i made a big decision this weekend. okay, it wasn’t a BIG one, but it took me a while to decide and i was proud of myself.
my girlfriend K had been planning an SATC movie event for a while. she’s got a crapload of girlfriends and after we all went to 27 Dresses and took up an entire row we decided to do it again for SATC. so the end of may finally came about and after all the emails over the past week it was decided to go to a 4pm sunday showing. then she asked if we wanted to do dinner and drinks. i don’t know any of the other girls personally besides her but i like thinking that maybe i could be in this group of girls too. at first i only wanted to do drinks, because i rather enjoy sitting around and doing nothing with M on the weekends. and saturday we had to go up to MD to see his nephews’ baseball games so it was kinda’ taxing. and then he made golf plans for sunday morning so if i did dinner with the girls it meant that i would only see M for an hour or so at lunch and then late at night before bed. but i decided to do it anyway. the opportunity doesn’t come along often so i wanted to hang out with a table full of girls and drinks. so K called me a little before i was to leave to get to the theater and she mentioned that she already saw the movie. um, what? you’ve been planning this sunday showing for weeks and you already went and saw it friday? wtf? when i got to the movies on sunday i realized why, almost no one else came out on sunday. apparently a ton of the girls couldn’t make it so they decided to go friday. and i guess some of us weren’t invited to go then. whatever, i let it go and didn’t worry about it. it’s not my group of friends so i wasn’t hurt just a little insulted.
then after the movie we were walking out to our cars and right when i was about to ask where we were going to eat she said “we should get together some time. we never see each other anymore. call me. bye.” wtf?? so i called M and let him know that i’d been blown off and was coming home for dinner. i was happy to do dinner with him but i was actually looking forward to dinner and drinks at that point so i was a little bummer too. oh well. this is why i don’t have a group of girlfriends. i can’t stand that crap. and i will not be calling to get together. i’ve heard that so many times from her and yet everytime i ask her if she wants to do something it’s “oh, i might have plans” so funk it.
and while i’m on the topic of flaky friends, i think i’ve already bitched about how i sent an email about doing lunch to MM and A back in the beginning of april and i never heard anything back. well i was surprised when i opened my email today to see a response from MM that say’s “how about friday?” like there haven’t been 2 months that have passed. what a schmuck. i’m so over it. i’m debating just waiting a few more months and replying “okay”.
~ today i learned… that facebook sorts your friends by alpha last name! i couldn’t figure this out all this time… and it finally clicked. i’m a little slow, i know. ~
