*Sadness*
I hate it when things dont go according to plan.
I had this perfect weekend, all mapped out, and then it just all crumbled.
Well okay, im probably totally overreacting, but the problem with me is, I build things up so big in my head, that when one slight detail falls out of place.. well its like the bottom brick in a Jenga game. And I end up having less fun because of it, even if the event is still a really good time.
So let me explain; what was supposed to happen this weekend was as follows:
Friday night was going to be a party at Stephens, cause he was in town. ( this actually was a lot of fun and everything worked out well)
Saturday in the day I was going to stay home and hide allll of the Easter suprises for SUnday in my house, and then make sure the place was clean to have people over. Then Saturday night I was going to go to Chemainus to see Barbara, Jordan, and Ryans improv group perform, with Jen, Dave, Cora, and Stephen! then Stephen was going to sleep over
Sunday I had planned out an extensive Easter Egg Hunt for 6 of my best friends! Oh also Stephen was going to have his own special hunt, because he had to leave early for Gabriola. The Sunday night I was going to go to Geoffs to watch RENT with him and Monkey, because I havent hung out with the two of them in a depressingly long time, and I miss them!
What ended up happening:
Aden had asked me about a week ago to organize a little event with him and Amber, and a few other people, so he could get to know her better ( he doesnt say much at the big parties that they both attend) and he had been getting on my case so much that I got fed up, and asked both Aden and Amber if they would like to come watch RENT with me and Monkey. This works otu quite well for the both of them, but sucks for me. I mean, dont get me wrong, I like Amber a lot, and shes fun to hang out with ( and I'd like to watch RENT with her too!) but now its just this whole pseudo matchmaking thing, when I was supposed to be spending some quality time with Monkey.
Laura and Alleah both said they could NOT come to my SUnday surprise, whicih disappointed me a LOT. I mean, It meant I could invite two other people who I would like to come, but I still really wanted them both to be there, because they are two of my very best friends! So that sucks, but I invite two others, and so all of my spots are filled ( meaning there is exactly enough candy for everyone) Then Laura calls and says she CAN come!! while this makes me really happy, I cant exactly uninvite someone else.. But I had a few plastic eggs left, and some extra candy, and I dipped into my stash I got from my mom, so Laura does have something to hunt for.
Saturday Jen calls me and says she cant get the car, so we have no way of getting to Chemainus to see improv. This bites a lot. I was looking really forward to it, and so were they!! plsu I had promised Barbara I was going to come :( So thats out, but I was still going to have them over to hang out, seeing as we could GO out.
Then Stephen calls. He says oh, I decided to go with my family to Gabriola tonight instead of tomorrow, have fun! This made me really mad/ upset.. even moreso than with Laura and Alleah. I mean, he lives in vancouver, so I barely get to see him. BUt more than that, I had already hidden all his eggs, and made it special because he couldnt be there for the big event. And he didnt tell me ahead of time so I could invite someone else. I KNOW he wants to see his family too, and I dont blame him for that, but it doesnt stop me from being really pissed. Or maybe Im just more sad than angry, I cant tell. Either way, that was just like, the icing on the cake. It was just one more thing about this weekend that didnt work out for me.
Now I just want to tell everyone to screw off and leave me in a hole of misery.
But, instead, im having the girls over tonight. It will be fun, I know it.
gaaah, sorry about the tres emo post

*guves you hugs even though you'll be all awkward when I do it* I know what that's like, when it all falls apart and you just want to cry or hit someone.
I've been super excited to see you today, and I'm still really excited. :) Yours will be the only Easter surprise I get.
