I am a horrible friend.
Well, maybe I'm not, but when you hear those words on your answering machine/voicemail/whathaveyou it tends to make you feel bad. Right?
Well, definitely not in this case.
Some people can't say it right. They come off as if they're saying what they're supposed to, just because they don't want to tarnish their image, or salvage something with you. This is a case of prevention being scientifically wrong.

Advice time:
How does one go back from telling someone off? I ripped my friend (if he still is...) Keegan a new asshole two days ago. I told him it had been a long time coming. I told him a lot of things, and made him feel horrible. But getting it off my chest made me feel great, and I wouldn't have done it unless it was in his best interest. Fuck. Guess I was trying to make something work out. I'm waiting for him to respond to me.
What I want to know, I guess, is whether that's the proper course of action, or should I approach him instead?

What happens when the internet being your girlfriend isn't enough?

Depending on whether you want friendship back or not determines your response. I ripped into a friend about 5 years ago that as far as I was concerned I never wanted to see again, so if he didn't understand that was his problem. He hasn't tried to contact me since. I've talked about my friend Steve in my journals, I've ripped into him in the past, but since we've known each other so long, he always comes around again and we become friends again. Other friends have ripped into me, and I've ripped into them, but if I wanted to stay friends, I tended to approach them anywhere in between 3 days and 2 weeks, depending on how big the words were... and I've kept them as friends.
