Holy crap, yesterday was awful. I was still sick from Thrusday's headache, and to make things worse, one of my friends is probably going ot date one of my ex's.
I have conflicting feelings about that, but it's not my decision.
I talked to my good friend Katie about it and she was totally floored.
"She cannot do that!" Katie insisted, "It's in the Rulebook that girls are not allowed to date each other's exes. It's in the freaking Constitution!"
Ashley turned around, "What's up, Linds? Who am I going to beat up?"
I laughed, "No one is going to get beaten up. We were just examining the Rulebook. Besides, what am I going to say, 'no don't date the poor guy I dumped to go out with another guy'?"
Katie growled, "Well, it's still wrong."
"Maybe so," I said, "but lots of people trample me to get what they want, and in the end you just gotta roll with the punches."
Ashley stared at me. "I wouldn't that that $^&$. That's stupid."
She's right, you know.
No, she isn't. You can't give up all of your friends just because they violate some stupid rule.
But you don't think this rule is stupid, do you?
Linds, you can't just 'roll with the punches'!
Why not?
Because I'm not going to have my life ruined because your too concerned with pleasing half-way friends!
She is not a half-way friend! She just likes my ex! You can't help who you like!
You know, you do have an unhealthy obsession with keeping all of your friends happy.
So after science class, the way I normally do, I walked to the library with thr friend I was trying to keep happy.
"So what's wrong?" She persisted. "I thought we were like this!" (Crossed fingers.)
"We are, it's just I don't know if you want to know."
"Of course I want to know!"
Well, I told her.
Probably not my smartest move.
Then later, at the library, guess who we meet up with?
Yeah.
So then she tells me what she had told me earlier that day, "I kissed him on the cheek."
And then they both just looked at me.
I may be an actress, but I do not want people looking at me to gauge my reaction.
Especially when the reaction is so crucial.
Smile.
Say that's great.
Make up something.
THEY ARE STARING AT ME!
Calm down, kiddo. I haven't hurt you before, have I?
It never hurts to be polite.
Oh yes, easy for you to say. You don't have to stare into the faces of your friends as if they were enemies.
They are enemies.
NO THEY'RE NOT!
So now I've got that to work out,.
But it pales in comparison if I just consider going to see I Am Legend.
It'll all be ok.
I hope so anyways.
Love,
Lindsay
P.S. If anyone can find me a copy of The Rulebook, I would appreciate it.
