okay so my best friend moved about 3 years ago but were still THE BEST of friends maybe even closer. Normally i call her everyday after school. Then when finals came up i didn't have much time to call her, and she got pretty mad about it And now that its summer i'm always out so i call her sometimes but most of the time she doesn't answer. Then about a week ago i dropped my phone in the pool and it doesn't work and she got a new number that i don't have memorized. So i left her a message on myspace telling her what happened (cause that the only way i could get a hold of her) then today she flipped out cause she hasn't talk to me in a week. It just makes me really mad that she gets mad at me for that. It wasn't like she was picking up the phone calling me, she never does. what should i do?
Additional info, added Tuesday June 19 2007, 3:40 pm: oh and i know she got the message becase it said she read it.. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?

I mean c'mon she should understand how hard it is to keep home life under control let alone keep in touch with friends 57356 miles away. Tell her she can't expect you to live for her becasue you have other friends and things. And not in a harsh way becasue you are sure she does too. But tell her you're trying your hardest and if that isnt good enough what would be? Because she can't expect you to skip out on your life jsut to please her.

You called as much as you could. It's your summer too you know. You don't always have to be talking to her & she should realize that. A lot of people would not have done that in the first place. Explain that you tried your best but you have your own busy schedule & she could try talking to you as well. You left her know what happened about your phone & that's all you could have done. Let her decide from now on. If she wants to be your friend, she'll have to stop being mad & make an effort to talk to you instead. That way you both are making an effort.
