Oh the many better ways I could have spent last weekend...decided to venture to The-Ville to say goodbye to some 'friends' who are still in school there. I guess I wanted it to be some dramatic send-off where I would feel like my so-called friends actually cared whether I dropped off the face of the earth or not. Now it's not fair to say that none of them cared because a select few did, and for them I am thankful--but I was really hurt in the whole process. SMURFETTE....where do I begin. Originally, when she found out that I was coming into town, she said that I should stay with her, only to later ask me to find someplace else to stay Saturday night (the night I was to get in to town) because she wanted to spend the night at home which is a mere 30 minutes from campus. That was fine...I actually wanted to spend some time with SPAM who was gracious enough to house me last minute. Well low and behold, SMURFETTE didn't return to campus until late Sunday night. Again, that's fine because I was spending time with people who actually wanted to see me. She finally called to let me know she was back, but I simply informed her that I was going to be out with people and would just see her on the following day. The next day was supposed to be 'our' day. We were going to go see her wedding dress and go out to dinner, and just have a good, girly time. Guess what....she decided she didn't want to take me to see her dress so we didn't go. Gee, it's not like I'm going to get to see it any other time. She just showed me pictures...how special. Then, instead of going out to dinner--just the two of us, we made dinner with 3 of her roommates who are some of the most obnoxious people on campus. My day/night of fun just went from ok, to absolutely miserable. Around 11:30, I told her I would be back in a few because I wanted to say goodbye to SPAM since I would be leaving early the next morning. I was only gone 15 minutes, but when I got back to SMURFETTE'S she was in bed. What a BITCH!!! I picked up my belongings that I had left in her room and moved out to the living room to sleep on the couch...oh but wait, one of the girls had just gotten engaged that night and she and her fiance and another roommate were sitting there talking. Finally around 1:30ish, I was able to get to bed only to be woken up at 5:30 by one of the obnoxious 3 who was getting ready for work. Now, knowing that a guest is sleeping on the couch, do you normally stomp around, rummage through the fridge, dig through plastic sacks to pack a lunch, or blow dry your hair with the door open? Is it too much to ask to at least act like you are trying to be quiet???
God, I should have left in the middle of the night and yelled "To hell with all of you!!!"
It's weird to think that this visit could very well be the last time that I see SMURFETTE. She's really made it obvious that I don't play a role in her life anymore, and so she really doesn't in mine.
