As it happens, S*die sent me a nice email this evening, possibly in response to the veiled nastiness that was last night, and definitely in response to an email I sent her not long ago when she seemed to be down about herself, highlighting why I thought she was a pretty darned special person. It would have been easier to swallow if last night didn't happen, but we just aren't the friends we were, so I'm having trouble on the receiving end.
