Should we meet again, she'll regret it.

[gridlore]

A former friend is now dead to me. She has gone over the line this time, and I can not, will not, forgive her.

yikes, dare I ask?

Zie does have a tendency to sow destruction behind zir. I'm just glad we've all achieved escape velocity from zir orbit.

*hugs*

That's so sad; I'm sorry to hear it, Doug. Is she refusing to talk or something? Is there nothing at all that can be done?

[twfarlan.livejournal.com]

Gee, I simply cannot IMAGINE to whom you are referring.

Maybe I should ask Person B's spouse. Maybe she'd know to whom you are referring.

How craptastic.

[the-ogre.livejournal.com]

I really, really hope it's nobody I know.

Re: How craptastic.

[kshandra]

Oh, you know.

IM me (on Yahoo)?

Y'know, some people just aren't worth the jail time. But some people really, really try hard to prove themselves to be otherwise.

[murphymom.livejournal.com]

Just think - if you'd shot her when you met her, you'd be out of jail by now...

Look you can't drop a drama bomb like that and then not say what happened. its totally not fair. and if you didn't want to talk about it you wouldn't have said anything. So assume that we have placed bamboo under your fingernails, used the rubber hoses and bare bulb on you and tell us what the story is.

[kshandra]

Nobody you know, nobody you'd want to know. Sun shines out her ass, the universe exists solely for her entertainment. The question "If it's not about me, then why are they talking to me?" actually came out of her keyboard once. Put plainly, I have fewer regrets about Machell than I do about this individual.

[kshandra]

I told Doug I had dibs because I've known her longer.

[kshandra]

Nothing at all. She's a former girlfriend of mine who has a disturbing habit of retconning the universe to suit her desires. I really did love her, once....

[kshandra]

the_ogre said it best, ages ago: She's not a catalyst, she's an accelerant.

[hopeforyou.livejournal.com]

BTDT. I'm sorry.

[hellloooonurse.livejournal.com]

Do I know this person?

I have fewer regrets about Machell than I do about this individual. There's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

[autographedcat.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry for the loss and the drama. But I'm so stealing that phrase.

[autographedcat.livejournal.com]

Ouch. I had an ex who did that. Drove me absolutely round the bend. I finally called her on it and said "I'm sorry, but I can only deal with things as they were, not as you would like to remember them."

And that, as they say, was the end of that.

(What drove me even more insane is that that behaviour is one she'd routinely call other people on and castigate them for. A friend of mine observed, "Well, of course. If she let other people get away with it, you'd have two people lying, and you'd NEVER be able to figure out what was really going on.")

My deepest sympathies to you both.

An appropriate icon for the situation

And a chaos vector.

The question "If it's not about me, then why are they talking to me?" actually came out of her keyboard once.

And here I thought that was just hyperbole, a joke told about her to illustrate the point.

[kshandra]

I think this is the first time I've actually referred to her by name on LJ - usually it's She Who Pouts. Here's a blast from the past...one of the last times I actually spoke to her, shortly after I got on LJ five and a half years ago(!!!).

[silverstorm2013.livejournal.com]

Friends don't let friends post in LJ before coffee
----------
Wow, We both have the same tastes in girlfriends (rotten), at least you have good taste in Boys.

Sigh sadly not a option for me....

I’m so going to have to get you drunk at next con and get the whole story……

[kshandra]

"I'm sorry, but I can only deal with things as they were, not as you would like to remember them."

Even that I might be able to handle ($DEITY knows I've been guilty of it myself in the past). This is a case of making mountains out of molehills to make better soundbites out of her story.

[kshandra]

Me too.

[kshandra]

He posted it to dot_cattiness (or one of the offshoots), so I doubt he'll mind seeing it propagated.

[silverstorm2013.livejournal.com]

You know she finely stopped with the urban legends, now she just sends the Friendship Angels and other Schmaltz.

I don’t mind it too much, I have a few friends who like that kind of thing so I just pass it on to them. That way they get warm fuzzes and I don’t brake the chain :-)

Re: An appropriate icon for the situation

[kshandra]

At least that's all she's been a vector of....

[kshandra]

The ones that aren't too painfully cute, I post in my journal behind a cut-tag after I cut all the "Don't break the chain!" bullshit. The ones that come to me with the "Send this back to the person you got it from OR ELSE" riders I won't pass along, but I'll write back to the person who sent it and thank them for caring about me (even if I can think of far better ways to express it).

[odanu.livejournal.com]

Though I'm only on the periphery of this mess, my friendslist became one name shorter yesterday.

[kengr]

But it'd be safer all around if some random LJ friend with no obvious connection to her did it. While you and Doug had ironclad alibis.

[kengr]

Uh, Doug? Since that serial number looks suspiciously like it's from after they started using SSNs as serial numbers, posting it is a reallly, *really* bad idea...

[kshandra]

some random LJ friend with no obvious connection to her

Does such a thing even exist? *snort*

[lizw.livejournal.com]

Well, in fairness, I don't think what happened to her was a molehill. I think it was wrong of her to say what she did, and what happened that day certainly devastated other lives in a way it did not devastate hers, and saying what she did was an exaggeration at best, so I can see why the saying seemed to fit. But "molehill" trivialises what did happen to her just a bit too much, I think.

[kshandra]

d'oh...

[kshandra]

Fair enough - a mountain out of a foothill would perhaps be a better representation of scale. Not something you ignore, but not something that should be overstated. (Claiming the events of the day had a direct effect on my personal life, when what it directly affected was my professional livelihood, would have been molehill territory.)

[kshandra]

My taste in women has improved since then, thank $DEITY.

[lizw.livejournal.com]

Yes, that makes sense. Thanks for the re-phrasing.

[benkenobigal.livejournal.com]

Hey, how do you know my sister??? :)

[kengr]

Since I have no idea who this person *is* (nor any desire to know) I almost qualify.

[collie13.livejournal.com]

Ditto (although I confess to curiosity) -- and no, this isn't an offer to get rid of the undeserving, sorry. I've got others on my list first, if it ever came to that. ;)

[omimouse.livejournal.com]

As has mine.

I think I'm disapointed in hir. I honestly expected better.

[kengr]

(humming a tune from The Mikiado)

"I've got a little list,
They never will be missed..."

[collie13.livejournal.com]

LOL! Always loved that song. ;)

[dandelion-diva.livejournal.com]

Sweetheart, you had nowhere to go but up. :)

Love you.
