Am I in middle or high school? Hell no! So all this stupid drama needs to stop. If you follow me on Twitter, you will know the past couple of days haven't been good. Do you remember me mentioning a girl named Ashleigh in my blog before? The girl from work that I became friends with. Well, our friendship is over. Thursday, at work, I was joking around with her. I called her "retarded" (I do this with my boyfriend and close friends all the time), and when she left 10 minutes early I said, "I don't know what she's gonna do if she ever has to work full time." I wasn't saying it in a serious/smart attitude kind of way. The whole time I said it I had a smile on my face. That's clue I was joking. Maybe I should have just kept my big mouth shut. However, she really overreacted. She sent me a message on myspace saying she doesn't need someone like me in her life who tries to bring down her confidence. I messaged her back apologizing and saying it was a joke, but that's not good enough for her.
Then I discovered she was talking shit about me, and this really set me off. I got really shaken up. I was crying and literally shaking. She's acting like I am the one who is wrong. Sorry, but I am the one who apologized. I am the one who is trying to act maturely and settle this like adults. She is the one that is talking shit about me. She is the one acting like a 12 year old. She's been talking about me to some girl who I have never seen or met before in my entire life. This is their conversation from myspace comments:
Some girl: "whos talkin bout cha mama? do i have ta smack a bitch!? lol jk! i always love when ppl talk like that knowing damn well your better than they ever will be so thats all that matters! right!? and im sorry but being a mother is the hardest job in the world and when your wroking on top of that to support yourself and your family shewwww i give ya major props on that cuz that only takes a REAL WOMAN to be able to do that! ok im babblin and i dont even know whats goin on! sorrry =]"
(What does being a mother have to do with anything? I never said shit about her being a mom. Yes, these girls are both mothers. They need to grow up and act like it.)
Ashleigh: "HAHAHA I LOVE YOUU! yea some dumb little bitch at my work, shes always got something smart to say, cuz shes jealous lol and i left 10 mins. early today cuz my back was killing me! i think i have a pinched nerve, and she was like GOD i wonder what she would do if she had to work full time…im like BITCH, why dont you mind your own god damn business, fucking stupid little bitch!! hahah i was pisseddddd"
(I always have something smart to say? I told her it was a joke, and it wasn't meant to be smart. I am nice to everyone. She is the one that stood me up a while back when we were supposed to hang out and acted like it was no big deal. Yet she gets this pissed off about a joke? wtf!)
Some girl: "WOW! are you serious!!!? where do you work! guess im makin a trip! i might have to walk LOLOLOL! for one its none of her busines why you left 10 WHOLLEEE minutes early haha! maybe she sould get a life and stay outta yours!! thats the prob with these bitches these days they never mind thier own business and always have drama cuz thier in everyone else livesss."
(I have drama? No, I am not the one talking shit. It's bitches like these that have the drama.)
Ashleigh: "yea this bitch is a haterrrrr;D she does not want to talk shit to ME! lol"
(Umm… who's the one talking shit?)
Obviously, I was pissed after reading their convo, so I sent Ashleigh this message:
"I'm not mad at you. I'm not hating on you. But why are you calling me a hater and a bitch? I told you it was a joke. I will admit it was a bad one. I asked Linda what she thought and even she knew I was kidding around. I know your back hurts a lot and you don't like to sit. That's why I was poking fun at it, but it was wrong. How many times should I say it? I am sorry I hurt you. I am deeply hurt by this too, just so you know. I'm trying to be mature about this and settle this like adults. I don't need the high school drama. So why is someone I've never met before leaving you comments about me? Please discuss this with me and not someone else. You don't have to like me or be my friend. Maybe you never did? I just don't want the drama. This reminds me of middle school and I was TORMENTED, and sunk into a deep depression because of stupid drama. Every time something like this happens, it gets me very shaken up. I would appreciate it if we could please settle this. Write me back, please?"
She hasn't replied yet. I'll keep you guys updated.

"Ashleigh" seriously just needs to grow the fuck up. What a "great" friend. Pft.
I hope you guys work things out, even though she seems like kind a bitch to me.
Eew how old are these tramps? Starting drama is SO immature anyway, but once you are a mother, you are held to a new standard in my eyes.
I'm so sorry for you! I COMPLETELY understand you, I also get very shaken up when this kind of things happen… I think you reacted very well by sending this email. It is sincere and nice. I hope she will be mature enough to answer and to understand. GOD I just hate impulsive people who can't deal with a misunderstanding like grown-up people!!
I can be perfectly honest? In a small way, I can see where your friend Ashleigh might be ticked. Before me and my best friend became really close like we are now she use to joke around with me all the time. The thing is, only one of us was laughing. When I told her to lighten it up a bit, her response was merely, "Aww..come on! I was just joking!" Yeah, I know she didn't mean much harm (even though at the time I felt like she did) but it still hurt. I even stopped talking to her awhile because I considered her immature and inconsiderate of my feelings. And some those emotions may have been going through your friend's head. Sometimes you really have to put yourself in the other persons shoes to guy a different perspective of a perceived overreaction.
However, I do think they way she choose to handle the situation afterward is inexcusable. You sincerely apologized and if that wasn't enough for her she should have came to you up front and told you so. No need to get other parties involved. I hate that kind of stuff too.
guy = get*
Damn typos.
I also apologize for any other typos. I running on two hours of sleep right now.

