    MYOB!

    Isn't that what people used to say in grade school?? MYOB!!! MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!

    Last night I got called all kinds of things by a friend, who probably thinks is helping out an interesting "Alanna" situation but really probably has no right whatsoever.

    Anyway, long story short, I was told I had to talk to someone, make it clear where things stood between the two of us. I hate having to bring things up with people, have never been good at it, and its one of those things that I REALLY should work on. But, because I hadn't done it on command I was rewarded with some pretty ferocious backlash complete with being called a bitch and being told that I like to use people because it's fun.

    I took the coward's way out, writing an email, and sent it off. (Thankfully my cousin was online at 2:30am to help me... she read my first draft and told me that "wow, you really do just write things without censoring your thoughts...")

    Woke up this morning to a reply which was more or less along the lines of "I'd figured out where we stood and I'm cool with all that".

    So to my bitchy friend, MYOB next time.

    Randomly was running through blogs, I totally used to say MYOB too, but at first I thought it said BYOB.

    With friends like that, who needs the bitchy bitter friend who highlights your inadequacies and that you keep around in case you want to remember what pounding your head against a wall feels like, oh yeah.. you don't really.

    Also, in this day and age, an email is acceptable.

    Sorry for being a pain, but someone needed to give you a kick in the ass before things went to far....you had been putting it off for weeks....So if you don't want my input then dont talk about it for two weeks
