Since this is my blog, I'm going to complain for a minute. I don't like to complain a lot, but these few things have been bothering me.
Complaint 1: I get asked all the time why I don't go out or why I only hang out with a few people. Well, to tell you the truth, the reason is because I either don't have anyone to go with me or nobody asks me to go out with them. I realize I can go wherever I want, but going out by myself pretty much sucks. I would like to say it doesn't hurt my feelings when my "friends" are doing something and don't bother to ask me to go, but to be honest it does. I realize this works both ways, but I'm always the one to call and ask something so sometimes it is nice to be asked. I also realize there are certain times that it was either an accident, or just something they had planned with other people. I'm not talking about those times. I'm talking about every weekend plans that don't involve me.
Complaint 2: Why does someone just decide one day to not be your friend. Maybe not stop being your friend, but stop calling or texting or anything. I realize people grow apart, I realize social media has kind of made it seem like you know what is going on in peoples lives, and I understand everyone gets busy. But it gets frustrating when I'm the only one that puts any effort into talking to people. I know there are some people that I should probably talk to more often that I don't, but it seems like since I graduated from college that everyone stopped caring.
Complaint 3: I've never understood why people base who they are friends with by who their friends are. Just because you don't necessarily like a person I hang out with doesn't mean we can't be friends. Right? For example, I went out somewhere a few weeks ago with some friends and acquaintances. I can't tell you how many people asked me why I was out with particular people. Does it really matter? Most of the time it is because they are doing something that I want to do and I don't mind hanging out with them. Are you going to stop being my friend because I am friends with someone else? I feel like I'm in high school sometimes and the whole "we can't be friends with her cause she doesn't hang out with the right crowd." If that is the case, maybe we were never friends.
I am the same person I've always been. Maybe people just don't like hanging out with me and to be honest most of the time I'm okay with that. I guess what really upsets me is when people I really thought were my friends start treating me this way. Did I do something to offend anyone? Is it because I don't live in College Station? It seems like ever since I moved back to Burleson, nobody remembers that I'm here. Maybe I'm over thinking all of this a little but I wouldn't mind moving and starting over. That is part of my reasoning for wanting to move to Austin although I don't know if that will ever happen.

I feel the same way sometimes... heck, a lot of times... come to Austin... we'll hang :) Love ya'!
Ok, so I read this post and I'm thinking I'm probably guilty of some of the things you're accusing someone of.
First, I promise my decision to go to BBs was last minute and it was essentially with people you do not know. But, next time I will let you know I'm going even if it's 1 hour before everything starts!
Second, You are always more than welcome to go out with Deidre, Lori, Michelle, and whoever else is going anytime you want. It's an open invitation. Never feel like you can't go with us.
However, we are going to NYC in 2 weeks, so bring your rainboots so our feet don't get soaking wet and we die of pneumonia!
