Friends???

Some of my so-called "Friends" I've known from off-line sometimes make me wonder if they're worth the effort. You've seen the pissed-up rant about my crappy saturday, well the whole situation got me thinking after I got a message from said "friend".

I'll start with a bit of background. I'm not a suicidal person. I don't have suicidal tendancies, although some people would disagree after experiencing my driving, but occasionally I do think of it. Lets face it, everybody does at some point or another. Well, I was pretty down on the saturday, and left a message on her answerphone on th eway home after texting her trying to find out what the hell was going on earlier in the night. The gist of the message was that I'd had the crappest day, was looking forward to going out with her, that it wasn't meant to be, and that "Maybe I'll see you around sometime" and left it at that.

Now, she is one of the worst people at responding to messages, but the next morning I got a text message saying that she had to rush down to brighton to help a friend in need. Now honestly, how long does it take to write a message saying "Sorry, can't make it"

Now, another (female) friend had arranged a day out at THorpe Park just after easter (this was arranged about 3 weeks previous) as well as meeting up for an occasional curry and catch up. Now, she is even worse at answering calls ot texts, and it kinda gets annoing/depressing when it seems that your friends are ignoring you.

Ho-hum. Semi-depressing rant over.
