My EX-Friends, 1-10
In typical Juicy fashion, I decided to reveal even more of the most personal parts of my life (it's amazing there's still more, isn't it?) and talk about ex-friends. BUT, I said to myself "hey, that's boring, what can I do to keep the average, voyeuristic reader of The Juicy Cerebellum interested?" I pondered this question for minutes before coming up with this brilliant 1-10 scale. Where else are you gonna find 1-10 ratings on people? Especially EX-people.
Due to the fact that some of these friendships ended on (oh, surprise) unfriendly terms, I decided to be fair and give each ex-friend two seperate 1-10 ratings. One at their best, and one at their worst. We all have our highs and our lows, so I figured, "if I exploit both, I'll be sure to get a laugh!"
Still, I thought a 1-10 rating may not be enough. So, I decided to tell you all why each friend became an EX-friend. Hey, if you don't like it, don't read it, and remember, if it's not personal, it just ain't Juicy!
Note: There are no ex-girlfriends in here . . . they deserve a special section of their very own. Also, some of the names have been changed to protect the idiots.
Jiff
1-10 AT HIS BEST: 10. Why? One of the biggest smart-asses around.
If he didn't like you, trust me, you knew it.
1-10 AT HIS WORST: 1. Why? One of the biggest smart-asses around. If he didn't like you, trust me, you knew it.
HOW LONG WERE WE FRIENDS: 8 years.
WHY WE STOPPED BEING FRIENDS: Got into a fight over the t.v. show, "My So Called Life."
Mascara
1-10 AT HER BEST: 5. Why? She was okay.
1-10 AT HER WORST: 3. Why? She didn't so much have a personality, as much as she emulated one.
HOW LONG WERE WE FRIENDS: 6 months.
WHY WE STOPPED BEING FRIENDS: She had a really possessive boyfriend.
Mutt
1-10 AT HIS BEST: 8. Why? He really believed in his
causes, once he found someone to teach him what causes to
believe.
1-10 AT HIS WORST: 1. Why? Like so many other "liberal-until-I-leave-college" "liberals," he was hypocritical, unfair, and changed his beliefs as often as, well - a "liberal-until-I-leave-college" "liberal." I do wish him a prosperous life of becoming what he hates.
HOW LONG WERE WE FRIENDS: 1 year.
WHY WE STOPPED BEING FRIENDS: He was very easily brainwashed, his girlfriend was very manipulative. Not a winning combination.
Mark
1-10 AT HIS BEST: 10. Why? If you think this page is
insane . . .
1-10 AT HIS WORST: 7. Why? He tended to hang with whatever crowd seemed to be "hippest."
HOW LONG WERE WE FRIENDS: 4 years.
WHY WE STOPPED BEING FRIENDS: He died.
Kat
1-10 AT HER BEST: 4. Why? The word
"egotist" mean anything to you?
1-10 AT HER WORST: 2. Why? The word "egotist" mean anything to you?
HOW LONG WERE WE FRIENDS: 2 years (although I don't know why).
WHY WE STOPPED BEING FRIENDS: The word "egotist" mean anything to you?
Yvette
1-10 AT HER BEST: 8. Why? She was pretty cool, when
you actually got to see her, but she was always
canceling plans.
1-10 AT HER WORST: 4. Why? I hear she's writing a book called "Yvette's Excuses."
HOW LONG WERE WE FRIENDS: 2 years.
WHY WE STOPPED BEING FRIENDS: Actually, I'm still waiting for her to show up. She said she'd be here around 7.
Maniell
1-10 AT HER BEST: 1. Why? An expert at telling
everyone just what they wanted to hear. The only thing is, once I
figured her out, I didn't want to hear it.
1-10 AT HER WORST: 1. Why? She lies, cheats, manipulates, breaks up friendships, and has a real ugly butt. Oh, how can I forget, she does this all while calling herself "Christian."
HOW LONG WERE WE FRIENDS: Too fucking long.
WHY WE STOPPED BEING FRIENDS: I couldn't bare to stare at the crucifix that dangled over her heart, as I heard all the crap that flowed from her mouth.
Josh
1-10 AT HIS BEST: 10. Why? He was funny, friendly
and farted a lot.
1-10 AT HIS WORST: 9. Why? Farts can sometimes smell pretty bad.
HOW LONG WERE WE FRIENDS: 13 years.
WHY WE STOPPED BEING FRIENDS: He died.
I figure farting and death is a good ending. There's lots of other ex-friends out there, somewhere, and I extend a sincere apology to anyone I forgot. Send me an email, and I'll make sure to put you down in some other article, when I get the chance.
