Yesterday was an interesting day for my Facebook friends.

Status Update 1: I think I’d better go back to bed and try again tomorrow.

Status Update 2: Oh, and also? Women suck. I am, apparently, in the angry phase. Ugh. Did I say women suck? No? Well, then … women suck. /rant.

Status Update 3: I am now officially done with my Full Femme Fit. You can all breathe a sigh of relief now.

On Twitter it was worse, but I won’t share all of *those*. I have about 6-freaking-thousand tweets (yes, seriously) so clearly I’m chatty.

And know what? Women sorta do suck. Except when they don’t.

My friends? My friends, almost all of whom are women, are awesome.

One friend, L, sent me a few great text messages post-dumping. Mostly to cheer me up & tell me SHH did not deserve me. Which is fully true, of course.

A reasonably new pal, J, called me literally seconds after I’d had a not-great moment and talked to me, e-introducing me to a friend of hers. It was absolutely perfect timing.

Last night, a woman I have been friends with for 15 years, but haven’t really talked to for about a year, sent me a text message that made me laugh. She wrote “I’m a total whore. I can’t believe it’s been so long since we talked. I sent you an email explaining. I love u!” It was the “I’m a total whore” part that cracked me up.

Then today, I was looking at text messages from my BFF. She sent me all the expected sweet friend sentiments. I was clearly, clearly bitter. She wrote me a looonnnggg text about “You’re wonderful, FFG, and SHH has lots going on & blah blah blah.” My response: “Yeah. + she sucks.” For whatever reason, when I read that today, it cracked me up.

I should amend the Women Suck FB status update. “That woman sucks.” Except, the fact is, she doesn’t. She’s a lot of things: funny, smart, out of control, a pain in the ass (to say the least), a wildass and in love with someone else. That doesn’t mean she sucks. It just means she isn’t the woman for me.

So, if I’m fully honest, here’s what I should say: “Well, things got away from me. I had stronger emotions than I was expecting and *that* wigged me out. Then, SHH wanted to break up with me which wasn’t fun. I had stronger emotions about THAT than I was expecting, which also wigged me out. Then, I got stuck in it for a minute. But now I’m better.”

And, know what? I am.
