It's expected of you cause you are a friend
Guess whos birthday is coming up....ya give? It's mine! I will be lucky number 30. I wanted to post my invite but it is too hard to modify it to fit. Anyhow...we are gonna have our own pub crawl in downtown Ferndale (all the bars are in walking distance). It's on June 10th. My actual birthday is on the 17th but I will be up in Sagnasty celebrating that night. I realy wanted to do something special since it's not your average 20 something birthday.
This weekend is my friend Jammie's birthday. She is turning the big 30 as well. I wanted to do something big for b-day too. I asked her what she would like to do and she mentioned that she likes the outdoor patios to sit and drink at. There is a nice clubby one nextdoor to me. I told her to call and ask her friends if they would come to celebrate it with her (Driving to this bar would be approx. 30 min.) Evidently most of whom she talked to did not want to make the drive. So in the end she decided she would rather hang out at her regular spots where she knows everyone will be.
O.k, ever since I moved to Detroit we obviously have not been able to hang out all the time. In this respect we both have new groups of friends. Mine are all down South and her's are all up North. I do not know any of the people she hangs out with well enough to have their numbers and call them to make plans. But WTF? I feel like they are lame-ass pussies. I mean you can't drive 30 min? You party at these bars every week like clock work. You cant make an exception for one night. Even for a few hours? Am I over reacting? Cause if these were my friends, I would tell them all to @$%6 off.
I have attended numerous bachelorette, and 21st birthday parties.The least any decent friend would do is return the favor, right?
It seems to me that if it was a special occasion people would make an exception. I mean it's your day, what do you want to do? I mean c'mon, I almost rented a limo for my celebration. I was even thinking stripper, Canada, the works! I had to remind myself that it's only my birthday, not a bachelorette party!
