[As the song fades out]

I have a friend. Yes, it might surprise all three of you listeners to know. And this friend is angry at me -- fair enough. I think that it's something everyone has experienced at least once. And I'm almost sorry, or I might be, but then this guy -- let's call him Curly -- goes around my back to a bunch of people that I know.

This is a song for you, Curly.

[Everybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat/It's cool for cats]

Ah, oops. That's the wrong one. Let's try that again.

[Mighta had a little fun/Lotta wrong I'd done/But it ain't my fault].

In all seriousness, people have to take responsibility for their own bullshit. That's not really possible without confrontation.

Have you ever hurt someone? Been passive aggressive? Wanted to deck someone else for being passive aggressive?

How do you apologize and tell the other person they're being a dick at the same time? Open to advice and comments -- anonymous is enabled.

[Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking/When I said I'd like to smash every tooth/In your head]

Metaphorical smashes only, sweetness.

[Baby I'm sorry/Not sorry]

Okay, I knew that I was going to have to play that one. Time for some recovery.

What would you do?

It's probably one of the most difficult things to do. Friendship can be as shallow as a pond or as deep as an ocean. It's your gamble on how far you want to go...If you believe you've both wronged each other over a situation then you should apologize. In turn, they should but they might not. It's just how it is.

I would tell them that I felt wronged with their actions either way and then tell them that we should get some Ramen. You were a dick but a still love you? :)

Here's a message from...Sailor Moon, on friendship. [Reads aloud]

Yeah -- I don't really want an apology from him though. He knows that I think he's a dick always regardless.
