Let’s step back in time for a moment if you will so indulge me. There was a time when I befriended a girl, not necessarily because we had a ton in common, but because we were working in the same place and were one of the few women under 30. Over the course of a couple of years, we became very good friends. I used to tease her because she’s British and I found her pronunciations of things like “aluminum” (al-you-min-e-um to her) positivley hilarious. She was fun, and she listened when I had problems. I thought we’d be friends for a long time.

Well, that was until she fucked me over like no person has ever fucked over another person. Her betrayal was so vile that I am obviously STILL suffering some rather bitter feelings towards her after about a year and half. (understatement) In fact, I think Madeline Kahn (quite possibly the best comedic actress to ever live) said it best as Mrs. White in Clue. I’ve never understood how someone can be truly soulless, but if anyone comes close, it has to be her. How do you intentionally and almost with glee destroy your friend’s life? How can you possibly look at yourself every day knowing that your lies and malice cost your friend everything? How can you do that to someone you called a friend simply because you had a small dispute over rent? (or so she claims) She moved out and never showed the slightest guilt over what she did, nor did she even try to make it up to me. In fact, she and her boyfriend laughed the entire time they were moving her stuff out of my place.

So to hear today that she actually married the guy I introduced her to (a couple of years ago when we were still friends) sent me over the edge. How can she possibly have the gaul to be happy after what she did to me? The guy saw me today and announced that they married last week. I was tempted to say, “What…her green card get denied or something?”, but instead, I somehow instinctively pulled out my manners and simply congratulated him. I can’t believe I congratulated him on marrying some freakishly mannish ueber-whore. Again… flames… on the sides of my face…. While I can’t lower myself to wish her physical pain, I can certainly hope that her marriage fails or that someone screws her over the way she did to me. It’s just upsetting that she should be so happy in her life, when I am just starting to recover from the damage she inflicted.

Is there no justice in the world? When will the proverbial scales balance out? When will she get her comeupance? I have to believe that some day kharma is going to come back to bite her in the ass. I just hate to think that people like that go on to lead happy and fulfilled lives. Am I going overboard? Probably… but she wounded me in a way no one else ever has, and I think that entitles me to some ill feelings.
