Guilty Satisfaction

I am guilty of one of the greatest moments of my life. A while back, I blogged about how joining Facebook was a mistake because I didn't really find a whole lot of friends from high school that I wanted to reconnect with. Well, that stance hasn't changed, but I do love Facebook. It's a one stop shop for me to post my blog, to put a link to a favorite video or website. I have also connected with a lot of Geezer friends that I normally wouldn't have gotten in contact with. But this morning, I got to have one brilliant moment of giving the middle finger to an ex-friend that always treated me like crap in high school.

Even thought I'm not going to mention his name, this guy was one of the most two face friends that I have ever had. Not going into details, but after high school, I realized that he wasn't much of a friend as I thought he was. Well, today, he sent me a friends request over Facebook, and in a moment of pure clarity, I clicked the "Ignore" button. I started to shake uncontrollably after that, but not from anger or me being scared. I was shaking out of joy. This may sound silly, but I feel like I actually stood up for myself in a way that I was never able to do in high school. I know that sounds stupid from a 30 year-old, but that's how I felt.

But I have to add this, because I would feel like I cheated you if I didn't mention this. This friend that tried to be my "friend" probably was waiting for me to send him an invite, just because he thought that I was this hanger on, but he was wrong. And now that I write this, I kind of regret not finding out why he took so long, or if he didn't see me until this morning. Some things I need to find out right away, and other things can remain a mystery and I don't care. Odd, don't you think?
