Bosom Buddies

My best friend and I have been best friends since somewhere in the neighbourhood of 1st grade. Of course, I did think she was a boy, and I often wondered (vocally) why a boy was in the girl scouts with us. She did look like a boy for a very long time, and she was always hanging out with this stupid boy, Michael Cornoyer, and getting into trouble with him.

And then she discovered me, and my awesomeness, and we became the best of friends. We were the bad kids of the girl scout troop. I wouldn't be terribly surprised to learn that the reason our troop leaders ditched our entire troop was because of how awful my best friend and I were, in terms of handling little girls. We were just generally a mess, and took advantage of the fact that our troop leaders neither controlled our grades or had the balls to tell our parents what little demons we were.

We quit girl scouts in 6th grade, when we had to switch troop leaders, merge with another troop, and deal with all that non sense. We stayed best friends though, and in late elementary school we picked up two more girls to be in our little clique. The four of us are still best friends, and whether or not we stay in the same town (highly unlikely) we are only a phone call away and we all love each other dearly.

That is to say, we love each other when we're not fighting. I don't fight with anyone the way I fight with my best friend. I don't even fight with my other two best friends. I may have raised my voice to them once or twice, but we just don't fight.

My very best friend and I, however, have no issue fighting, and we do it vehomently.

Usually when we fight, it just takes its course and we forgive each other and that is that. This time it's not going to happen that way.

Last year we weren't in each other's faces all the time so we didn't have an opportunity to fight. When we came home on breaks and things, we were in each other's faces, so when we did fight we had the opportunity to deal with it like we used to.

But I'm sick and tired of being treated like this, and I can't imagine how her friends at college deal with it. She is so freakin stubborn it's not even funny. She needs a wake up call.

And the only way I know how to wake her up is to not deal with her immaturity anymore. So if she wants to repair this friendship of 13 sumodd years, she should apologize for her actions. Grow a pair and manup.

It's not my problem anymore because I am not limited in my friendships anymore. This isn't high school where if you don't hang out with one person from your group of friends you are isolating yourself from all of your friends. Not to mention the fact that we never even hang out at my best friend's house or really do anything with her unless I come up with the plans. We're always hanging out at my house or going places I suggest. And now it's summer, and a million degrees, and my friends are going to want to go swimming in my pool.

My best friend is cutting off her nose to spite her face, and she can be my guest. I am done with her bullshit.
