I just need to rant.
I have this friend that I've had since high school. We've grown apart but still stayed in contact, until today, when she decided to delete me from her myspace.
What I'm upset about is because this is over politics. She's a hardcore Marine girlfriend, more hardcore than most, which in itself makes me uncomfortable to hang out with her (because all she talks about are the Marines and her Marine fiance, but not enough to just cut her out of my life), but it got bad when she posted this link on Nov 5th saying "To those who voted Obama:" and posted a link about 35 missiles were fired from Gaza. I didn't understand what she meant so I messaged her just asking what she meant by it and she got mad, because apparently she was being "attacked" here on FB (and has deleted her account because of it) for posting her die-hard support of McCain and smears against Obama. But I digress. So I asked what it had to do with Obama and she said that it's just shades of what is to come (Whatever that means), and that he hates the military, that he wants to cut their pay, do military budget cuts, immediately pull out of Iraq, she said his supporters are bad winners, that it wasn't a fair election, yadda yadda yadda.
What KILLS me is that in AUGUST she tells me that she hates BOTH candidates! And then all of the sudden she's a huge McCain supporter. She even changed her profile picture to one of McCain that said "A vote for McCain is a vote for the troops."
So basically everything she said was total bull****, and I told her very tactfully and gave her sources saying that she's misinformed, and rest assured, he isn't going to pull out of Iraq or cut pay, that he's pro--military, and she never responded.
And then she deleted her FB account and I just knew she was angry with me, and come a month later, she deleted me. I don't know why she wouldn't say anything, either. I think Dane Cook had a joke about people deleting old friends from their cell phones, and wonders if they "evaporate." I feel like I just evaporated :-(
I know we had our disagreements, but this is just too much. I wouldn't have ever considered not being friends with her because of who she voted for, or because of her support of the military (And FTR, my boyfriend was in the Army for 6 years so I'm no stranger to military relationships). And, I didn't even tell her I voted for Obama. I just said, "Look, these are his stances, and since he's our President, don't freak out."
I'm just really at a loss of words right now. This really sucks, especially since I've had very bad health problems and haven't been able to get a job for the past 6 months (and only now have prospects).
So, needless to say,
