Would I be a doormat?

I reminded her the day before!

I don't think he was blaming you...

No, it's just that he agreed that I should remind her a couple days before, but I did, lol.

I think he was agreeing more with the effort part.

Yes, he was.

It's just hard for me to turn my back on friends...see, that's a remnant of my doormat past I need to reckon with. I'm bold and blunt with everyone...except friends and such.

Kas - I've been thinking and here's another way you could go. The next time she calls up wanting to do something just say this verbatim

"I would love to - just be aware that if you stand me up again I will come to your house and betchslap you upside your flakey-ass head"

What do you think? Too much?

I love that you said "betchslap" and not "bitchslap". Could I add in..."don't be a deck!" ?

Friends and such sometimes accuse me of being callous or distant or calculating...

Not at all. In fact, I'd say something like this:

"I'd come over and betchslap your flakey-ass head, but I'm doing something vastly more important. I'm counting my hairs. And, dammit, you made me lose count. Bye."

So...I should treat her like I do everyone else, lol.

She doesn't know the non doormat person, she knew the super nice person...I was trying to ease her into it, lol.
