So I have a group of three high school girlfriends. We are a tightknit crew. We don't get to all be in the same place at the same time very often. It is complicated as adults.
Once in a while, it will so happen that the three of them will get together without me for whatever reason. It mostly ends up that I am invited but cannot make it. Said incident is happening right now.
Whenever this happens, I always say the exact same thing to them:
Please don't talk about me too much.
It is a half-joking sentiment - A) because I know, if anything, this has encouraged the opposite and 2) because I know there really is no way to stop it.
I don't think this group of friends is particularly gossipy, especially not in comparison to other girl groups I have experienced in life. I feel all women are like this. And, truth be told, as much as I don't like to think I'm being gossiped about, it really has little to no impact on my life. That, and let's be honest, I am not interesting enough to be gossiped about. I hope to one day be exciting enough to be featured on perez hilton. Even if if it's in a bad light. There's no such thing as bad publicity.
Anyhow. I digress. Does anyone else feel the same way at times? Does anyone else ask her girlfriends, or anyone in general, not to talk about her? Does anyone know of a group of girls that doesn't occasionally gossip about whoever is not there? Can they possibly be any fun at all?! Do any women not gossip? Your thoughts?

Don't worry. We didn't talk about you too much.
Really, we didn't... only the good stuff :) It is hard to catch up with you when you aren't there, so then someone else has to fill us in!
