Three white chicks sittin' around talkin'...

[carasol]

 So ceebeegee  and wonderpanther have done pretty much all the recapping from yesterday's adventures at the courthouse. I can, however, talk about what happened in the hallway while the trial was going on.

Lori, Elizabeth and I had to sit away from the courtroom during the trial just in case we needed to be called (as it turned out, only Lori did), so we snarked and

Oh sweetie. Try not to beat yourself up too much. Did she hear you? If not, then your motives were--you were coming from an essentially good place, trying to support your friend via snark :), who loves you for it.

I felt bad for her as well, but mainly because (as I said) I wanted to tell her RUN. Get away from this succubus!

Look at it this way; you've saved someone from becoming the Fungus' friend.

:)

Seriously, though, it's not your fault. From all accounts, The Fungus leaves a trail of steaming drama wherever she goes. That poor women just got sucked into her furked up reality.

Tesse, you're one of the kindest, most considerate people I know and I know you didn't mean any harm to her.

It doesn't matter what I meant. What matters is how she took it.

Okay, Mamet aside--I was deliberately mean to someone I didn't know, and who I had no right to judge. I could have taken the high road and just ignored her, but I chose not to. She didn't want to be there in the first place, and I helped make the experience that much more unpleasant for her. I behaved like the girls who made my high school years hell. So, yeah, I feel crummy about that.

Of course, if she'd been a cherished friend of the Fungus and had been there as a character witness (heh, right), I'd feel totally justified in being a hateful bitch to her. Go figure. It's only the fact that she got dragged into this that makes me see my actions in a bad light.
