Some times you have to make your own "in" crowd. I was invited to this one so maybe my opinion doesn't count, but I much prefer the public acknowledgment of an event than to have it be covered up.

The unfortunate reality is that whether by restricted guest list, economics, geography, or the physics of time and space, we're all going to miss out on stuff. I love hearing about what everyone does - unless it's staying home a moping. Make your own fun and people will want to join you.

Chris, I forgot to mention that my comment quoted here was intended to be humorous. I guess it didn't come off that way.

My feelings are never hurt, I live too far to be invited to any thing. And I only visit the folks down south once or twice a year. I love it when everyone shares pictures.

Prudence, I have to tell you I felt it was in part incumbent upon me to invite you and your very nice bf as a welcoming gesture. I'm glad you guys live here, I look forward to seeing you at many events and perhaps becoming friends.

BUT ... i could not see how I could invite you while at the same time not being able to invite a good many people I have friendships with, feel true affection for, and have spent a whole lot more time with developing those friendships and that affection.

In the end, I decided such a friendly gesture could not be managed without hurting other people's feelings who thus would have been excluded on the basis that they did not just move to Los Angeles.

As Morrigoon pointed out, deference was given to people who have attended this event in the past (albeit only once) and then, yes, to people I feel particularly close to. There had to be some kind of fuzzy cut-off line. A few of the LoT folk I invited were unable to make it.

If I did not invite you, it most certainly doesn't mean I don't like you. But I hope you know whether or not we hang out together or have a deepish connection. Since the guest list was limited, those are the people I invited.

I can only hope such choices become even harder for me in the future, because I have become closer to more and more of my friends. I should only have such problems!

In the meanwhile, my regrets for any slights, or hurt feelings. I know emotions are what they are, and they sometimes sting. My sorry.

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.

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.

I think I've kind of been trying to make a point that EVERYONE gets left out sometimes, though, and we all kind of have to roll with it, because in big groups, not everyone is connecting with each other in exactly the same level. And that's OK, and to be expected.

And to illustrate: I felt like I was missing out on your fun Haunt trips, after seeing pictures on the board. But I was glad you all had fun, and I never brought it up with you because I didn't know you as well, and why would I spoil the good times you had with your closer friends? And now I am very glad that I know the two of you better now and I'm glad to be able to spend time with you on Friday!
