The above mugshot was taken before all the crud started to hit the fan in my life. Although I only worked at the nursing home for 4 nights (without any known complaints), it was a valuable experience for me. It was my first job working as Marian.

Why do I mention this?
I got a response from my former cruise partner today. (Today, meaning the day I'm writing this entry.) She claimed that she tossed my letter - as I expected she might. Sad for her. She could have learned a lot by reading the letter. But then, she never was much of a person to be introspective, or to be calm when processing things with which she is uncomfortable. In anger, I responded by telling her to go screw herself and the horse she came in on. Knowing the horse, she might get better action from the horse than she was getting from her then BF when we were still friends. (I'm just joking here. I have no way of knowing this, nor would I want to know. The horse deserves its privacy. 😉 )
Being serious, I know I wronged her two years ago. It's her over the top unchecked anger that is a problem. I'd hate it if we were to bump into each other in a public place. She's just crazy enough to cause an unwanted scene, as she goes from Zero to 100 in a heartbeat. I'm just glad we live 30 minutes apart, travel in different social circles AND will be sailing on different cruise lines. One thing our last cruise taught me is to avoid doing things with a lonely person after she breaks up with her lover. I'm just glad that I will never again hear her complain about people being too busy to deal with her immediate needs and desires.
There will never be much more to say about her in this blog. She became a non-person after our dust up, and is no longer worth the price of a postage stamp. Yet, it's amazing how people can be assholes (myself included) at times. It's just funny that she reads my blog at times, when she hates me so much. (Now, with this post, she has something she can complain about for the last time - just not to me.)
I can only look forward to the future with friendships healthier than our friendship was. Yet, I must thank her for helping me grow as Marian when I needed it most.

At least, the rest of the weekend will go off on a better note. I'm looking forward to seeing miniature "Stay Puft Marshmallow Men" on the big screen....
PS: If you liked the 1st film, you'll like this one. It's the sequel the 1st film deserved.
