[Pictured: (BELIEVE ME, you WON'T see these two pictured often on my blog) Sometimes "friends" sometimes frenemies, Hilton and Richie]

I can't say I blamed her for befriending me, with my affable personality, trendsetting style and professional "connections" - If I do say so myself, I am quite the catch - heterosexualy speaking. I would befriend me - but for different reasons (you see, I am also kind and caring and though it may not be entirely obvious in this post, a modest human being).

What I didn't realize until very late in our "friendship" was that she seemed to only be chummy when she was in need. A problem with her boss (disguised as a desire for a higher paying job) for instance, forced her to seek encouragement, reassurance, requests of me to put in a good word for her - to whomever. Then, just as suddenly as she caught me up in her whirlwind of popular girl-gum smacking-adult-high schooler-masquerading as careerwoman world, she dropped me like a hot potato. You see, I no longer served a specific need and frankly, she had no use for me.

I would love to say something to her, a sort of "I gotcha and totally know your game" and speak to her in the language she seems to know, cracking my own gum and smacking an L to my forehead. Instead, I sit here writing to vent my pent up frustrations. There's little point in confronting a user. If someone "befriends" you for their own personal gain, they won't really pay attention to what you say anyhow.
