drama

a lot has happened, though not to me.

my friends who are dating - i'll call the girl G and the boy A. on tuesday they got into a fight and A left. all day G was trying to talk to A, and that night she called me and told me what happened. we were on the phone for over an hour and she cried a bunch. i told her not to worry and that A would come home and they'd make up soon, and he did end up going home, but only for a minute to pick up his dog, and then he left again and G called back upset again.

wednesday G didn't have to work, so she and i spent the day together. we had lunch and met one of her friends, who i guess i'll call M. M just broke up with her girlfriend, so she's sad too. the reason M broke up with her girlfriend is that she suspected her girlfriend was cheating on her and went through her phone and then confronted her over i guess some suspicious texts or something. it was an odd conversation to me because i was firmly on the side of the girlfriend. frankly, M came off as kind of nuts. she read some of the texts between her and her girlfriend and some of the things she sent were like - "you've never even told me that you can't live without me" and all these accusations and stuff. she seems to be really jealous and possessive toward her partners and she described her girlfriend as outgoing and flirtatious and it just seems like a bad mix. she was nice to me, though, and she had a really cute dog.

after that G and i met up with my cool friend with the terrible boyfriend. we all had dessert together and that was lovely, and then we went to karaoke. we had to leave early because our friend had work and G was upset because people kept asking her where A was and why they weren't together. i took G home, we talked for a while, and then i went home too.

and then today G called and told me that A came to her house and appeared to be having some kind of breakdown. he was ranting and raving about all this stuff and accusing her of weird and nonsensical things. it all sounded very scary. after G told me about this, she said goodbye because she had to get back to work, but then she called a little while later because apparently she yelled at her boss. it seems that her boss is lousy at her job and G just snapped. luckily she didn't get fired and she was able to get a couple days off, and she has a job interview somewhere else tomorrow and her dad is helping her work on her resume.

it's weird but i don't find most of this very stressful. i feel sorry for G and i hope A ended up at a hospital or something and i hope M will break up with her girlfriend for good because that shit is destined to fail. but i feel oddly calm about everything. i think i'm good in crises as long as i'm not involved in them.

i've been thinking about what kinds of things i could do to help G. tomorrow i'm considering going by her house and bringing her tea and donuts or something nice like that to cheer her up. maybe i will offer to help her do stuff around the house or run errands for her or something. i don't know. i hope i can help a bit.
