Regina Sucks
On of the great things about nobody reading my blog is that I can rant without offending anyone. What is happening to people? In the last 2 weeks, I have been twice invited out to O'Hanlons for some sort of group thing, and both times I'm told everyone is showing up at 10, and both times I've shown up after 10 after 10, which I do so I'm not too early and left sitting around waiting. A, low and behold, 10 minutes late is not good enough. The first time, not a single person showed up until after 11! What the fuck is that? And if I hadn't passed the people on the street after I left, I would have just assumed I was stood up. I may have seemed like a drama queen, but I went home anyways. Sitting around by myself for an hour makes me not want to socialize anymore, so I went home and read. So, tonight, same exact thing, different people. The only think that changed this week was that I said "Fuck it", and went home at 10:30. It's damn rude, and I'm sick of people, and I could care less if they think I'm a dick. Besides, Jim Carrey is on SNL, and I'll probably enjoy that a hell of a lot more than O'Hanlons, which has become overpriced and shitty anyways.

I'd have gone home too! bastards. well, I might have gone home. it depends. it would depend on who it was, and it would depend on how furious I was.
ReplyDeletea couple of weeks ago I had a plan to go sledding with one friend, M, and two others had said ya probably (T&D). another said likely (P). of the five of us, I was the only person with any sort of sliding device. so, M went and bought one. M and I only just met a little while ago, so we don't know each other well. we decided that since T&D were coming too and maybe P, this would be fun. P didn't have a sliding device and he'd spent all day skiing, so he was just going to bring cardboard and maybe go. no big deal.
T&D didn't have anything to go on either, but were still probably coming, which was good because it didn't seem like M wanted to go if it was just three of us (one of which was probably just coming to hang out and take pics). T&D spent all day playing video games (I presume) and then at 5 texted me to see if I had a sled.
no, I just have one crazy carpet. I replied, as I had the night before, that crazy carpets are stupid cheap.
they replied they are broke. I replied that they are $2.99. they replied no really, they are dead broke. they also said, as they had the night before, that they were gathering together some cardboard and poly wrap.
then they replied actually no, they have poly wrap but no cardboard. they wanted to know if I had any cardboard.
I said no. I said they should scavenge their back alley (this was between Xmas and NYE; would have been tons). I also suggested they could go to a grocery store.
in the meantime I'm irritated because it's now 6pm and we're supposed to go at 7pm AND they had all day to figure this out while I was at work. problem solving, people!!
finally they said oh, they weren't going to go. which meant the whole thing got cancelled because sheesh, M and P and I weren't really enough for fun times.
then they asked if I wanted to come over and play Xbox Kinect with them. NO! hell no!! the last thing I wanted to be was sociable at that point, and certainly not with them. I love them, T is one of my best friends and is like family, but argh. too irritated.
eventually I decided to go to Chapters and buy my book on Cuba and I ended up having an awesome time by myself, as you might have read on Twitter.
was this story unnecessarily long? yes. was the whole "please let us text you and make you figure our crap out" experience unnecessarily long? YES!!
also I'm a creep and reading your blog now. I hope that means we can still be friends now that I'm an uber creeper.
Yeah, I get that one a lot. Over the summer, it seemed like I made plans every weekend to go swimming, and every time the people I made plans with backed out an hour or so before I was supposed to go. So I never got to go swimming, all summer.
