Not a rant, but certainly a whine.
Don’t you absolutely go nuts when you take time out of your day to call someone, and they make you feel like shit for not calling sooner? I hate using the phone… At least I hate calling people, because I always get their voicemail, and it never seems like anyone actually picks up the line and says ‘hello’, anymore. Also, I’m quite hard of hearing, and despite having a brand new cell, it’s still hard to hear when I have noise around me.
Besides, this person has a phone. They could have called me just as easily. So, we’re both at fault.
This goes the same for being invited out, too. I constantly invite people out, and rarely do I have it reciprocated… It’s nice to sometimes to let someone else plan the evening, not to mention be thought of during the planning stages (even spur of the moment is fine with me, quite often). It makes me feel special and important. And, just because I have a boyfriend in my life, doesn’t mean my time is completely monopolized with only one-on-one time with Jer. We both enjoy getting together with friends… Yes, this means you.
I’m such a whiner… But I believe my feelings are valid. So there.
ps: I’ll get back to ‘Friday Silliness’ next week or later tonight, depending on time.

I hear you on the planning events one. Sometimes I think that if we (and by ‘we’ I mean ‘rachel’) didn’t make the plans to see our some of our firends, we would never se them at all . Heaven forbid THEY should actually be the ones to instigate something… anything…
Oh yaaaahhh. I *so* get that. And, the thing is, many of my friends admit to it. One of these days, I’m going to set something up (yes, me) that will get everyone on board to contributing to everyone’s social calendar.
I hate phones. Passionately.
I also hate it that my father, since I was like 8, has been making me feel guilty almost every time I talk to him for not calling more often. What the fuck? an 8 year old is not responsible for making an effort to spend time with her father when her own father can’t be bothered to call! Sheesh.
