Hmm .. how funny when someone is so right on with a statement that they don't even know it. Someone I used to associate with, (who is very selfish and tactless, hence the 'used to' part,) has made some new friends recently. Well, really not new, they used to be my friends, so technically, just new to her. She always has been one for sloppy seconds. But, I am getting off track ..

These new friends graciously invited her to a BBQ at their home, which she said she may attend. In my opinion, when new friends extend an invitation to get to know them better, it's polite to accept said invitation, if your schedule permits. (By the way, I should mention here that being a fat, lazy bitch and scheduling time sitting on your ass on your couch does *not* count as a previous engagement). With that said, I'm sure I need not tell you that this person elected to do just that, rather than attend the BBQ with said new friends.

On her own site, she has written the words, 'some things change, some things don't, yet I am still me, deal with it.' How appropriate that she define herself in this manner. I would have chosen 'self-serving, slothful cuntbag', but that's just me. I'm rather direct, you see ...

Many times during the course of our friendship, I would extend the same sort of invitations, even planning a party for her prior to the end of her 'single-life' when she moved in with her now husband. I tried to be thoughtful and include her in my life as much as she wanted to take part, which I soon found out was very little indeed. You see, outside of her office, her Volkswagen, and her living room, she really has little interest in cultivating any real relationships. She even met her husband online. She would much prefer to sit in her lounge chair, snooping around on the internet, trying to find out what is happening in people's lives that she is no longer a part of, having been banished for her narcissistic behavior.

I don't miss this person, and I find that her absence as an enemy stings much less than her absence as a friend. I see that she has learned nothing from our parting of ways, and in fact, seems to have become more bitter and closed off than before. I see how right I was in my decision to remove her from my life, and I feel fortunate that it was not a long-term friendship that I had put a lot of time and effort into before realizing what kind of person I was dealing with. You know what they say about hindsight .. until next time.
