the meetup last night was fun. i think a smaller crowd is better for such things, fewer conversations to keep track of and more chances to interact with everyone present. no one said anything about it, but i couldn’t help but notice that paul and i had the same outfit on. we didn’t even plan it that way. we must be psychically linked.
eric is much nicer in person than on his site (unless you catch him on his “nice day”) and i finally got to meet the elusive devon, who is both exactly like and completely different from what i had her imagined to be.
otherwise, i’m completely pissed off at all my friends right now. i’m annoyed that no one seems to be willing to go out of their way for me, while in a similar situation i’d be more than happy to sacrifice something to join in. i vented to jeremy about being too accomodating and he made a comment that maybe being more indicitive of the people i have as friends than a flaw in myself. i’d like to believe that’s true, but is it mathmatically possible that all the people who become my friends are all selfish bastards? i don’t think so. besides, along with being too accomodating, i’m also too willing to blame myself for things which really aren’t in my control.
so, tonight i will be going to see great big sea alone with the tickets i bought for meghan’s birthday present. i’m trying to put the people shit out of my mind so that i can just enjoy the show. i’m fairly confident that this foul humour will pass as soon as i hear the first fiddle bowed.
addendum: if you read this and i asked you to go to the concert and you said no, for whatever reason, this isn’t a dig. i’m more pissed off at meghan and karen than you guys as i had them informed and invited months and/or weeks ago.
I’m a real sweetheart. Really I am.
nice to know ya’ll had fun. hopefully i’ll be able to go next time (i had class – sigh).
on the friends/solo concert thing – hey, at least you went. yeah – i know that’s a lame thing to say, but it’s better then nothing right?
Hmm. Don’t forget those stupid friends who do dumb things like live on the other side of the continent. ;) Hope it’s a great concert! And if not, you can take a nap across the seats! :)
how am i like and different than you expected?! i am curious now! :)
have fun sweetie…sorry i couldn’t make it!
can i be your friend?
i can’t help but go out of my way, as you’re on the north shore and i’m in surrey…
