So I have this friend, right? We've been friends for a few years, and we're a lot alike. The last time we saw each other it was the beginning of July. We saw a play at this super cool theater in Houston, then went to a party and walked around the Theatre District until two in the morning. We made all these crazy plans for later in the month, talked about all our problems, etc. It was a healing experience for me.
And then he didn't talk to me for two months. So we never did any of those cool things, and every time I planned something he canceled on me. We finally decided on some epic night on the town. I made a CD and dropped it off at his house so he could get pumped. Stupid friend stuff, I know, but I did it with my brother and it was always so much more fun when we had specific music to listen. Anyway, I made him a CD and he loved it, apparently. But then when the night on the town came around he didn't answer any of my calls and I had to cancel it. And he didn't talk to me until he got a job that he's been trying to get forever and I invited him out for drinks. Then he couldn't wait to see me and told me he's missed me a ton.
So I planned this celebration thing. He was going to go with me and a bunch of people to a baseball game and then we would go out for drinks and just have fun. He was down...up until he suddenly remembered he had to do something for his grandfather and couldn't go anymore. But he "really wants to hang out soon bc I've missed you sooo much!" Yeah, I can see that.
I'm not sure when I should give up. Like, I feel like these are just giant excuses that have piled up one on top of another. I was operating under the assumption that his phone was broken, because that's what he told me. When my brother was out eating lunch with his friend, however, he saw my friend walk by him, texting someone and then calling them. So his phone was working perfectly a month ago. He gave me his "brand new" phone number on Wednesday.
My brothers say that I should just tell him to fuck off. And I don't want to lose him because I have a lot of fun with him, but he's been blowing me off for months. I'm not sure what I'm doing to make all my friends not want to be around me, but this isn't a new thing. It's happened several times this year. I guess I left all my good friends in Iowa, excepting one or two of them.
Today was actually a good day, but this has put a damper on my evening. Now I'm too upset to sleep and I don't want to do anything tomorrow. Welp, I'm off to bed.
Goodnight, readers.
