HFCS: effika’s blog

I’ve purposely kept out of contact with my old friend Kim. She’s very clingy, gets depressed easily, lies to get attention, and gets jealous if I talk to any other friends. We used to be pretty good friends, but after 6th grade I couldn’t take it very well. She moved away junior year of high school, and we kept in touch until graduation. After graduation I left instructions with my parents not to give her any current phone #’s for me, as I simply didn’t want to deal with her again. Today my dad gave her my cell phone number. The one phone number I protect with everything I’ve got– only people I want to talk to have it.

She called and acted extremely hurt when I didn’t recognize her voice. We talked for a few minutes, but because I wasn’t feeling well I had a legitimate excuse to get off the phone. Unfortunately it seems like she’ll be around my family a lot, and it will be hard to gracefully avoid her. I told her I’d call her back when I felt better.

I feel like such a bad person for avoiding her, but she really drags me down. One of those toxic friend types.

Ryan came over and got some notecards, and we talked for a little bit about raw chicken and movies. Sean is on his way with Quizno’s for me. It was the only thing that sounded good to me… I’m so lucky I have him here with me right now. Feeling crappy isn’t so bad when he’s around. :-)
