Hello again

A while ago, I met up with two friends.  We met up at the mall, but ended up sitting down at the food court and just chatting.  About everything and anything.

Somehow or other, we ended up talking about a friend of theirs.  That person, C, I had met a few times a few years ago and we did all go to the same high school, but I really wouldn't consider her a friend.  I did not like her then, and having seen her again once or twice again last year, I probably dislike her even more.

My friend was telling us how she called C once and C was pissed off.  C gave my friend sh*t because she hadn't met up or called C in an about a month.  C said she was wondering if they were still friends.

To put things in perspective, this is the first time I've seen my friend since July.  I probably only see her about three times a year.  She lives outside of the city and it's about an hour drive to get here.  She works two jobs, including some night shifts.  She does not live an easy life, and never has.

And this person, C, is giving her crap?

The C that I know, on the other hand, has spent three years in Japan and traveling in Asia.  I don't know where she gets the money to do it, but as far as I know she's never even had a proper job.  She thinks she's better than everyone else and forces her extreme green/environmental ideas on the whole world.  So much so that most of the people in their group of friends is annoyed by her.  So much so that she made someone cry.  So much so that she outright put my friend down.

Somebody needs a reality check.

Being friends is not about how many times you talk or meet up.  If we're friends, I'm confident that even if we don't talk or don't meet up for a long long time, nothing's going to change.  We can still talk and laugh about everything and anything as if we just talked yesterday.  We can talk sh*t with each other and nobody cares because we all know what the real deal is.  Life is busy.  I may not know all the things you've been up to, and you may not know everything about my past.  We all have our own set of responsibilities and it might be harder to meet up sometimes.  But that's okay.  Nothing will change.
