Wish That Didn't Happen...

Awkward situations----suck.
So I'm at a girls cocktail party at my friends house and somehow amidst conversation my old-roommate situation was brought up.
My friend had asked if I missed my old apartment and I said yeah cuz it was a nice apartment. Mid-convo I realize that this might get messy if we continue to talke about my old apartment because I didn't like my old roomate and one of her friends was standing right there listening to my conversation.
But ofcourse, within a few minutes my friend decided to ask, "and who was the girl that was really mean?" As the friend is looking up at me with a smirk on her face I know I am trapped. There's no way to act like I don't know what my friends talking about...there's no way to get around the issue and be like no I loved all of them, what do you mean? So I took a big swallow and quickly moved over the issue saying, "oh she wasn't mean, we just butt head sometimes because of our strong personalities" and then I proceeded to say,"but this summer I realized that I loved her". HUH? WHaaaa? That was not only true, but sounded totally not believable.
The friend turned around and I looked at my friend with the big hand through my throat kinda thing like, shut up I'm gonna rip your vocal chords out kinda thing.

So yeah, the damage is already done. I'm sure the friend will tell my ex-roomate and then ya know, that can just be really awkward. I still have to go to my old apartment to pick up some stuff, so I really don't wanna have to deal with this drama. Was the ex-roomie mean? Yes. Sometimes unbearable to live with? Yes. But we also had an understanding at sometimes and I can respect her in the fact that she had to put up with a lot of crap and everything in that apartment got done because of her. So here's to hoping her friend doesn't remember.
I should have spiked her mojito.
