjoying this as well. lots of snickering, tee-hee-ing and no-fucking-way-ing going on.
so, having hashed out the hilarity of the whole thing, i sit back with a smile plastered on my face and enjoy the little present the Universe has given me today. THIS is why I respect Karma... she can be a real bitch. And in light of that, I wish them happiness and bliss for the rest of their days.
No really, I do.
I swear.
EDIT: Kerry did some recon and found his myspace profile... as the song says "Whoomp! There It Is!!".
