Friends...
Last night I posted this on Facebook :
There comes a time in your life when you realize you have to stop making time for the people who don't make time for you.
Tonight I posted it on Twitter. The reason I posted it last night was because I have a friend who is always lagging on me. We make plans and at the last minute she always breaks them. Every time I feel disappointed, sad, hurt, even a little self-pity. I got to thinking why I keep this person in my life. They obviously don't cherish our friendship the same way I do. I started thinking about how many time we've hung out over the last year and how many of those times I initiated the hanging out. My Dad always tells me, "The phone work's both ways." That kept running through my head when last night. Why is it I'm the one always initiating the conversation. I don't claim to be a busy person who's time is valuable, but when I set aside time for someone, I expect them to follow through.
After posting my thoughts on Facebook, I received quite a lot of comments about other people feeling the same way. I was actually surprised at how many people commented. That is why I posted it on Twitter tonight. Again, other people have felt the same way.
I know some of you are wondering why I didn't just tell this person how I felt. I guess I prefer to drop subtle hints in hopes they would figure it out. She did. She said she hadn't even realized.
Some people you can be forward with, some need hints, some just don't care. I guess the hard part is determining which friend you're dealing with.
You only quarrel with those you love. Those you don't love, well, it's just not worth the effort...
I'm not sure where this quote came from, but to me it's fitting because sometimes, "it's just not worth the effort."

June 11, 1991
It’s been 19 years. It was a Tuesday morning when I found out. I remember I was sleeping in my parents bed with my Dad. I can’t remember if my brother was there or not. I remember the phone ringing in the middle of the night. I think my Aunt Josephine called. My Dad was quick on the phone. I popped up ready for the news…the good news of course. She Died. That was it. Life was never the same.

Some men... they make it hard for the rest.
Today I was witness to some childish, ridiculous behavior. A friend of mine had been "talking" to a guy she "met" on Twitter. Now correct me if I'm wrong, talking is just that...talking. Talking to each other to find out if you have anything in common. Talking to see if you are compatible. Talking even as just friends. Now as far as I know, it was established they were just friends. He took her to lunch a few times, but he also stood her up a few times. Granted his excuses were plausible, they were nevertheless excuses. I'm not exactly sure how long this went on, but it couldn't have been more than two months. Well today she finally told him she only wanted to be friends. So instead of acting like a mature adult, what did he do? He attacked her via text and twitter. Instead of just saying, "You know I'm sorry thing's didn't work out, let's just be friends," he made fun of her appearance, her attitude, even her ethnicity. C'mon are you serious? Is that all you have? Wow what a winner ladies!! He's definitely a keeper. Then via twitter he talk's about her some more. Granted he didn't "name" her, he was pretty specific as to whom he was referring to. He made several off color comments that surprised even me. He even went so far as to say Laci deserved what Scott did to her (referring to Scott Peterson.) Wow! This guy must be joking. Nope, he was dead serious. Anger, hurt, resentfulness is no reason to lash out at someone for not being interested in them, and NO reason to make it public! You take it and move on. I mean seriously it wasn't even a relationship. At least she got rid of this loser now rather than later. Just think how much worse it could have been.
