FOUND IT!!
Posted on 7/3/06 to my other blog about my weight loss, rather than to this one:
I have learned a valuable lesson this week - RL and online friendships don't mix.I was asked by my friend to take her pregnancy photos - I agreed and told her that she will need to tell me when she wants them done because on the pregnant woman can decide that :) But I called her once a week for the past three weeks to tell her to let me know when she wants to do something. Well......she never called. I assumed she didn't want me taking them or she didn't want them, which I was totally okay with. I didn't even mind that she might have been considering someone else to take the photos, as well, that's a persons choice.I thought i was close to this person, or at least close enough that if she was going to publically (on a message board) take another photographer up on an offer to take photos I thought she would have at least told me first - that she didn't want to use me.I am very hurt. I read online that she wnated her to do them, and then today she posted them. I am so sad right now. You don't ask someone to do something for you and then not contact them and go use someone else in an online forum where I can read it. I would have thought she would have just at least told me that she didn't want to use me. I know, to some this may seem petty, and i am not upset about the photography, as I think the person that did her photos a) is an amazing photographer and b) took GREAT shots of her, but I am upset that I had to find out about this online and not in person or over the phone or hell, even in an IM.My heart is heavy. And then whilst at my parents cabin this weekend, got me thinking.....are there really that good of friends out there anymore? I know I have my faults, but can you really meet people online and have great relationships with them? I am not a 100% online person, I like the occassional phone call and outing and not just sitting online on IM all day talking with someone. This entire thing is 1/2 my fault, but I am so sad now, and when things like this happen, I just want to curl up in a ball and cry.
