I am not really sure what to do. I went out tonight with some mates and it was horrible. I won't go into it but let's just say I would have been anywhere but there. One of my mates was the d.d. (designated driver) of the night and another mate was drinking. It was getting late and the d.d. was miserable so I reminded my friend that both the d.d. and I have church in the morning so we should think about leaving soonish (it was 11pm and our church is at 8:20am).
Anyway my friend just laughed at me which did not go down well at all and then basically said it was the end of our friendship, that I was taking sides with the d.d. (she thought that we were having fun so she was ignoring the d.d.), she would get a lift with someone else and that is it. Shocked I gave her back her things (they were in my bag) and left with the d.d. Of course this happened in front of the group of mates so most of them now know about all the drama so I am not only confused, upset, angry but embarassed.
So I am sitting here wondering where everything went wrong. My mate obviosly had the wrong impression of me and I am wondering who else has the wrong impression of me. She obviously doesn't see me as a Christian rather as a party girl (though we have had a run in about this before and she knows I go out rarely as bedtime for me is about 10:00ish). We are all work mates (I teach her son) so there is no hiding and Dili is not big enough anyway. We have been friends for nearly a year and a half now.
I am sorry for the vent/rant. I am not sure what I want right now other than a one way ticket out of here. I guess I will just have to pray through it all again. Nothing in Dili has been easy this term and judging by tonight, it is not going to get easier.
