You sound a bit like me, May. I'd do anything for friends, I buy them presents, help them with their problems, but then when you need help or even only stupid notes from class, they won't help! When it comes down to notes, they keep forgetting them, so by the time you've got an exam, you still have nothing! I give them always every schedule I've made, but I get nothing in return *grmbl*
Your problem is a lot more expensive, though =D losing money on a friend who has no money is a tough case =s
My mom always used to say you can't trust anyone for a full 100% but I never wanted to believe that, I always used to see the good things in people... They can't be all that bad... =)
I always do my best to see the good in people, too, but I don't think I can ever fully trust someone anymore. I've honestly gotten to the point where I don't see the point in making close friends (what most people would call "best friends"). What's the point of investing so much time and energy into a relationship and getting nothing back?
This is kind of off-topic, but why do people make such a big deal out of absolutely nothing? Most of my friends stress out over absolutely nothing. When I say "stress out", I mean that they break down into tears and complain about how absolutely terrible their lives are when they really have nothing to complain about. Is it just me? Am I being weird?
When I was in high school, my math teacher used to always put interesting quotes and funny stories on the outside of his door so that everybody could read them while walking through the hall. One of the sayings kind of sums up my philosophy. "The key to happiness: 1) Don't sweat the small stuff. 2) It's all small stuff." (I don't remember the exact words, but it went something like that.) Ever since I've started applying that philosophy to my life, I've noticed how much
simpler everything became! It now takes A LOT to get mad, and I'm usually in a very good mood! I can't even
remember the last time that I cried tears of sadness! (Tears of joy are a different story. :P)

I know where you are coming from May. I have some friends like that too and as if it couldn't get any worse, I've got family like that too.
Another one I love, is when they don't know that you're alive, but suddenly they remember when they need you for something :rolleyes:
Oh well, I've always known I don't mean much to people!
I totally know what you mean! One of my friends hadn't spoken to me for about a month, and then all of a sudden she starts talking to me on MSN. It turns out that she wanted me to correct her essay for her... <.< (When I was in high school, high school & university students used to pay me to help them with their essays, because I'm good at grammar, spelling, and essay structure. I guess that word got around, and she found out about it... She wanted me to do it for free of course...)

I'm sorry to hear about your friend, Dannii. <3 *hug*
Maybe you could think about it as celebrating your friend's life and cherishing the memories you had together. Maybe that'll make it less odd for you? And don't appologize! After all, we're all family now, aren't we? ;)
