A great stag

I just had an irreparable fight with one of my closest friends. I don't think anything can be done to salvage the relationship. The blow up has been brewing for a long while, over a month. I feel saddened, and a little lost. Not too sure really where I'll go from now.

I haven't lost a friend under these circumstances since high school. It was all the same except we got to the point a lot quicker, and we didn't have half a dozen groupies standing by to cheer and assist as necessary.

I'm upset now.

I don't know what to do. I know most of it will blow over, but when the dust settles there will be so many things left exposed, commented on. So many words exchanged, and we're both hurting. I know it won't be over until we don't feel anything anymore, but I only knew there was something left when we started in on the fighting. We've retreated to our corners to lick our wounds. I don't think she'll call again.

Oh, and btw it was mothers' day on Sunday. Oh, happy happy joy joy. Well at least I didn't have to go to lunch with them.

Enough said. I'm going to wash my hair now. Then I'm going to dry it. Then I'm going to go to bed.

"Then I pondered deeply in my heart and my spririt,
whether, since I had seen the fire and smoke, to investigate
but in the division of my heart this way seemed the best to me,
to go back first to the fast ship and the beach of the sea, and give
my companions some dinner, then send them forward to investigate
But on my way, as I was close to the oar-swept vessel,
some god, because I was all alone, took pity upon me,
and sent a great stag with towering antlers right in my very
path; he had come from his range in the forest down to the river
to drink, for the fierce strength of the sun was upon him. As he
stepped out, I hit him in the middle of the back, next to
the spine, so that the brazen spearhead smashed its way clean through.
He screamed and dropped in the dust and the life spirit fluttered from
him."
The Odyssey of Homer
Book XXIV, 92-95
