now, this is what you get a livejournal for...
when you need to vent but cant because everyone you know are the people that make you need to vent =( see, i wanted to have a memorial day party. sun and fun and drunken canoeing and camping at Wekiva. I invited every friend i've made in Gainesville. Every single one of them. I invited them a month ago. so i figure, at least some of them will show up, right? ok, teresa is in Miami. fair enough. and rick has to get packing, but if i come help him on monday, he can at least come for saturday and leave early sunday. or so he said. and alexa was totally into it. one of my TAs decides to put off work to come, and the other is all for it. brook probably wont make it, but she actually told me that, so i cant fault her either. but then alexa e-mails to say her job decided to make her work, and they couldnt be bothered to tell her until 4 days before the meet, but she still feels obligated to be there. so one down. and then rick e-mails the night before everyone is supposed to be there, and i wake up to find out he wont be coming either, because even though he's known all month that he's supposed to come, he hasn't packed a thing, and really needs all weekend. so the only two people coming form gainesville are my goddamned teaching assistants. but jonathan, looking at all the work he was going to put off, doesnt think it's worth it to come on down for just the two of them. and dan, who would have come down for two, cant bring himself to come down for one. so tonight, i'm going to be warming the lasagnas and making the garlic bread and frying the ravioli but there wont be anybody here to eat it. not to mention the entire fridge full of beer i've got but cant drink because it tastes like ass. but, jason and jen, thank god, are still coming, and will be here tonight at 11 or so. hopefully they will not be offended should i be drunk when they arrive. they want to bring yurani, but i honestly wanted to spend time with my friends, and i dont know her well enough to be comfortable. but apparently, anyone who knows me well enough for me to call them a friend doesnt want to spend any time with me anyway
