Nice things are nice
Apr. 24th, 2007 04:17 pmI just wanted to thank everyone who said nice things earlier, or who offered their concern and/or party-hosting services at any point in the last week and a half. It's very sweet.
It's not about the party, though. I honestly couldn't care less if we had a party or not. As far as I'm concerned, the only people I /really/ want to be psyched about our baby are Jen and me. (Although it's fun when you guys are, too, because I get psyched about your babies!) But I do care about losing friends, or finding out people aren't my friends, or whatever you want to call it. It's a tough lesson of suck. I was never very good at that part, because I never really let go of friends.
That isn't to say we DON'T have friends, and I learned last night that having a party is actually much more important to Jen than it ever was to me, something I just didn't realize before. Which is my bad.
So I don't know what's going on with this party business, and I don't know 100% how I feel about salvation party offers, but I do appreciate the concern from those of you who are concerned.
I'd just really like some sort of resolution, not for the party business, but for the friend business. It probably won't be any kind of GOOD resolution (although I can certainly hope) but having dead air for so long has really gotten to me.
