To sum up the experience of last night, here's what happened. Me and my girlfriend (pinkbunny) got to the pub, spent a little while with my older brother and other friend who waited a half hour alone in his car just to buy me a drink and wish me a happy birthday. He didn't stay because he had previous arrangements, but that right there is class.
My third best friend then came with his girlfriend, he's the one that first broke the news to me about how the other two weren't coming. My third best friend also told me the other two were coaxing HIM into not coming, which is total bullshit because friend #3 doesn't have any problem with the problem-girl.
So then problem-girl came with a friend, and we just talked and had a good time with everybody there. Although we didn't have 20 people there for me...or even 10....I was glad those few people that came did. At around 1:30 I just thought it would be good to wrap things up. Standing outside the bar we were getting ready to split and then came best friend #1 and #2.
they shouldn't have come at all. when i saw them, i feeling came over me....i wasn't greatful that they came, i was more letdown. "you guys already leaving?", one said. "uh...yeah."
one talked about how they just saw 'garden state' and how it was good...a movie i first told them about... i can't believe i was being spoken to about a movie like there was no problem.
didn't know how to react, one of the friends game me an extra long hug when he said hello, but i didn't want one. i didn't push them away, i didn't give them a dirty look, i just was dazed. they left after about 10 minutes, back to their car. they ignored the problem-girl, didn't say hello, didn't acknowledge her with any eye contact or anything. my girlfriend, also not given much acknowledgement.
as they entered their car, my girlfriend exploded with emotion, and ran towards their car and asked "how could you do this to your best friend on his birthday?!" and then best friend closed the car door saying 'fuck this".
thats bullshit.
i'm glad in a way, that all of this happened. no one can expect anything from me in the near future, which leaves me feeling disconnected and kinda revitalized.
