2-for-1. 2 Entries for the price of 1.
OK, let’s start with the bitchy entry. A few days ago, it was my ex-boyfriend’s 24th birthday. Now, we’ve been friends for 20 years. We did everything together, and we trusted each other, and a few months ago, our relationship became strained to the point where stuff happened that almost tore us apart forever. We recently reconciled and began to rebuild our friendship. Everything was going great....until today! I found out that he, and a group of our friends, were going bowling for his birthday tonight. He invited our friends.....except me. I had to find out on Bebo, from one of friends, that they were going bowling. So, why didn’t he invite me? Every birthday party I’ve had, he’s been invited to. In fact, he even hosted my 21st birthday party at his apartment - yet, he doesn’t invite me to his party. I’m not upset, I’m not offended. If he had asked me, I would’ve said yes. By not asking me, what does that do to our friendship, which was on the mend? I’ll leave it at that. I won’t say anything to him about it.....or should I?
OK, now for the happy entry :) I’ve been preparing for my first plane trip ever!!!!! Where am I going? Portland, Oregon USA. I’m going to see a very dear friend of mine. Now, having never been on a plane before, I admit, I’m a little nervous.....actually, I’m terrified lol. I hate heights, the thought of being thousands of miles in the air doesn’t appeal to me, but I’m going do it. My passport application has finally been accepted, and I should have it very soon. I’ve got a lot of planning to do before I take this trip. I’m terrible at planning; I always leave things to the last minute. It’s been my dream for many years, to go to America, and I can’t believe that dream is finally going to come true. My mother still worries about me, even at my age, and she isn’t exactly thrilled with me going to another part of the world on my own. She wants me to be safe, and I’ve told her that I’ll be OK. But how can I assure her that I’ll be OK? I know I’m ready, but is my Mom ready to let me go off on my own?
