It is disappointing when you find out that some friends, or should I say acquaintances, will stop at absolutely nothing to get something their way... It doesn't matter if the birthday celebrant wants something else or has made alternative plans. It is the prerogative of these type of people, actually person, to just waylay anyone else's plan without any qualms whatsoever. They will lie, connive and twist to suit their purposes under their illusion of the great master plan of theirs. Now I recognise that she did so with some gd reason, and I think the birthday girl enjoyed herself. I do hope so. But the point is this type of personality is toxic. Just like the ex, they have their own reality and that is the Only one they will accept, no matter the consequences or the collateral damage along the way. Your reason is bad reason simply because it's not their reason. Can't win arguments against these people cos you never know where the goalposts are, and you know they'll win the match someway somehow no matter the cost or hurt.

Well enough of a rant, I had an awesome night out with funky t and the motley crew that ended up at butter. It was spontaneous, it was fun and most importantly it was honest. And it's heartening to realise I have come to the stage where I can put my hurt and disappointment aside at being stood up by a dear friend, engineered by liargirl, dear friend's spineless bf & aided by liargirl's brainless crew (who the hell takes away a bday person's phone & lies like that?) no doubt, to realise that in the end what matters is her happiness on her day. And your plan might have taken effort but in the end all that was to make her happy too, so notwithstanding the different route (and the snivelling way toxic took to get to that route), the end point is the same.

I've always said if you don't rain on my parade, I won't bother you.. But tho usually if u do I make sure u regret it, in this case it's not worth my while to spend another second of my time on liargirl, cos I'm done with drama, and just get on with my own happiness. And I know what is impt to me and what makes me happy now so I just drop whatever's not impt, cos it's simply not. No more getting hung up abt other people's issue, time to look out for my own happiness. Cos I've done my time and I deserve it.

And boy was it a night of great dancing with my bro funky t - the substitute bday boy :)
