was I expecting too much last night
no, i don't think I was. however, I was very disappointed with a few people, a couple actually at my own birthday celebration no less. I still feel I'm being too generous lately. Indeed, I love Karen, Mon and Troy; they are awesome awesome people and honestly made my night worth-while; Jordie tried hard to talk to all of us but from where she was sitting, it wasn't too easy in the end, Belinda and alice made the effort to come back and make up for the fact they couldn't talk as they were right at the other end of the table; Peter and Steve were good, but as for the others, ha, they didn't even bother trying, even to talk to me; how humiliated I felt at my own birthday. Even when I spoke to them, they'd give me a half-hearted smart-ass answer and then, actually go back to their -obviously-so-important private conversations. (obviously the previous "we're all good" msn chat that was had meant absolutely nothing).
I was pretty upset as I entered the restaurant as I'd mannaged to get myself and a few of them lost; however, they all said they understood this. i'd felt awful for it, and I even made the effort to go up to them to try and smooth things out, but apparently that wasn't good enough. They spoke among themselves the whole night; I tried. Just who invited you here anyway? .. um .. It was totally as if they were just there for any old get together, never mind that it was actually mine. They showed nothing for it at all; just an excuse to come out and catch up with each other and get a bit wasted.
I guess when I say "close nit" celebration, I need to be more careful. There's no excuse for how I was treated.
However, in other news, jordina encouraged me to try a margarita, I mannaged half of it but gave the rest to her. It was nice except for the alcohol which I can taste in everything. And now because my body aint use to it, my headache is back; oh dear.
She was over here yesterday before the restaurant and we had heaps of fun. gave her the USB drive and we were both spending a while trying to figure out the WD smart essentials softwear that had us in a spot of bother for a while, but even I mannaged to get mine done; I guess it's pretty cool in a way as you're able to password protect the drive, but we both are going to get to disabling it cos we don't want to install it with every computer we plug it intoo. ah well. It was good to catch up with her.
So despite most of my day and most of the people being a lot of fun, because of the couple that really disappointed and upset me, I feel I need to arrange a catchup with Mon and Kaz this week if they are up for it; they cheer me up. Ah, I got a JB voutcher from them, and like a kilo worth of cadbury roses; seriously; I'd never received so much chocolate before in one package; it's going to take a while even for me to get through it! --
