Friends

[taerowyn]

It's sad when a friendship goes kaput, but sometimes it's just gotta happen. That's one of the life lessons I learned in college (along with unlimited beer and wings doesn't mean you have to and if you have to sneak around to have the relationship, it's not much of a relationship), that in the end it's just better to let the person go instead of beating the thing into the ground. Of course, it does leave me wanting to say a few choice words to the person, but restraint is good, just let it be, and be sad, but only as long as it takes to call up your real friends and remind yourself what friendship should be. Or something.

What I learned in college

[eeyorekdm.livejournal.com]

As long as we're talking about what was learned in college... I learned that true friendships are the ones that take the least effort and if you just let things go that things will usually turn out the way they are supposed to. I also learned (through a pretty bad experience) that my alcohol tollerance is usually pretty good, but if i'm stressed out or a little upset I'll feel fine the whole night and then BAMM!! like a brick wall - I'm out for the count.. that wasn't a fun lesson learned (sorry about that Katy)

Sorry, deleted your last comment as don't want to cause issues by naming names, but yes to what you said. It's not casting too big of a shadow, just kind of sad. Saw the individual for the first time in almost a month at a mutual friends:

Person "Hey, how are you doing?"
Me "Fine"

Spent the evening talking to different people, then as person was leaving:

Person "I'll give you a call"
Me "sure, see ya."

What conversationalists. Based on past history odds are about 99.9999% sure that I will not be receiving that phone call and part of me knows that I shouldn't care anymore, but part of me does. It's that whole lack of closure thing. If we're going to be friends act like it, if not, let's admit it.

Sorry about that, wasn't thinking. (oops)

Anyway, I know what you mean about just wanting to know what's going on and getting it over with (as I'm sure you know). It's kinda like a wise Texan said, "why do you still go out as a group if you're really not a group anymore?" Either way it still sucks - sorry. :o(

Yeah, suckage but at least you figure out who your true friends are.

littledevi has a big thingie on it as one of her latest entries.

2 Cents... and I expect change

Friendships should be like water... even when they dry up, a simple shower can bring them all back. Sorry, it's raining here on Analogy day in New Jersey. I hate New Jersey. Can I come to Colorado?

You are more than welcome to come to Colorado, and face the six inches of snow and still counting. Snow days are just as cool when you're a grown-up.
