Insert Evil Laugh Here

We all have that one friend who is, shall we say, larger than life (read: mildly delusional), but for the most part these people tend to contain their crazy relatively well and end up being rather innocuous. Not so with one of my classmates. I'm going to call her Cinderella, mostly because that's how she appears to view her own life/love life. Cinderella, some friends of mine and I all took a class together this summer. At first, we got conned into feeling a little bad for her, because she seemed sweet, and personable, and kind of lonely. That's how they get you. You get sucked in by pity and basic human decency, and then woe unto you. The succubus hiding just under the surface reared its ugly, demonic head. We have since watched her actively, and vindictively, torch every close friendship she had on this geographic side of the tectonic plate. Not only that, but she has gotten engaged to a guy, whom I'll call Charming (as she does, no joke), after spending less than a month in the same country as him. Mildly ridiculous? Even ludicrous, you say? I agree wholeheartedly. But a pox upon you if you try to explain the extreme and rather egregious gap in logic to Cinderella. People have gotten themselves axed from her bridal party for that. To top everything off, she has a wedding site, which I understand is a thing nowadays, in the age of the internets. However, she clearly wrote the whole thing. She should not have done that. It's already on the verge of going viral through our law school class in a non-complimentary way, and got itself submitted to reddit (my guess is on the WTF sub-reddit).

To hear her tell the story of hers and Charming's first meeting, it was all rainbows, glitter, butterflies and a hallelujah chorus signifying love at first sight. NOT ACCURATE. Also, that doesn't happen outside of Disney princess movies. Anyone who knows people or is in a functional relationship knows that. But, god, it is fun watching this train-wreck happen in very slow motion. At first I really did feel bad for her. I thought someone should help her, guide her, offer advice maybe. It's gone past the ridiculous though. Way past. Also, it's gone into a galaxy beyond that of logic (obviously, in Star Trek, she would not be Vulcan)...so....I give. It's just fucking funny at this point.
