Meg and I got shafted by an old friend. I was miffed and kind of sad later on, but when I called D to whine aboutit, he pretty much shrugged and asked me how I could be surprised, sinceit's a commonly-known fact that that's the way she is. Because I never expect certain people to actlike jerks no matter how many times they've done it in the past. D has a low tolerance for stupidity, and zero tolerance for repeatedstupidity. I suppose my feeling hurt over this particular exfriend wouldbe an example of repeated stupidity.