To be honest, Britney. Even though I don't know you personally, I did suspect she wasn't a good friend when she ditched you awhile back when you guys made plans.
People like that have the issues. I've found it more common that young mothers are more immature than high school girls. How sad. SHE needs to straight up and not take things so seriously, especially since you were the bigger person and apologized. Pfft. LAAAME. You're better than that!
People like her aren't weren't the trouble to be honest, they seem to thrive on stupid high school drama. You've apologised to her just in case you offended her (which would be stupid, doesn't she have a sense of humour?), what more does she want? None of this is your fault, you've done all of the right things, she's the one who has caused this problem - it isn't worth getting upset about (:
I hope she does respond to the message, it would be very immature of her if she didn't!
I wouldn't even bother with her. There are plenty of other fish in the sea. Who needs her? You deserve way better.
Aww, that sucks. I would say something mean about her, but… well, that would be just as bad as her little convo on MySpace, wouldn't it?
I think you're being way too nice and understanding. Tell her you're over her immature bullshit and avoid her at all costs. Be professional in the workplace, but the rest of the time? Forget her.
I can see whta youmean, it sounds like everything's just been blown WAY out of proportion! Oh well, I hope you can sort it out, but if you don't, I wouldn't worry too much, it sounds like it'll be her loss.
You should find a new friend, she doesn't seem like a great friend. She needs to grow up if she doesn't get a JOKE, she really has no humor. Also you shouldn't beat yourself up about it.. Like you deserve better you don't need her =]
I'd be really upset about this too if I were you.
I hate it when people I've never met before talk about me, especially in the way that girl did.
It would be nice if Ashleigh wants to talk about it with you and solve the whole problem. I mean, you're colleagues and you're still going to have to work together!
Good luck! ![]()

Aww, I'm so sorry. I know exactly what you're going through. I was depressed for a long time over being bullied to. I use to be scared to go to class and still am sometimes. But, this will all blow over. I honestly don't think she's mad at just you. I just think she's angry overall in life and it just came out on you =/. Much love
Oddly enough, I'm pretty much going the same crap right now with someone. So, I know how you feel. You did deal with it very maturely. However, in my opinion, I don't think she's going to act very nicely in return. I don't know, I could be wrong. I hope things get better. =D
I m so sorry she acted like that Brit!!
I know it wasn't exactly sweet what you said but it didt mean that you were meddling in her life or that you were calling her a shrinker or whatever it's called!
I am sorry you had to go through this!
And I mean after everything, she wasnt hurt, she was angry!! and she didnt even discuss it with you!
You are right it is not mature especially if you apologized and tried to fix things which is a lot more than other people do!!!
*hug*
She's not worth your time, seriously. She handled this situation in a completely immature manner by talking about you behind your back to a person who doesn't even know you! You tried to fix things, but in the end, it's her fault for acting so immature. Don't let this get to you!
Wow. They sound nothing like mums. I feel sorry for kids with mums like that! And like everyone else has said, you've been too nice and understanding and she's not worth your time!
I hate catty bitches too, that's why most of my friends are guys lol. Nice site
online drama is for kids. the worse thing you can do to somone is IGNORE them. move on and away from her supersensitive silly ass.
Oh wow, her and I would never get along then haha. I do the same with my friends. -They say something stupidly funny- -I laugh- "You are such a retard".
Thats retarded of her to freak out like that. I could see if you said something worse than being a retard [a swear word for example] then her being a little upset. But still, wow. Girls eh?
I hope you get through this the best way possible.
Try to calm down, these things usually end up for the best, either you finish up this friendship, which tell that it wasn't that good after all, or you sort it out and that should strengh your relationship.
Missunderstandings happen all the time.
I get offended all the time for the wrong reasons, so I kind of understand "Ashley's" feelings. Not everyone knows you that well, so despite the smile, being called retarded is not exactly nice.
Then again, once you apologized she should have let it go.
I swear to gah, those comments really ticked me off. I mean, Ashleigh has the freedom to be offended and stuff, but it's obvious that she and that friend of hers think too highly of themselves. It's one of my biggest peeves when people start calling people they barely/don't know names. How assuming can you be, dumbass.
