When I have no one to talk to, I hit send.
After the long drive home from Mids. yesterday, I was sad about placing so low in my skating competition. Of course, my friend got the silver medal, so she qualifies (yet again) for the Championship round at Adult Nats. in Lake Placid next month. I had no one to talk to on the phone--I could only leave a message--so I got so depressed that I sent my friend an email which said:

>Bottom-of-the-barrel/double-digit placement is a
> >lonely place to be, but you wouldn't know a whole
> lot
> >about that, would you?

And she replied by saying:

Wow, Dana, this is a very nasty email to send to
> someone who has worked so hard to support you, to
> include you, and to be your friend.
>
> I can only assume that you have no concept how
> personally hurtful and insensitive it is to diminish
> my accomplishments and to say these things about me.

If she never talks to me again, I will have made my own bed and slept in it. :cry:

2. Give yourself a break Dana. We've all said things that we wish we didn't
I bet a simple apology would fix it.
