A few ladies in my office just told me they're taking me out to a bar after work tomorrow AND that they're making me lunch I'm really gonna miss it here. Guaranteed I cry tomorrow.
Kels and Schmerg, my dad is trying to talk me into coming to Ocean City for a few days. He refuses to understand why I'm not driving 11 hours for a few days.
So, a few months ago, my crazy ex-roommate/friend FB friended me. I ignored her request but then she asked again and I said yes. Since then, neither of us have said a word to each other.
So, today she wrote on my wall that she's coming to town (she's since moved to NYC) with her (even wackier and really annoying) friend and we should hang out!
Now, mind you, when I moved out of our apartment, she turned into a raving lunatic. The gas bill was under my name and she refused to call and get an account w her name on it (mainly because she owed them a ton of money from a previous apt). I gave her ample notice that my account would be closed and she better get one on her own, etc. Well, the gas company wanted to come in and physically turn off the gas and she FLIPPED out on me and threatened me ("You'll be sorry"). Basically, she wanted me to keep the account open until she could find another poor roommate to open a new one. Yes, she wanted me to pay for her gas once I moved out. I had to get the landlord involved and everything. This is only the tip of the iceberg of crap I dealt with from her.
So, long story short..I really don't want to see her. My life is much less toxic without her in it. Do I just ignore the post or say "um, no thanks."? OR, do I accept this olive branch that she's apparently offering? Bottom line is that I do not want to be her friend anymore.
DON'T SEE HER!! If she is just coming to town for a short visit, you could just make an excuse that you are just too busy, if you don't want to be too blunt.
I say cut all toxic people out of your life. It is my motto.
newgirl, if you don't want to be friends with her, there's no real reason to accept the olive branch anyway. It's better to cut off contact altogether.
Also, I saw (500) Days of Summer yesterday on your recommendation! You're right...it was really, really good. Not too artsy to annoy me, yet done very well. My mom loved it so much that she's making my dad go back with her tonight! So, thanks for the great rec!
newgirl, I will reiterate what the others have said. Kick her to the curb.
Hey, newgirl you're in Chicago right? Chris is interviewing for a job (had a preliminary phone interview today and the head dude is supposed to call him on Monday) for a company based in Chicago and if he gets it (please God) he'll be doing 6 weeks of training there.
JAG, I'm glad you liked it. It had a hipster edge to it, but it had a sense of humor. Absolutely loved the scene of Tom's triumphant walk down the street. And the guy that played his friend at the card company..the guy that did drunk karaoke..that is Christina Hendricks' fiancee.
Yes, Mauri and I are both in Chicago, Stock. It would be awesome if he got the job. If you or Chris need any recommendations for fun things to do, let me know. It's a great city in the summer and fall. Winter can be harrowing.
Tomorrow is the last day of summer school! But I have a buttload of homework to do tonight and I'm pulling a C- in that class. Let's hope I can keep it from going to a D!
"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim
I'm drinking Jack Daniels straight up, by myself, watching The Lost Boys. WHAT HAS MY LIFE BECOME? At this point, I'll be lucky if I end up like those ladies in danmag's picture.
