So pretty much, a ‘friend’ is throwing a birthday party the same night as my going away party.

Yes, so not surprisingly, I’m pretty annoyed at this. I’ve gotten past the initial anger and disappointment, and I’m just left with confusion, really. And a little (ok, a lot, of frustration). I just don’t understand the thought process that went into throwing a birthday party on the same night as my going away party. I’ve talked to him about it, and he doesn’t seem to think it’s a big deal - “It’s not like I’m ruining your night!”, and true - there will be plenty of other people there and I am sure we’ll have an amazing night - but in my eyes, he’s putting a huge dent in our friendship.

I’ve refrained from writing about this until now (I found out, and had words with him, on Saturday) because I didn’t want to post a huge, anger-filled rant (doesn’t help that I was pms, and it was on the back of an already emotionally taxing day. Saturday night I bailed on friends and spent the night in bed with a book.. after talking to dad about it and just bursting into tears) - I just wanted to put my feelings out there.

So now, some of my friends from that group of people will inevitabley go to his birthday-bash, which puts more dents in friendships. At the risk of sounding too primary school, mine was planned first! It’s been planned for months! He decided like 5 days ago that he wants to throw a birthday party, and you just decide that mine isn’t worth it? Thanks. That makes me feel 100% great about life. Also, having run into one or two people already that told me they wouldn’t be able to make it to Barker - you didn’t even have the decency to tell me that you were going to his? Just that you had “other plans”? (This was before I found out about his birthday plans). Thanks, once again. What amazing friends I have.

To me, this speaks volumes. Nice to see where your loyalties lie. I suppose I shall see you in 9 months, maybe. I’m sure as hell not going out of my way to catch up with you before I go now.
