So, no blog post from last night because yesterday started off kinda bad and just got worse and worse, until I was eating way too much chocolate and crying pity tears on my couch.
So, an old friend (who, incidentally, I fooled around with right around college graduation time but have no real sexual attraction to) mentioned on facebook that he would be in town this weekend, so I commented that we should hang out if he was free at some point. He texted me on Sunday night so I told him to come over... 2 hours later he still hadn't left Williamsburg, so I said we should try for lunch the next day. Monday: long story short, he texted me back about 45 minutes after each time I texted him trying to firm up plans, to the point where I was wandering around the East Village looking for him until he was all "actually, I'm hanging out with a friend, so..." ASSHOLE.
The day was crappy to begin with anyway, and that experience really put a fine point on what I'd been feeling in general lately - that I just don't have the time or patience for flaky people. If you're in town and you won't have time to see me, that's fine, but just tell me, don't string me along for 2 whole days. If we're really friends, though, and you don't make time for me... then we're not really friends. Life is too short. So I deleted his number from my phone, and in about a week or so I'm going to purge a lot of facebook friends (him included) whom I'm just not close with and don't care to keep in touch with.
It's funny that my two best friends in the whole world are also total flakes. God love them, but picking up their phones or making solid plans (both of which I, as a Taurus, am obsessed with) is not their strong suit. It doesn't seem to matter with my best friends, apparently... Not sure why that is, but I guess it's one of those "love conquers all" situations - I loved these girls before I realized they were flaky. But anyone else? I'm not putting up with your bullshit flakiness. I hated Head & Shoulders when I had to use it, and I'm never going back.

I lol'd. The Facebook purge is good for the soul. And what an asshole!
I have a feeling I know which "friend" you're talking about. Sorry to hear he was a jerk to you, but I'm not really surprised.
And I like solid plans, too! Shall we make some for after Turkey day?
Pie - Yep, you know exactly who I'm talking about. Is he the same way with you? And yes, solid plans, just let me know when you're back in town :)
