Good Times, Bad Times
ONLY 3 MORE DAYS UNTIL THE AUTHOR AUCTION AT www.supportstacie.net! PLEASE COME OUT AND BID ON ME TO HELP truelovepooh GET A LITTLE CLOSER TO HER GOAL!!!
I will do my best to make this short and sweet. Septemberfest was this weekend in Schaumburg, as it has been every year for the last 40 years. I have attended this festival since my Grandparents moved to Schaumburg back in 1986, so this would be my 23rd year of attending. I love this weekend. Granted, it meant something different to me as a child than it does to me now, but it's still one of my favorite things to do. I know precisely where I am going to be for Labor Day weekend, and I wouldn't have it any other way. The plan was to meet up with some friends last night to watch the fireworks because I am a geek for fireworks. Then again, I don't know anyone who isn't. There is so much to do at the fest! It's just crazy.
Anyway...a big group of us were supposed to go, but at the last minute my bff dropped out because she just got back from a long roadtrip with her honey, and she came back pretty broke. I understand why she couldn't (or didn't want to) go. She needs her rest, and to save whatever money she has left until she gets paid. I'm totally cool with that, and I completely understand. What I don't understand is who all but one of my friends ended up ditching me because my bff wasn't there. These people are my friends too, or so I thought, and without even bothering to call/text/email/facebook/myspace me, they just ditched me. That's pretty lame.
I had a great time without them, but it's not really the point. I was just a little pissed off that they didn't show. When people do things like that it really makes you reconsider the state of your friendship, and whether or not you're really friends. And to make matters worse, not a single one of them attempted to contact me today about it either. I know it's not really worth being upset over, and for the most part, I'm not. It's just given me a lot to think about.
And people wonder why I sometimes say I'd like to drop out of society and just live in a cabin in the woods in the middle of nowhere....
Oh, and for anyone else who is as hooked on True Blood as I am, I just have to say that I have tried to hold out (much the way Sookie has) on succumbing to the hottness of one Mr. Eric Northman. My knees are buckling, people! I am starting to ship Eric & Sookie in a major way.
Have no fear, my Leyton fans, I am not abandoning you. I am just making room in my life for another ship. If you haven't seen True Blood, you are seriously missing out. And the best part? None of the vampires on that show sparkle! Suck it, Twilight!
