Tree apologized, this half-hearted apology about how she lashed out and thought and still thinks that I "stole" Carly Orlov's friendship from her, and I was stupid enough to accept it before saying to her how her bitchy comment about Logan was totally out of line. She claimed she "blanked" on who Logan was, as if there are so many Logans in Stoneybrook and the world at large and...okay, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard and how she even thinks anyone but herself could fall for it, but...I don't know, I suppose, in her head, she's convinced herself it's true. What am I going to do, throw a fit? If I am writing in my journal, I bet she writes in hers about how sanctimonious I am, how awful I am, how maligned she is...she'll throw herself a pity party all across her page about how I lectured her over something that she didn't deserve.

I told her that not everybody is out to get her. Maybe I was wrong: I think Tree's her own worst enemy, so...I guess...someone is out to get her. Just that it's herself.

I suppose I feel bad for her, in a way? Feel sorry for her? But considering how much she hates me, and now that I think about it, she never apologized or even explained that after knowing me her whole life and never saying a cross word, getting along, I am friendly with her boyfriend and have always been and...how in one month she treated me so awfully, so grossly out of proportion, how...

Why am I wasting my time and energy and words on someone like her?

Some people are just mean. Some people are just bitches.

And some of them are named Tree Daniels. It's fools like me who forget they exist in the world.
