WHATS WITH THE WORLD TODAY???!!! I mean these people…are they crazy or am I crazy??! Normalcy is on its way to becoming a rare commodity!!! Why is it so hard to find normal people these days???!!! And why is it getting tougher…and tougher…and tougher…as I grow older. You’d think by now the immune system would’ve developed an “anti-virus” to numb the shocks. I mean I’m not complaining…like I said, I love sudden anomalies of life…albeit my instinct reaction is shock, I always get a good laugh at the end! After all, where would our blog be if it wasn’t for them!
Let me tell you a story: I have this friend…no wait, let me back up…I happen to just know this girl who I went to middle school with. I was never really cool with her. During high school yrs, I ran into her maybe a couple of times on random occasions...of brief chatter. After high school, I didn’t see her for the longest time: she went off to some Ivy League school out-of-town. One night, at a friend's wedding, many yrs later I ran into her again & we shared some laughs over good memories...and then in March of 2007, she was added to my Facebook Friends List!!! I’m sure by now y’all must be wondering what’s the point of all this. Well hold on…I just think its imperative for me to draw out my past with this particular woman because I’d really like to summon up the idea *potentially*, after laying out all facts, if this woman is indeed crazy!!!
So thanks to Facebook, I knew exactly where she was vacationing at all times, where she was staying, what train she was taking from Rome to Naples, how lovely the Wall of China appeared from her hotel balcony…well…whatever…if you’re my reader I reckon you’re smart so you know where I’m going with this. Pretty soon her engagement pictures were up followed by every status displaying up-to-the-minute real-time wedding preparation updates. (I’m thinking…) Good for her! At least one of us found a normal man to declare a husband. So one fine day, I get this email from her on FB (mind you a week before her wedding):
Hi, sorry I havent been in touch (I’m guessing: no first name hence a Mass Email Distribution) - been swamped with my wedding stuff and work as usual and moving -- so much to do.
anyhow, I havent had a chance to officially invite you to the wedding festivities. I hope you dont mind but due to capacity issues, I cant invite you to the formal reception on July 11 - Sat, but I would love to have you join us at the Mehendi* (which is way more fun anyway) on Thursday at 8 pm at Parasio Maravilla. I hope you understand. I really want to see you and would love to have you join us but my finance (she really means fiancée) has a large family and we have over 100 folks just coming from out of town.
please let me know if you will be joining us
*Mehendi is a pre-wedding event*
Oooookaaaay soooo I'm not invited to the wedding reception but I'm invited to the pre-wedding event...hmmmh...which would be like going to the rehearsal dinner without the wedding invitation...NiiiCE...is this woman crazy???!!! Was she drunk when she wrote this???
I mean I don’t even know this girl well enough to be receiving an invitation from her in the 1st place…I'm thinking: If I were her, would I really invite me??? This invitation was downright rude, inconsiderate and unacceptable!!! And it desperately needed a response...so I emailed back:
woah...what an odd invitation! A piece of advice [insert friend’s name here]: a wedding is something to be shared with close friends and family. I just consider you an acquaintance. Have fun at the wedding. Sorry, wont be able to make it.
Trust me, it gets better!!!
The next day, this email awaits my presence in my FB inbox:
no worries - actually sorry to have invited you -didnt know you felt so strongly. I officialy un invite you and will also take you off my friends list. I dont believe in acquaintances and dont have time for that - but again appreciate the words of wisdom!!!!
OMG...OMG!!! LMAO...
It keeps getting better!!! Ma’am bridezilla stood by her words *oh she did* and not only did she remove me from her friends’ list, she blocked me on FB which means I can’t ever write her back!
So of course my inability to get the last word in leaves me no choice but to smile and move on. I go to Europe for 3 weeks, come back, and my sister is like “hey you, you’re the highlight of FB these days.” I’m like “what ma’am” She goes, well apparently, your email disturbed the bridezilla so much, she called one of our other common links (note that I refuse to call this common link “a friend”) and cried over what I wrote to her…and then that common link called my friend to tell her “Thinker-Bell shouldn’t have been this rude to the bride-to-be, after all she’s undergoing pre-wedding stress and everyone should be supportive; she didn’t do anything wrong” hmmmh
But c'mon...seriously...was I really rude there??? What about my feelings :( :(

You were spot on
Right on the money
You have energy to waste though
Some posters learn to ignore especially the attention seeking lot
They make storms in teaspoons.
They thrive on twisting people responses
