Girl Code

Written on February 28, 2010 in Life

There is this thing….it is an unwritten rule of law between women. If one girl is interested in a guy, no other friends are to approach him, talk to him, make a move on him, etc. Most respectable women abide by this cardinal rule. Others, just simply don’t seem to care. It wasn’t until recently that I came across one of these women, not in real life, but on Twitter (This specific person shall remain nameless, but you know who you are!).

I told her, in a DM, that I was hanging out with a guy who was also on Twitter. Well, as soon as she found that out, she set her sights on him. But here’s the thing. He has become her online obsession. She DM’d him the day I told her about him, and well, lets face it, is still DMing him constantly even though she lives A PLANE RIDE away from him. Now, why would she do that? Of all the guys on Twitter? Why, oh why….would she become obsessed with the one that I started to like? It is for this reason that I have unfollowed and unlisted her on Twitter. I know she knows because she DM’d the guy IMMEDIATELY to tell him. I’m sorry, but I don’t need a friend like that.

She was NO friend to begin with! Amazing what some people do online that they would never do in person… although she probably would

Man! I can’t believe we have to worry about girl code on Twitter! That’s a sign of the times!

Becky-I ditched 2 of my closest friends (one was a friend since high school, and the other was since Kindergarten!) for putting men first and not valuing our friendship as much as I did. I can’t believe I was friends with such selfish, needy people. Goodbye and good riddence!

This reminds me of pie, Becky. Yes…I know what you’re thinking. “Goddammit, Sueanne, it’s not PIE. Why does every damn thing remind you of PIE?!” I’m the only person who really likes pie in my family. It really pisses me off when I had, like ONE piece…. and I go to get a second piece… and either somebody either THREW OUT MY PIE because they thought it was no good anymore, or they ate the whole dang pie. It’s MY PIE. MINE. MINE. There. I said it. I feel better now. I hope you do too. : )
