Shaking off the towel.

Three ways to avoid someone who you don't want to be friends with anymore:

1. The Graduate. Either you or the person you don't care about anymore can be the graduate, but make sure that you don't try and contact them and ignore whatever form of contact they try with you. It's really effective, because you never have to see them again. Of course, once you do this, there's no going back, because the person who you ignore will start thinking you're a fucking asshole.

2. The Busy Body. Pretend you want to stay friends but plan a lot of things with other people so you "can't" do anything with them. Or, just pretend like you have plans. That always works, too.

3. The Traveler. Move to another city.

I'm done. Really. I'm shaking off the towel that I so desperately tried to stay on so I didn't have to sit in the sand. But I want you to know that I'm not going inside, yet. I'm going somewhere better than this mess of sand and salt.

PS, Alee, this is not about you.
