Fair weather friends: they only like you when everything’s coming up roses.
Instead of those, I have some foul weather friends: they only engage and interact when their life sucks. If their life is peachy keen, they don’t pay attention, they don’t listen, they fall off the map. If they are partnered up in coupledom, they ignore the hell out of me. They, quite frankly, are sucking as friends right now.
I guess someday when it rains and pours on them again, when they aren’t all coupled up, they might want to listen to me when I talk or want me to listen to them. I may not be available that day. Leave your message at the motherfucking beep.
