Luke and Nathan told me not to bring Jackie with me anymore when we hang out.

I don't see Jackie much these days. Luke, Nathan, Evan and I hang out all the time. So the four of us made our usual plans to go to our usual hangout place after we all got off work (and Luke and I work together, so it's easy), when Jackie called me and wanted to hang out.I figured it wouldn't be a big deal to bring her along with us -- Evan, Luke, Jackie and I all used to hang out together (back when we all worked together). So I told Jackie where to meet us, and she did and completely ruined the night. She would not shut up -- she would not let anyone else even speak. Luke, and I abandoned the group entirely -- Evan was too stoned to really care and Nathan felt bad about leaving him alone with Jackie.

We all left really pissed, except for Jackie and Evan, who were too self-absorbed and too stoned to care, respectively.

That was last week.

Evan canceled on plans with me twice, which he's never done before. Finally it dawned on me that he was afraid I'd bring Jackie with me again. I even told Luke this idea and he said it was probably the case.

So when Luke and I picked Nathan up tonight, we told him and they told me to never, ever, ever bring Jackie with me again.

"She's fucking insane," Nathan said. Which is true. She's gotten Baker-Acted three times THIS YEAR.

It's unfortunate, because I guess Jackie is still my friend, but I don't want to hang around her these days either. I don't miss her, though, which is a little sad because we used to be super close. But then, being around her always kind of put me in a weird mental place and kind of enhanced my own mental instabilities, which is never a good thing. I mean, I have actual OCD. It kind of annoys me when people are like, "Oh, I wash my hands all the time, I'm so OCD" or "I always keep my house clean, I'm so OCD" -- and I'm just like, Bitch, please, try living with real OCD. It's not cute and it's not fun.

Its strange how the world works..with friends...and the drama it carries..you just don't know where it might come from, and we do get so tired of figuring it out..after awhile.

I for one..do not keep a clean room. Its impossible. My mind goes somewhere else. Still..I am so scared of the things I've forgotten in this world. I check to make sure everything is locked up to the point ..I hate to leave the house. I might have left the stove on. And I'll have no reason as to why I might have. Lets say I don't cook much, either.

I'm glad you posted. Missed you.

I feel I have better guy friends than girlfriends. It is hard to sometimes..want to take the time for friendship. Especially, when you feel you are only being used in the long run.
