WTF? Well, now I have another reason to despise certain people. Against my better judgement, I agreed to go on this float trip with people I told myself never to hang out with again. And what happened? They proved themselves to be unreliable. I first found out that there was talk of a float trip on Monday night. Wednesday, it was finally confirmed. So I started planning my life around it; packing, preparing, scheduling around it, etc. Then I get a call this morning about whether or not we should go on the float trip since it was calling for rain. Key word: "was" Earlier this week I had expressed concern because the forecast said isolated thunderstoms...but noone else seemed worried about it, so I continued preparing to go. And when I re-check the forecast, there's no longer rain in it. But at noon the day we're scheduled to leave, someone I didn't even think was going on the trip in the first place decides that rain sucks and she doesn't want to go. Suddenly this means that none of us are going. Instead, they want to get together at one couple's house (who have the worst dogs I've ever been around...and I usually like dogs) to barbecue and watch the first pre-season Chiefs game. Don't get me wrong, I love football and barbecue...but somehow it just doesn't sound as appealing as the weekend plans that were destroyed. I had the potential for fun canoeing down a river...but being stuck in a house with people whose company I don't enjoy and dogs who haven't been taught not to maul visitors is the very last thing I want to do. This will be my last weekend of summer ever. I go back to college Wednesday, graduate in December, and then I'll no longer be a student and no longer have summer breaks. And one person I already don't like ruins it. There were so many other things I could have done this weekend. Real friends I could have seen, business stuff I could have done...not to mention I could have worked on packing to go back to college. But I turned those things down because I was going to try to give my boyfriend's friends another chance. And you know what? They blew it. At least I have a wonderful boyfriend who (despite his questionable choice of friends) is trying to make things okay. We're going to go on this float trip anyway...without them...and we're going to have a fabulous time. I sound like a horrible girlfriend who is ruining her guy's social life, but I offered to let him go to the barbecue without me. I just can't stand being around people who don't consider how their actions are affecting others, so I wasn't going to join him. I know everyone feels like their animosity towards others is justified, but I really do feel justified. I've never felt really comfortable around them, but I was trying to make things work. Then lately, they've been doing things like this. Making half-assed plans and changing them at the last minute. They don't include me when they're making decisions that will affect me. I have a life and I need to stop letting it revolve around other people.
