People can be so effing weird!

Okay, I've debated whether or not to post this but it's just TOO weird and TOO good. Stuff like this always happens to me and I don't know why. I used to be friends with this girl, B*, when she was new at a job of mine. She seemed cool enough and like she didn't buy into the bullshit and totally talked crap about everybody. We totally got along because I can't handle phony, pretentious bs either. About a month into our friendship she starts asking me about this guy at work, K*, and I'm like 'Whatever, whatever, yeah, he's funny" and that's it. Well, one day K* stops me in the hall at work and is like "Why the fuck are you telling people we hooked up?". WTF? I'm like "Dude, what the fuck are you talking about? B* was insinuating to ME that YOU were the one saying some shit went down between us but because I know it's complete bullshit I kind of just ignored it. What the effing Hell is going on?" So he and I had this like super cheesy heart to heart and it turned out that this *B chick was CRAY-ZEE as hell!! She had been telling each of us that the other had opened up to her and told her that we had hooked up! Gross and weird!! So, that day, I just stopped talking to this girl. She ended up getting ALL involved in every single bit of gossip where I worked and would like latch on to each new person who came along because they didn't know her rep yet (for loving drama). That went down like 18 months ago...

I recently went on a much needed 3 week vacation...All I did for 3 weeks was sleep, hang out with my boyfriend, watch Maury Povitch and put everything back in perspective. The DAY I get back to work, I have a notice that I have a Facebook message from *B.... (who, remember, hasn't even spoken to me in like over a year)???? so I read it. As follows:

hey... Its 3 something and I just got home, checked my facebook, saw a robyn update and looked your profile. I had to message you because of a couple reasons. I think you're awesome and needed to make contact with you. U remember we really connected a couple years ago then didn't anymore. you're insane and awesome and I want to say sorry, over facebook, for dis-connecting us. I think you're great and wanted you to know. Go ahead and analyze, robyn, as we know you do, but just remember it takes a lot for me to bullshit so please just accept the compliment and apology. Can we gave coffee or brunch soon? To catch up.

*B

Um...wtf? At first I thought this was the handiwork of this totally psycho guy that I used to work with who had a mental breakdown and quit, because of the slightly 'aggressive' nature of some of the sentences (i.e. Go ahead and analyze, robyn, as we know you do...") but whoever really wrote it could actually spell. So it couldn't be him. So I sat on it for a day...what to do? Message her back? Ignore it? I discussed the creepy matter with only like 2 people to save both of us (*B and me) the embarrassment of a highly juvenile situation. I considered the fact that *B could have been drunk (she did post at 3:48AM on a Monday morning...) or that she could have been on Ambien, people do all KINDS of retarded shit on Ambien. Finally, I decided to be the bigger person, even if it was a trick, and responded in a highly neutral way to deflect any weirdness and take away any ammunition. So this is what I wrote:

Hey...you know, a lot changes in a year and a half...ha. I honestly hadn't even really thought about any of that in a lonnngggg time. Whatever, you know? I've just been working my ass off on my boss' desk and deciding what I want to do / where I want to go next.Thanks for your note. Anytime you want to get coffee or anything just let me know. I haven't left my desk for coffee OR anything in ages...

A day went by, two, three...It was finally Friday and no response. I conferred with the 2 people I had previously discussed the matter with. They had no ideas. I gave up. And to this day I've gotten nothing but a super awkward glance when the elevator doors opened and it was only the two of us standing there. I looked away so she wouldn't feel bad but then I thought about it. Who GIVES a hell??? I didn't do anything weird. Fuck that. Ugh.

There's not really any point to this story other than some people are really weird. I mean, wouldn't you at least acknowledge it and be all, "Oh, sorry Dude, I was wayyy drunk..." or some shit. Ignoring it is just psycho. And any sort of drama over Facebook or MySpace is embarrassing!! I knew I shouldn't have fallen for it!!!!

THE END
