Call me Mrs Ranty Mc Rant-Rant

I'm getting a cold.

This is making things I would normally be totally Zen and Froody about make me feel instead extremely cranky.

For example. The play. We open on Friday. Do I feel ready? No.

I will never do double casting again. I get why the director did it, and I'm glad, because it does get more people invested in our little company, but it is so hard. First of all, one can't help but feel one is in competition with the person in the same role, which is totally not true, but nonetheless, there it is. And because of the double casting, there is never enough time for each person to practise the scenes. Tonight we were supposed to run the show twice, but halfway through my rehersal, he decides to turn it into a speed through, and totally skipped the last scene, which I have not had that much practise in.

I'll bet the other Diana gets to do it.

And the director keeps adding things at the last minute.

And people keep complaining at me about things which normally, you know, Zen and Froody, but today, not so much.

And remember how this woman I thought was my friend got all mad at me at Christmas? It's still bothering me. It's weird. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about it, and wonder what exactly happened.

I invited them to my birthday party. They didn't come, but they didn't even call to say they couldn't come. I don't understand how someone could 'defriend' like that. I was there for her when they were going through lots of stuff, and it really hurts that it meant nothing to her. Sometimes I think I ought to say something, but then I think, as Shakespeare wrote, she is 'not worth another word'.

But it still hurts.

Sometimes you just never really know a person. I can tell this story here because we don't have this person in common on LJ.

Back in January I started hanging out with two girlfriends, whom I had met initially through LJ, but obviously who live near me. For about 4 months the three of us were great friends, emailed, hung out all the time, got dinner, went shopping, etc.etc. All the things that girlfriends do.

Then around...May, I started noticing that one of these friends wasn't really commenting in my journal anymore, nor responding to my comments in hers. There had been no falling out, no anything. When there were group email conversations, she'd never reply to me. I invited her out once and got a blunt reply; I thought it was very strange, and tucked it away. Finally I invited her and other friend out once more on purpose and got another equally (if not more) blunt reply in return. At that point, I decided something was completely screwy, but as a grown-ass woman I didn't have time to deal with it.

Long story a bit shorter, I met another mutual LJ/RL friend recently, and found out she'd done nearly the exact same thing to this person: dropped them like a hot potato.

All of which is by saying: at this point, write them off. You're a grown ass woman, and if they're not adult enough to tell you there's a problem, it's their drama, not yours.
