[quote=Lucian] I have, to a degree. I rarely speak to my mother anymore, but my friend's all thought it was hilarious, so they spread it around like wildfire. It's become mimetic in my friend group IRL, and it's kinda' hard to go for long periods of time without being reminded of it. I appreciate the sympathy. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping for some commiseration when I posted this. Unfortunately, she's still off gallivanting in her own crack-addled world. Only now, she's doing it in Florida. (I think) [/quote] Of course Florida. She is in the land of her people now. I do commiserate with you and only time will help the memory of that fade and hopefully add some maturity to your friends so they can see how much that it affects you. [quote=Lucian]I know. My friends definitely aren't people that I would make friends with now. They're friends by virtue of having known me for a long time only. My friend group is notoriously bad at giving a fuck about how their actions effect others. [/quote] Ah, those friends by convenience. Well, I hope nothing bad or embarrassing ever happens to them. :rolleyes
