Broken plans
My really good friend from back home makes me wonder how good of a friend she really is. A few weeks ago I check to see if there was a home game on my birthday and I found out there was and I called my friend and she said sure that sounds like fun. She said to tell her how much the tickets were and we would go. Maybe get a few other girls together and have a fun girls night out.
Last night I was on the phone with her and she mentions how she is going to the game that is 3 days after her boyfriends birthday and that she is taking him because her dad gave her free tickets. Her boyfriend and my birthday are 3 days apart. Yep. So if you can do simple math those tickets are for the day of my birthday. The day that we were supposed to go. She then she said "well see if you can buy tickets near our seats."
Because that is how I want to spend my birthday, tagging along with my friend and her boyfriend. It's bad enough that I have to spend holidays with people and thier spouses and boy/girl friends. I am not going to volunterly spend my birthday being reminded that Stephan is once again away. He wasn't here for my 25th and isn't going to be here for my 26th.
I understand that it's her boyfriend and that he is special to her but does that give her the right to completly blow me off when we already had plans made. Maybe if she had told me in a different way it wouldn't have been so bad. She had no idea that she had broken our plans and then told me withour realizing it. "Oh, yeah that's right sorry I forgot maybe we can go the next weekend. Oh wait that's your birthday I can never remember when anyones birthday is." That is almost exactly how she said it to me. I had been looking forward to that day since we made the plans.
