Here's
the background for the BQOTD.
A good friend of mine had a boyfriend towards the end of JC, and he ended up breaking her heart after about 2 years. Nothing new in this story, except that after that he turned out to be really lousy at keeping in touch despite claiming that he wanted to do so. And, he caused her a lot of angst because of that.
So, recently she was clearing out her stuff and she found a present from him, and she was wondering what to do with it so she sent out an email to a couple of us to get our opinions. Most people reacted rationally and actually analysed the situation, coming up with options like "If you want it to remember him by, then keep it. If you can remember him without a physical object then you can throw it away."
*yawn*
My reply:
"Burn the fucking thing. Preferably at the stroke of midnight on some dark and stormy night, along with all the other crap he gave you. And if you can dance around the flaming bucket chanting a hex (or a few), that would be better still.
Either that or send it back to him with a simple 'Thanks for nothing, dipshit.'"
My friend is often puzzled as to why I dislike her ex that much. He's actually a nice guy, and I know that personally since we all have common friends. The thing is, she's one of the strongest persons I know and I don't think I've ever seen her cry except for that one time, which I suppose only goes to show how much he must have hurt her. That is the key reason why I'll never forgive the fucker, even though I know he's a good person who just didn't handle the breakup very well.
So the moral of this story is, don't mess with my friends.
Addendum: And don't mess with my family either.
Posted by scrabbyfoo at October 11, 2005 04:33 PMactually i disagree. i think sending it back now would just make him think she still has feelings for him. burning it up too, it's like why waste the extra match? i'm actually even surprised she bothered asking what to do with it. if i were her i'd just leave it exactly where it was and do nothing. not worth her time pondering abt what to do with it.

I hope I haven't done anything to piss you off so far..except selfishly eating alot of your indomee at Whistler..
Sorry Sorry!!
pblossom: She thought it might be a waste to junk it and was wondering if she should give it away. I also agree that it wasn't worth the time to even think about it.
FJ: Hahahahaha. So that's why my Indomee kept disappearing... Never mind, we're family. Family protects family, hence the addendum in the entry.
