what a good friend does

so i was relaying the many stories of last weekend to my friends here, and it made me think about my friends. the friends i have left in wisconsin. all of them i love to death, but i want to strangle a few of them sometimes as well. and it makes me wonder where the boundaries between normal ups and downs of a friendship are and when you are holding on to something that maybe has expired. if a friend walks around a bar while she's wasted telling all the guys that they should sleep with me, that i see as forgivable, only because in her drunken state of mind it was coming from a good place. she was doing me a "favor". even if this favor got me leered at and a random guy tried to make out with me before even talking to me. she was trying to be a good friend. but when a friend tells a group of friends and aquaintances that i slept with a guy who has a fiance, i then correct her an say that i didn't know at the time, and she fires back, something about me cheating with someone else who was proposing, all of which is twisted and distorted, not true, and only said to make her feel better about herself andwhat was being joked about at the table. and is it really necessary to bring up other people's business in front of people we don't know that well? i live my life without regrets, so i shouldn't have to bear the brunt of other people's.
