BAWWWWW! TT__TT

I'm pretty hurt right now. My best friends and my sister were supposed to come visit me this weekend, and now apparently no one is coming. I've been looking forward to this for two whole weeks! D: I did all my homework ahead of time, cleared my schedule, planned some stuff for us to do, and even added money to my meal plan. Now I'm all alone this weekend. Canceling at the last second is so lame. My friends are all too well known for pulling stuff like this. I should have known. :/

Where's your sister in all this? Was she blindsided in this?

[popo-licious.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she really wanted to come and see me, and my friend Andrew, who has been planning this for months and was supposed to drive everyone down, came up with this last minute bullshit excuse about a family reunion that his mom conveniently forgot to tell him about. When I talked to him on Sunday I had a weird inkling that maybe he didn't want to come, but I didn't think he'd cancel on me. And my other friend, Lori, was never a sure thing because she's at Rutgers and had to coordinate a bus to DC with the trip. She's also not the most dependable person I know,, sad to say. She didn't even know the trip was this coming weekend when I talked to her.

Again, my sister really wanted to come, but she isn't an experienced enough driver to come by herself. She only just got her license, it's a long way down to VT and the roads can be rather dangerous--lots and lots of large trucks.

[superbus.livejournal.com]

There's no way your 17 (?) year old sister should be driving that section of Virginia. Forget the trucks; regular traffic is *BRUTAL*, and the drivers don't know or care what they're doing. Road layouts are brutal on inexperienced drivers, too; I had problems my first few times in the area, and I'd been driving for years. I say this assuming your mother would let her go alone in the first place; I'd assume she'd put the kibosh on that.

At the very least, you and your sister can plan something for a later date? Don't know what to say about your other friends; you all seem to have been friends for so long, so I can only assume you'll figure it out?

[popo-licious.livejournal.com]

She's actually only sixteen, so yes, much too young to be making a trip like that alone. (In a new car.) XD She has experience with traffic (Hello, Fairfax County!) but she's has limited highway experience. Her making the trip alone isn't even up for discussion with my folks. XD On the bright side, Thanksgiving Break is coming up so, but... I dunno. Having someone visit me is a lot more rare and exciting than me going back home to visit.

As for my friends. D:< They're just so unreliable. They always do stuff like this. If I ask them to meet me somewhere at twelve, they show up at three without an explanation, or they don't show up at all, or they cancel at the very last minute. The only reason why I stick by them is because when we do get together, we just have so much fun. I just find it frustrating that other people don't value my time and emotions. I don't think they realize how hurtful it is to bail time after time.

Anyways, what's new with you, 'Bus? Also, I'll work on your Superbus icon over break, if you still want/need one. :3 I've been busy. XD

That sure sucks, I'm sorry. :/

[popo-licious.livejournal.com]

Thanks. >:

[burning-phoneix.livejournal.com]

Do what I do: finish your homework ahead of time, plan some stuff and save money....And then go to your friends and force them to come with you. :3

[popo-licious.livejournal.com]

Wait, what? XD I don't see how that would work, as I have no car, no job, and school is slightly more than two-hundred miles away from home. :0

[divinedesires.livejournal.com]

;___; Aww bb

Have you ever... talked about their tardiness before? IDK, usually friends can get so worked up over things like these, so I'm not sure if it's any good advice ;;

I could fully understand your sister not coming, though I do feel it's a bit unfair, since I think she would've liked to come and see you too ;;__;;

I hope it all works out in the end though, even if it means you'll have to go back at a later date. Try not to be too upset? I'm sure there's plenty to do!

[popo-licious.livejournal.com]

BAWWW, Memai. D: <3

Yes, I've addressed it. I either get a) nervous laughter, b) "I know, I know! Sorry!", or c) no response. They're just late people by nature, it seems. I'm surprised at how many people have poor sense of time. My roommate is like that too. She's always late. Doesn't anyone have any value for other people's time? Maybe my German is showing...? XD

[divinedesires.livejournal.com]

LOL I think your German IS showing ;D I never like it when people are late, at least not without a good reason, or if they call ahead of time to let me know that they'll be late.

I know how you feel though, I've dealt with some unreliable people, good friends they might be ;;

[popo-licious.livejournal.com]

It's just so damn frustrating. I'm glad to hear that you a time-conscious person. XD

[suroki.livejournal.com]

I am NOT going to let you be mad at me about this! (For Popo's LJ-friends, this is Lori she speaks of.) Andrew told me since the beginning, until very very recently, that the plan was for the 20th. And I could do the 20th, because a girl I know here at Rutgers, also from HHS, happened to be driving down to our hometown that weekend. Andrew just told me, like, last week that he messed the dates up and it's actually this weekend. Thus you should understand my dismay not only because I was trying to figure out buses and trains and how I was gonna not miss class, but still get there on Friday morning.

Bahhhh, and he didn't even tell me we wouldn't be going! I had a mostly-baked transit plan and everything!

I really wanted to visit too, but it just isn't in the stars... D:

[popo-licious.livejournal.com]

Sorry, Lori. I didn't mean to take it out on you. My words were blinded by passion! XD I know it's not your fault and that it would have been quite a feat to get you down here, I just assumed that after two months, Andrew would have managed to get this figured out and would have reliable enough to pass on the information. Apparently not. :/

:huggles:

[popo-licious.livejournal.com]

Oh! And since you haven't been officially filled in, I'm mostly hurt because I think Andrew is lying about not being able to come. He sent me a message last night that said "Oh! A family reunion has magically come up so I can't go!" It doesn't make sense, when you think about it. He was supposed to work that weekend, so regardless of whether he went to Tech or Target, he wouldn't have been able to go to the reunion. And so close to Thanksgiving? When families are all coming together anyways? And how could his mom have known about the reunion and the Tech trip but not say anythng until now? And how is it that this reunion is going to last Saturday and Sunday...? It all seems very fishy to me. He should have just been honest and said, "Hey, I can't afford this trip," or "Sorry, but I couldn't find a place to stay."

D:

[butter-building.livejournal.com]

I'll visit you.

[popo-licious.livejournal.com]

Will you, Foxy? :D

<3 <3 <3

[butter-building.livejournal.com]

Someday, maybe.








When you least expect it.

[popo-licious.livejournal.com]

I see. XD

[rubbished-chico.livejournal.com]

I know how you feel. I flew out to Colorado for the graduation of my best friends this past May. They all promised to be out for my graduation exactly one month later. Leslie got $2000 and a new car for graduating, so I really expected her. I had a lot of things planned, put off getting a job since I wanted to spend time with her, saved money...

A month later, she didn't come out. She promised to be out for the fourth of July. Same thing. Then the 24th of July, my birthday, she promised. Didn't happen. She was exactly 138 miles north of me in Idaho... visiting her boyfriend-of-two-month's grandmother.

My friends are known for things like that, too. Hell... I spent all the money I got for graduation and borrowed 200 to get Jon and I to Colorado with spending money. Then all the money went to buying her kid presents and food.

I'd give you a hug and a piece of cake if I could. Sorry this is a long comment. @.@

[popo-licious.livejournal.com]

WHO DOES THAT?! >:| You're a lot worse off than I am--sorry they bailed on you. D:

[rubbished-chico.livejournal.com]

I learn to live with it. She's soemtimes there when I need her. Like on Farmville... xD

I hope your weekend goes well anyway. Crash a frat party? Throw vending machines off the roof?

... I don't know what you law majors do for fun, but it's gotta' be something! ;]

[popo-licious.livejournal.com]

I'm actually incredibly boring. ;__; I try to avoid frat boys and frat parties, for the most part. XD
