Cursed Part 1

I am going to see the movie "Cursed" on base tonight. It stars Christina Ricci, who is a mega-babe hottie in my book, so even if the movie sucks ass, I will still get my money's worth by drooling at her for however long the film goes for.

I invited Melanie to come with me yesterday, and she agreed to attend. For once I thought she would actually live up to a promise and do something with me as a friend. I talked with her again today and she decided not to go with me after all. Some bullshit excuse how she forgot that today was Adamma's birthday and she wanted to go to that instead. Adamma is a sweet girl whom I admire also, but I'm not close friends with her. We're pleasant with one another but we don't associate outside of work or anything.

Oh well. Melanie is proving to be a liar as well as a terrible friend despite the "talk" we had Friday. I suppose a leopard can't change its spots after all.

So instead I invited Courtney on a whim to go along! Fuck if I'm going to let Melanie ruin a good evening! I spoke with Courtney after lunch today and she said she might be able to make it. If not, we plan on going to A-Town tomorrow night with friends for dinner. The difference is Courtney offered to make it up to me this way, in case she couldn't make it to the showing. This is how a friendship is supposed to work. Give and take. Not just one side giving and the other side taking.

I told Melanie she was a "taker" a long time ago and ever since then she has never let me live it down. The truth hurts, don't it? More importantly I told her she is a taker of emotional currency. A fucking parasite. Perhaps it's good that I will never see her again after this Friday. While Courtney hasn't gone the distance with me like Melanie has, she's definitely been a much better friend to me in the short time I've known her, and that means more to me. I even asked Courtney if she wanted to go to Osan this weekend and meet some friends, and she agreed it would be fun, but had plans already planned instead. At least she didn't make plans with me, only to change them without so much a courtesy call.

So I'm not counting on seeing Melanie at the theater tonight but I will genuinely be shocked if she does show up anyways. Truth is stranger than fiction.
