you may remember that i told my old roommate (and best friend) to stay away from me for the rest of our days (this was once i got her on the phone right after i walked into my smashed up, bloodied apartment i had shared with her until that point). she had had one of her usual drunken/drug rages that for only the second time had been directed specifically at me. i let it slide the first time she erupted with me as the target, which was a number of years back, but only after taking about a year off from from the friendship (no calls, no talking if we saw eachother in public, basically we acted like the other didn't exist. i didn't make any contact after the incident, and she got the hint). strike one, shame on you. strike two, shame on me, so she was out after the window/property smashing and money owing. i achieved this result again by simply never calling her afterwards, and acting as though she doesn't exist the few times i've seen her out since then.
update: she recently paid my parents the $1200 she owed them. i'm still due about $2,000 from her, but don't ever really expect to see it again. just glad to have gotten her and her poisonous personality out of my life. i do expect to see her next month at my high school reunion. everyone's quite sure she will make a scene. it's open to the public if anyone wants to bring popcorn.
