i did not want to do anything on friday night. i was exhausted. i felt crappy. i have had a cold for 3 weeks now, and just when i thought i was feeling better it morphed from being a chest cold into a full on head cold. i slept for 2 hours when i got home from school, called alex and told me all i wanted was to stay in. he tells me he already arranged for us to go to a movie with joey & melissa, chris & candace. fine. i'll go. pick alex up and we head to the theatre. place 2 calls on the way there, 1 to chris who tells alex they are not coming. great. fucking great. another to joey who says they are not coming because no one got back to him (chris was supposed to). we are about 2 blocks from the theatre. inconsiderate bastards. we went to alex's and watched Collateral. i fell asleep an hour in, at 11:30 and woke up at the end and drove home. so, i got what i wanted, a night in. but that's not the point.
saturday night, planned to play pool with alex. he called some people, no one really wanted to go except trent who was really pumped for it. we were going to pick him up and then go to High Run, so we call him as we are leaving... 3 times, and no answer. trent bailed too! of all people! the world has an extreme lack of social graces these days! with all the technology designed to communicate, no one plans a thing until the last minute. and then people bail last minute too, which is inconsiderate enough, but then push it even further by not using said technology to let others know.
i thought it was only alex's friends who are so flip-flop and rude when it comes to planning, but no. i emailed sean earlier this week and he suggested we get together on the weekend. so i phoned him friday to try and set something up and left a message on his machine. he has yet to call back.
cathaleen and i emailed back and forth the entire time she was in phoenix with her uncle. plans to get together when she was back in the city. we talked about stuff we haven't talked about in ages, that deeper level sort of stuff that indicates maybe we're beginning to get back on track... she had to drive her nana to the farm wednesday but then she'd be back. she suggested i go to blues on whyte sunday because she would be there. well, i have a test monday so no. she said she'd call. she has not. i already left a message on her cell phone. i'm such a sucker you know. if people don't call me, i just keep calling them. with all this "maybe she didn't get the message" bullshit in my head. bullshit. she has a cell phone. it notifies you as to when you have a message. i'm pissed.
i had asked mom and dad if we could go for brunch for my birthday. she said yes, but then she talked to dad and he decided to just send alex and me with money. that really was not the point. i just wanted to have a nice family brunch. see how birthdays always suck? you get excited about one thing, thinking it's a go, but then it's not. even parents bail.
so, i'm not going to go for brunch on my birthday. i'm going to sit at hom and feel very sorry for myself. i will have a very merry unbirthday, indeed.
