Things had kinda/sorta been ok.
I'd kinda decided that making a blog just to bitch about this stuff seemed a little too harsh, but then this weekend happened and I'm so glad to have a place to vent.
My friend and I have really been getting along pretty well, especially when it's just the two of us. Going out is still a little embarrassing because she wears such garish makeup and whorey clothes but I just try to ignore it and remain as classy and polite as possible to try and make up for her rudeness and off-putting behavior to the servers. I'm not kidding about the makeup either. It looks like she's getting ready for some 70s-era stage production--thick, cakey, bronze and green eye makeup, glitter everywhere, bright red mouth. Add to that sheer, v-necked blouses cut to the bottom of her (sagging) cleavage, tight jeans, and stilletos and it's really not a pretty picture. My husband says if I were a better friend I'd tell her how she looks, but now it's like it's been so long if I were to say anything I feel like she'd feel extra terrible about it.
So anyway, we had a couple of parties to attend this weekend and her behavior was so bizarre I'm beginning to wonder if she doesn't have some sort of degenerative disease. Her behavior is like a mental patient who's been taking Thorazine or Haldol--she kind of slurs her words, speaks in non-sequiters, and seems to be rolling her tongue around in her mouth all the time. We were at a pretty small baby shower on Sunday and she was telling these off the wall stories about her teen pregnancies that didn't work out and her abusive ex-husband. It was so awkward. I do my best to support her and to try to guide her out of those conversations and at the same time to be on my absolute, utmost best behavior so people don't think I'm like that too. It's such an uncomfortable situation.
