Lashing Out

AM Gym has always been an interesting class. To me, it sets the tone for the day. Usually, I'm crabby in the morning, but walking around the bleachers energizes me. Or sometimes, a good release of emotions has the same effect.

A friend of mine - actually, a BEST friend [or so I thought] - kind of pissed me off Friday night, which was the night of my senior prom. As we all know, prom is huge deal. If you don't go, well, I mean, it's pretty much a mortal sin. I know it's insane, but that's just the way it goes. Dig? Yeah. + like most people, I want to have FUN at my prom - a great, drama-free night of dancing, food, + the occasional sip of alcohol. Unfortunately, although I did have a great time at my prom, someone crossed my line.

My date Donnie + I had always been acquaintances, but never great friends. Nothing against him or anything, but we just didn't talk. Recently [somewhere around my breakup with my Joe], we began to talk more and got friendlier. As friends, we decided to go to prom together, and all was well. My friends gave the usual "OOOOH Donnie's getting someeee!" jokes + we laughed, every single time. Then, all of a sudden, Kati decides she doesn't "approve" of my date [not like I care what she thinks - considering I almost hooked up with hers] because he may or may not have said things about her cousin. WHATEVER. Nikki is in Ohio + probably could care less about what people in good ol' W-B, PA are saying about her. That's just my guess. But, you know, people can't ever keep their mouths shut. So we had talked about it at lunch and she gave up on arguing with me. Yay. But then prom arrived....

Kati was hitching a ride with me + Donnie, which I thought was totally stupid. Her date ditched her, probably because she fucks with his head all the time, so she was going alone, therefore she thought she could come with me. Blah. Anyway, I asked her NICELY not to say anything to him about the past, just let it go so we can all have a good time. Well, about five minutes after we took pictures at Donnie's house, she started. I could tell he was feeling uncomfortable + I was starting to get pissed off, but she kept going. I didn't want to cause any drama, so I was quiet + let sleeping dogs lie. Well, whatever. We got to prom + she just ignored Donnie, which was fine by me. But THEN, she was a bitch to my friend Emilee's boyfriend. Vince is probably the nicest + most polite guy I've ever met + he makes Emilee really happy. HOWEVER, Kati doesn't like him because he's 27, which, by her saintly ways, is way too old for Emilee. Whatever, I could care less. But she told him [very rudely] to shut up + told him that nobody was talking to him. Ouch.

So this morning, I finally called her on her bullshit. She - of course - denied everything, even though I heard everything she said + knew it was all true. She cried her eyes out + tried to make people feel sorry for her, which people did, which is ridiculous. When Sabrina [Emilee's cousin + another best friend] asked me why Kati was crying, I told her what had happened. Everyone agreed with me, so I don't think I'm at fault.

Not like I'd care if I was. I said what needed to be said, + I'm content.

Bye!
