That "friend"

You know that "friend" that you only associate with because you have a mutual friend, but if it wasn't for that mutual friend you would not even be seen dead with that "friend".

I have a "friend" like that.

M is the mutual friend and T is the "friend" of the mutual friend.

And it is especially hard when I live way outta town and the only way I get to see my friends and vice versa is if I come into town, but M and T live together so you can't really avoid the "friend". Also to make matters worse the "friend" pretty much thinks she is friends with you because you go to their house.

Oh god.

Anyways, it came to my attention after being within this circle of friends that the "friend" T is really annoying. One of those people who, if you're having a conversation with them, they're doing all the talking and you're just there to serve as ears. Everyone within the circle told me she was annoying but I enjoy meeting new people so I gave her a chance.. 5 months later it has hit she is the most annoying person on the face of the Earth.

Now I know myself that I'm annoying, but i'm the sort of annoying where it's ok because i'm friken hilarious (tickets anyone) and if you have a day away from me, the next day we will be totally fine. But T is the sort of annoying where if you give it a day, the annoyance just grows and eats you inside until you want to commit self harm. Not something i'm fond of..

She also doesn't like it if M has me or S (another friend explained later) over and we get along with her with our personal jokes and laughter. Because she feels left out.

GET SOME OF YOUR OWN FRIENDS.

So the shit started to get hurdled towards the fan when I helped move T and M move into their new apartment/house, and her true spirit just shined.

Moving day was Friday.

I went to T and M's old place to see if they needed any help packing. T (the "friend) decided to tell me (not ask.. tell) that I needed to go through everything and pick out what's mine and take it in my car so they don't have to pack it in a box (just some clothes and some dvds) I said I didn't feel like it and she tried to pressure me saying "It's just going to take up more room" and my argument was "Well my shit's just going to end up at your new place anyway because I come around practically EVERY day so I don't see what the big deal is if 10 of my dvds and 3 items of my clothing are in your boxes."

I should also state a friend S was there helping pack stuff, she's in the same boat as me, being friends with M and having to be "friends" with T.

So just before the shit could hit the fan, M and S decided it would be a good idea to take me to see the new crib and help them clean.

I calmed down. Yay.

Cut to moving day, T only had 1/4 of her things packed and still hadn't emptied the fridge and defrosted it, or EMPTIED THE WASHING MACHINE WITH HER CLOTHES IN IT SHE HAD PUT IN 3 DAYS PRIOR. And just little things like that. It shitted me but wasn't enough to make me lose my mind. But then she walked into the room and the attitude just made my blood boil so I had to go have a smoke because I know how hard it is to move stuff, and having a mini war going on wouldn't help, so me being the adult (ha!) went out for a smoke to get away.

Then I spoke to M and explained to her (she was getitng annoyed as well) so I let her know that I would help move all of the communal stuff (tv, cabinets etc) and her personal items, but I wouldn't help Ms Lazy-Bones because she doesn't deserve it. (ps. M had everything packed already so I was more then willing)

The day went great, I kept my distance from T because I knew I would blow up because I have anger issues (which i'm trying to keep in the past, and am going quiet succesful at). Then the shit hit the fan.

T (the "friend) had a chat to M (the mutual friend) when everybody went home and had a whinge that she felt left out because no one helped her move and it seemed like it was "Move M day" not "Move M and T day".

I got told this and laughed. I'm sorry, but I have no soul.

And now that I've come to realise T's annoyance I just want to keep clear.

The old me would confront the issue head on and just come out with what up, but I used to be very aggresive and I haven't yet figured out how to be straight out with someone without being aggresive about it.

AND THEN!!! Tonight I was at the house seeing M because she sicked and we watched Big Brother and the whatnot, and I did not look T in the eyes, only once to say hello just to keep the peace.

Then I said we should get drunk one night and get a glowing ball and play brandy in the park with it, and T said she didn't know what "brandy" was and I said jokingly "OH MY GOD. What did you do as a child you reclusive shut in" *I'm not even sure if that made sense. To which she replied "Well Craig I was an only child until I was 10 years old so I playe by myself".

The comedian in me had to go for the joke

"Don't you mean until you were 10 you played WITH yourself" BAHAHA. *wipes tears of laughter from eyes*

Then she cracked it grabbed a cup of ice and tried to tip it on me and I was like .. WHAT

I KNOW

So I held the cup coz it was like one of those cardboard-ey ones so none of the ice would come out and get on the couch and the whatnot then M yelled at T saying "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING MY NEW COUCH DONT BE STUPID"

Then she got the shits and locked her self in the room.

Boo.
Fricken.
Hoo.

Then M and I watched "Kate & Leopold". worst movie ever. What happened to Meg Ryan?!

Then I left.

Interesting times me thinks.

Ps longest post ever.
*note to self. never type long ones again.
