Miscellaneous Halloween thread


Anyways....

It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown is on ABC right now!!!





Happy Halloween everyone!!!!

Sorry - I didn't mean to be such a downer. I'm apparently in overly-honest mood tonight and just wanted to explain why I've been such a pouty-pants and recognize that it's mostly about other stuff going on in my life.

You were never picked last in dodgeball, were you? ;)
The damn Great Pumpkin always forsakes me every year, so this year, I'm forsaking him, dammit!

Pru sorry to hear you felt left out and your feelings hurt. I am wasn't invited either. But no way would i have been able to make it. Just don't like the rubbing in of those who went and the pictures. Kinda like i have this and you don't kinda way back in school being taunted. But don't let that stop you from future events where you are invited to. Most events i can't make due to work and i feel very left out that events happen regularly on Fri and Sat nights when i might be working.

There's too many F'n commericals!!:mad:

My point exactly!

It was not a swanking. Swankings are posted and open to anyone. This was a private party. There were a lot of locals that weren't invited. I can write a nice long list if you like, a lot longer than the list of invited, I'd wager.

I was saddened to find out who wasn't invited, and there were plenty of swankers that came to mind as missing. It would have been cool to have everyone there, but it was beyond our control.

I didn't post about the lovely time I had because I thought people would react poorly. Guess I was right. Kind of a bummer really, since I'd love to participate in the post-event discussions.

I don't get invited to stuff sometimes. More often than some would expect. Such is the life of a large circle of friends. I don't post complaints, either.

It's not easy to be on the outside looking in, but the reality of the matter is that our houses have limited space, and if someone is not inviting me (and yes, as with most of us, it has happened a fair bit) it is probably a matter of not being as close to that person as others are. Inevitably, the guests that a host invites are the people who the host knows best. In my experience, it's not as much an issue of 'popularity' as it is about personal connections. Friendship doesn't happen like magic. There are a lot of things that go into it - time, energy, patience, flexibility... They say relationships take work, and friendship-relationships are no different.

So, JWBear, I haven't talked to you much outside of the board, but I do really enjoy your posts and I'd be happy to have you join me at any gatherings we host or outings we take. I've posted some of them here on the board, and you've never joined me, so I've assumed you didn't care to. But I will be sure to extend a direct invite next time!

Actually, I was. I got over it.

I got even!! :evil:
