i am very disappointed in some of my "friends" right now.
a prime example:
my friend sandra (who i've been close to for about a year and a half), never even bothered to call me when she left her husband, even though we were there for them every step of the way during their shaky marriage. two months later, out of the blue, she texts me, "hey how's it going?" i called her ex to see what was going on, and the only reason she contacted me was because she got kicked out of her friend's house and needed somewhere else to crash. so apparently i'm not important enough for her to tell me that she's going through a divorce, but i am important enough for her to use me for my extra bedroom.
i ended the friendship promptly. and i have to admit that lately i've been tempted to do the same with others. some people we have befriended out here have been acting half their age. which is sad, because it's not even like they're still young, and can play it off as them just not knowing any better. and stick a fork in me, i'm done with catering to it. these people are supposed to be adults, and yet the parade of drama, manipulation, game-playing, cattiness, gossip, exploitation, enabling, and competition is never-ending, and it's only getting worse.
no one out here in california really knows what i was like back home. i spoke my mind, stuck up for myself, and NEVER took anyone's shit. out here, i'm much more passive, and willing to to hang out with people that, truth be told, i never really liked in the first place. i guess it was just really hard on us having to leave a lifetime of friends, and then to all of a sudden have none. we made exceptions when people acted like morons, and passed out second chances like we worked at a soup kitchen. and now the texas bitch inside of me is screaming to be let loose. and i think i might just let her run wild. sure, i might burn some bridges, but i'd much rather have a handful of true friends than mountain of shitty acquaintances.
this is all i'll say on the matter publicly. those involved will be hearing from me very soon...
