people who abuse friendships!!!!

ok, so i really that it's not always going to be rosy with your friends. a lot of things have been going on between some people that i'm very close to that has been upsetting me. one is it that people abuse the friendships that i have??? let me state a situation that happened to me and my sister; we feel very disrespected by this person; i'm not going to mention names so i'll just use initials.
M and her boyfriend breakup, she leaves the house they have shared for the last 2 yrs and starts calling some people to see if she can stay the night there. it's 2a.m so peeps are knocked out. she calls me, asks to spend the night, i say ok. she spends the night and leaves the next day. didn't hear from her until she wanted her charger. wanted me to leave it outside of my apt, so i did. doesn't call me but a few weeks later shows up at my apt when she finds out that her bestfriend was at my place. walks in and leaves without acknowledging me or my sis, matter of fact, asks another one of our friends to bring her purse down to the car since she had already walked out. haven't heard from her in a couple of weeks. M and her bestfriend have a falling out. bestfriend brings up the way M treats all her friends including the one's that she had stayed the night at. M states that the reason she has not called me or my sis is because we "are not friends like that". ok, does anyone see a problem??? if we "are not friends like that" why call and ask me if u can stay the night?? the many times she needed to study before class, M would call me and ask to study at my apt. so we "are not friends like that" after all the times that i opened my doors and accepted her into my house???? besides the point, M tells bestfriend that she would apologize to me and my sis the next time she sees us. we run into each other the next day, my sis and I smile and wave at her and try to speak to her. she treats us like we are her classmates, people she only talks to when she needs something. i'm not mad because she didn't call me to say thankyou, its her comment about how we "are not friends like that, i don't talk to them like that" that threw me over the wall. if u don't talk to me like that, why the hell did she call me to stay the night at my crib????????
why again do we abuse the friendships that we make in our lifetime??

Intoxicated, High of life for no reason!!!

I thank GOD for 2006. it has been going well so far. i'm so blessed to be where i'm at right now eventhough i feel stuck when it comes to the fact that i'm graduating at the end of this yr and don't know what i'm going to be doing. last yr was not good for me at all, i was not at peace with myself for one reason of the other. my father whom i had not seen in almost 15 yrs passed away and it hit me like a ton of bricks. i didn't cry for him, i cried for my mother. i remember watching him beat her up against a wall when i was only 5. its funny how that is the only memory i have of him. i finally got my car and a new job. i love it, the people are nice and i'm my usual talkative self around them. no guys in the picture as of right now except for dude from denver who i talk to once every a couple of weeks, he makes funny comments about us dating, he won't come out and say anything directly but who cares. I have cut down my partying habits, i'm saving money by doing so.
I have grown so much in the last couple of months, i have learned that only a certain amount of people are looking out for me. i love the idea of loving my friends and i mean that in every way. I'm high of life for the simple reason of how this yr is going, positive right now, and God-willing it will stay on this path. "living my life like it's golden" jill scott!!!

Amid the talk about gas prices and immigration reform, how do we forget about...........

Tuition raises???? I'm so sick and tired of reading The Shorthorn (UTA's newspaper, for those who don't know) at the middle of every semester to find out that tuition is going up again. I remember my freshman year (Fall 2002) paying just $1,800. Now, they (UTA's administration) has the nerve to tell me that i have to pay close to $3,000 for 12 hrs. Ok, is this supposed to rush me to graduation date???? What about the people who work full time and go to school part time who are abundant at UTA??? So while we sit in our poli sci classes debating on what should happen to the illegal immigrants, let's ask ourselves how we are going to survive another tuition raise!!!!
