Real Friends
Last night we went to the gym and played some racquetball with Jenn and Les. I played with Jenn because the guys hit the ball really hard and we’re not all that good. Last time we played we went to these courts that were very closed in and seriously smelled like gym socks. True, after a while we didn’t notice but still! G-ross! So the courts last night were fresh and airy. We were playing and after a little while two girls came by and started watching us and when we took a break they went in to play. I think they were btwn 9-11 years old and they didn’t even have racquets, just a ball. At first they were sorta playing handball but it turned nasty fast. They started throwing it at each other really hard. Then they started getting pissed at each other and saying, “Stop!” They kept whipping the ball at one another then one girl said to the other girl, “You suck!” Then more ball throwing, then one girl pulled the other to the floor by yanking on her braid. Jenn and I were, uh, laughing. Some friends! I told Jenn that I hope we’re never that close.
Oh, speaking of crappy friends! Our friends Andrew and Jackie were moving out of their house into an apartment over the weekend because they bought a bigger house but it won’t be ready until July. So they had another couple, Mr. and Mrs. X, and Jackies parents help them move. Also, Mr. and Mrs. X were letting Andrew and Jackie use an extra bedroom and their living room for storage. First thing Mr. X did was cart the nice patio funiture Andrew and Jackie have over to his place to use on his own deck and he was gone for like an hour but he only lives 15 minutes away. Then they helped out for a while but after lunch they disappeared. Jackie called thier place and Mr. X said that since it didn’t seem like there was much for him to do that him and his ole lady were gonna take a nap for a while. He told Jackie to call about an hour in advance so they would know. Poor Andrew and Jackie were pretty upset that their friends punked out–also Mr. and Mrs. X wanted a take back on the storage and said they could only use the extra bedroom. Taking a nap in the middle of a move?!? WTF? Those friends kinda suck.
