I will survive!

We sort of reached an awkward truce over the weekend. I gave her all of the episodes of a tv-show she loves and had missed over the past few weeks. She brought me an icecream when I was studying. But as inevitable as an old lady sitting on a park bench with her legs wide open, it all went sour again.

On the weekend it was the 21st birthday of a friend and he'd organised a big pub crawl for all of us to go on. It started quite early, at about 5pm...but we're uni students and drinking at all hours of the day is what we do best! As we live quite a bit out of the central part of the city, we needed to get the train in and leave by about 4.30 to get there on time. No biggie! Except for TLR. She decided that 5pm was way too early to start a pub crawl and she'd meet us later on. Fair enough, I suppose. To her credit, she turned up at about 6.30 and joined in the festivities. I suppose I need to explain a little background at this point so let me introduce you to Jay...

Jay is a friend from uni. During the time when TLR was befriending FF (and essentially completely ignoring me) I started hanging out with Jay more and more and ignoring TLR. Now TLR had a problem with this. She couldn't understand why I wasn't hanging out with her and bending over backwards to make her happy like I used to do. What I accomplished was showing her exactly how it felt with her ignoring me, something she had a major problem with. She was cut. Had no idea that she'd done anything wrong and thought that me hanging out with Jay was some malicious act of betrayal.

*sigh*

Anyway, we've made up since then but I still enjoy spending time with Jay, particularly seeing as we don't see each other as often any more since she moved to inner Sydney. Jay was on the pub crawl and it was the first time I'd caught up with her in a while. Perhaps I was ignoring TLR a little, really anything that woman does just gets on my nerve these days. At about 7.30 we moved on to the next pub and on the way we ran into FF. She wasn't on the pub crawl because recently she lost her license (too many speeding tickets!) and didn't have a valid form of ID. TLR latched onto her and that was the last we saw of her that evening. The next day she posted on facebook:

"Great night, bar hopping, bestest friend, STI cookies, cherry beer, crazy karaoke and a burning desire for Gay Bar! Funfunfunfunfunfun!"

Well let's digest that for a moment.

Bar hopping? She was only there for one of the bars we went to. I suppose she got halfway through the "hop" to the other one, but that's a stretch. Bestest friend? Oh my, I've been officially downgraded! (tbh, I can see why. I don't act like a voluntary slave for her any more. FF does though)

It's the karaoke part that makes me saddest. Ever since we moved to the city and met I've been saying "we should do karaoke sometime! We should go to one of those karaoke bars". Now she's gone to do it and didn't think of asking me along. I LOVE karaoke; although thus far my experience has been limited to Rock Band or Singstar. It's something I've always wanted to do. She knows this, knows that I love singing. I take it very personally that she didn't ask me along. PLUS she abandoned all her friends (and the birthday boy) when she'd committed herself to the event already. Didn't even say goodbye. Is it just me or is that a tad rude?
