Worst Friend
So I had a perfect day yesterday, after a middling performance on a final a friend of mine whom I was supposed to have dinner with canceled- or more accurately, I txt’d to confirm and then he remembered and canceled. This puts him at a six month perfect record for canceling on me, and means he’s in the running for his second straight year of being my worst friend. He’s not awful or cruel: otherwise he would become my enemy. Instead he seems to have developed an ambivalence where he makes plans with me and then cancels at the last minute. I’ve let it play out, and intend to continue. Last year, he clinched the award when he canceled christmas eve because of a last minute request by his Soviet parents.
