Well it’s my first post and so I decided this ramble was going to be something that’s been on my mind for a while now. Someone who is supposed to be my best friend (we went to secondary together) has become engaged. This should be a joyous occasion, yes? She was the maid of honour at my wedding. Maybe I’m old fashioned, but you’d think I’d have SOME part in her joyous day, don’t you think? I’m not asking to be the maid of honour. She has a younger sister and that honour (ha- see what I did there?) should and will probably go to her... but she hadn’t even really spoken to me about the whole thing!
I ran into the younger sister, who was also in my wedding, at the shop the other day, and she didn’t even fucking SPEAK to me. She grunted! So, am I just to assume that I’ve been completely kicked from their lives? It hurts!
We watched the movie Bridesmaids the other night and I highly recommend people seeing it. It's the first movie in a long time that hasn't either been a terrible remake or a fuckwit rendition of a "film." Even the husband liked it! But while it wad a great movie; it got me to thinking. No one in the wedding party, save my husband’s brother/best man, has really spoken to us since. Are we that lame that they don’t want to associate themselves with us? I just don’t fucking get it...
This brings me back to my old maid of honour... I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. She did fuck all for the bridal shower, did a half-arsed hen night and didn’t even pretend to be happy for me on my big day. Maybe I’m lucky that I wasn’t chosen... Maybe I’m being a selfish cunt for thinking this? Maybe...
That being said... I've come to the conclusion that people WANT me to act like a fucking bitch. Apparently I look like one... meh. The other day I was getting a coffee and an older woman walked up to me. I swear she smelled like those balls you stuff in the cupboard so your clothes don't get eaten. She had to have been at least a million and a half years old. Obviously I didn't say this, and I smiled at her and took a step back, willing to let her in front of me. I have a soft spot for old people.
The woman turned to me, smiled and said "Oh! Thank you dear! You know you're not nearly as scary as you look!"...

What the fuck? Really? Okay... So I smiled and didn't say anything, cos Mum always taught me to respect my elders... but what I wanted to say was "Wow! For someone who looks as old as dirt like you, you sure haven't taken the years to learn any fucking manners!" My friend Tylene said it best- respect is a two way street... These old shits just don't realize that the rules apply to them as well... arseholes. I need some tea...
