AUGH!
Are people out there to eternally upset me? My "friend" (notice the quotations) is in town for the first time in 20,000 years, and we have made tentative plans for a week. It finally sounded like tonight was the night that we would finally meet up.
*** Earlier today ***
Me: Do you want to go to this party?
"Friend": Sure, yeah, great. Let's meet up for dinner first. 8ish.
Me: Yay!
*** Fast forward to about an hour before I plan to leave ***
My cell phone: Do do do do do do do doooooo (it's actually to the tune of In My Life)
Me: Hello?
"Friend": Yeah, I can't make it. I'm out with friends-er something came up. Let's do lunch tomorrow.
Me: (with a forced smile, which was silly because I was on the phone) Sure, yeah, okay.
I am super disappointed and a little curious. If you are ditching my because of family stuff, why are you out with your friends? Hmmmm . . . a little fishy if you ask me. WHy not just say, "I don't want to go tonight. You are not cool and I am embarrassed to be seen with you."
Honesty is the best policy. Which I guess is stupid of me to say if I wasn't honest, but . . . well, for some reason, that's okay.
So I give up and have no plans to meet anywhere for lunch tomorrow (but I will probably start feeling super guilty and change my mind and go).
I wish I had a best friend. Looking back, I never really had one. It would be nice to have someone to hang out with and count on and trust. Sigh.
