As usual. I had all these plans for tonight, friends, a party, lots to do and now I can't get a hold of a single one of the people I was supposed to be hanging out with tonight.
I'm so tired of planning things and counting on others just to have the rug pulled out from under me. Grrrrr. Is the whole world like this? Can I really count on no one? Ever? Sigh.

So sorry Tina.
That is HORRIBLE. I've had lots of chances to 'empathize' about that with my son!!
And of course I do 'empathizing' wrong....instead of sorta sensing how it might feel - I FEEL how I'd FEEL if that happened to me.
So sorry Tina, that really sucks & must feel awful.
luv ya, Kath & crumb, do I wish we were closer.

We haven't lived close Phillipa, but have met 2 times.
But I would love to live close to Tina & to numerous other 'babblers'.
hugs, Kath

Not to be a downer, but the sheer suckiness of people in general is why I'm such a loner, but I can't say seclusion is exactly the best solution. If possible, you should go to the party without the undependable friends. It may make you feel better and show your friends that you aren't to be taken for granted. I've done that sort of thing before and have been very happy I did. Don't let other people keep you from doing what you want, you know?

That's exactly what I did TC. I went out last night without any of them and I actually met up with a couple of people I knew and had a really good time! I was really nervous walking in there alone and just looking so out of place but after about 15 minutes, a friend of my brother's spotted me and introduced me to the people he was with. I hung out until almost 1am chatting and listening to a pretty good live band! I'm patting myself on the back for having the courage to actually do that last night. Maybe I'll do it again sometime. NOt soon though. My ears are still ringing from the noise! LOL.
PS. I do with we lived closer Kath. I'm considering moving down to Oshawa so maybe we will be closer soon. ;o)))

Tina- that's wonderful that you went!!! I wouldn't have the courage to do that, I don't think.
I'm so happy that you had a good time!!!!!
And if you move to Oshawa that'd be great. It would be within 'feasible' distance to visit.
Although I doubt if it would be as interesting as the area where you are now, but I've never been to Oshawa so I don't know.
I send hugs, Kath

That's awesome! As shy and anxious as I can be, I've done that a couple of times before too, and I was always glad I did (even though I was sure I would have a heart attack right at first!). Of course you should always be safe, don't put yourself in a scary situation. Trust your instincts, never take an open drink from people you don't know REALLY well, and let someone know if you're headed off somewhere by yourself so you can check in at a specified time. Its not that difficult these days with cell phones and text messaging. You can never be too safe!!
