Yea, so I have this so called friend who for the purpose of this entry we will refer to as Megan. So Megan and I are good friends. We have known each other for about five years now. I would even say that we are more than good friends, our family's know each other and Megan actually has annoying cousin status rather than a family friend. So we are close enough. We have graduated from high school and since kept in contact. We are definitely getting old and the time has come for us both to graduate from college. Megan was scheduled to graduate in the Spring of 2008, and accordingly in the Winter of 2008 Megan approached me and asked if I would attend her graduation. I was soo gased to be invited to my friend's graduation. I was very very happy and gladly accepted the offer.
A college graduation is a pretty big deal, especially considering that Megan has a large family and tickets would probably be limited if not scarce. So I was honored to be counted into her limited amount of tickets. So after accepting the invite I immediatley asked if it would be okay with the limited space and all, Megan asured it would be fine. So all is well and 5 months pass and now here we are in May. Megan contacts me approximately 2 weeks before the graduation and now its time to start making some concrete plans. So she askes if I am still coming to the Graduation I am still excited and planning on coming, I asked very quickly about the location on campus and if there were still tickts and everything- Megan again assures everything will be A okay and that all signs are GO. Megan did not give me the information about the location exact time etc. but hey whats the rush we still have two weeks untik the event we will get everything straightened out in due time ... Right? <_< Well thats what I thought. Time goes by and now its a few days about four days before the graduation and Megan contacts me again to check in to make sure I am still coming. Again I am excited and now in the process of shopping for her graduation gift, all thats left is to write down the location and the time and figure out my route of transportation etc.
Keep in mind its only three days now before the Graduation and Megan has not givin me the location of the Graduation nor have we made plans about how we will meet up so that I can get the tickets from her. So another day passes and I start to worry because I don't want to make plans at the last minute to travel, being that we live about five states away from each other. So I stalked Megan (yea I admit it, so what?) via text messages and like 5 - maybe 6 phone calls including about 3 voice mails asking her specifically where the graduation would be and what time. Megan responds (via text messages) with How are you? How is everything? How is world hunger, what about Obama?..BASICALLY EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR THE INFORMATION I NEED TO ATTEND THIS GRADUATION. I asked her specifically what building on campus is the ceremony going to be because I can mapquest the university address. Megan responds that she will tell me later because she is not near a computer and that she will give me the directions.
Needless to say that never happened, the night before like either a fool or a really really loyale friend I called her about 5 more times concerning her graduation tomorrow up until 8pm when I regained my dignity and just gave up on the situation. I left a voice message telling her that I cannot come tomorrow because she never gave me the information that I needed to get there, like literally I am all for waking up at like 4 am to travel across five states but I dont even have the address to where I am going.
Megan responds to my voicemail at 12:30am that night ..technically the morning of the graduation- with the information that I needed like four days ago, and about 5 minutes worth of apologizing for her getting back to me so late. I totally deleted that voicemail after I listened to it, rolled my eyes, and went to bed sour. About two weeks later my favorite person Megan <_< contacted me via im and asked how are you?
I rolled my eyes and decided not to be evil and responded nicely to her im. Megan continued to apologize profusley and had 4000 reasons why she played me out. I took it all in stride and was trying to move on. I told her it was fine don't worry about it whatever..
Two months later I receive another IM from Megan and we begin talking and then as if we never disscussed this before she brings up the graduation drama again. See I thought we were done with that but I guess I was wrong. Maybe her guilty conscience needed a little more soothing. The most outrageous parts of the convo was: (note my edits in bold CAPS)Conversation between "leiominala" and "Megan"

[Tue Jul 29 2008 04:30:02 PM] megan: and where it would be when u got off the turnpike or I-95
YEA YOU GUESSED IT it wasnt long before I asked Mrs. Megan to STEP IN TO MY OFFICE!
This converstaion continued via telephone confrontation because I could no longer keep my cool in the office via IM. I had to tell Mrs. Megan that she was frontin the whole time and that all she had to do was say that she didnt have enough tickets for me to come. She did not have to play my life and dodge my phonce calls and create imaginative tales about why she could not return my phone calls etc. This was total crap!!! and I was shocked to have this problem with someone that I considered such a close friend. Mrs. Megan insisits that she gave me all of the information a few days before the graduation which is total lies, and it does not even agree with the evidence.
Exhibit A: her calling me and leaving me that voicemail at 12:30AM JUST LITERALLY HOURS BEFORE THE GRADUATION!!! the voicemail was full of apologies and excuses
Exhibit B: her iming me and continueing to apologize and finally
Exhibit C: In the beginning of this convo she opened up as the guilty party,!!!! why is she still talking about the graduation?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!? Its two months in the past and we have definietly spoken since then and she has apologized a million times already and I have politely accepted these apologies and was ready to forgive and move on... we were even making plans to go see a play on Broadway WTF!!!!
This was toat tally WACK WIGGIDY WIZZACK!!! ON Megans part! For all those out there please don't be like Megan. If you make plans with someone and for whatever reason you cannot keep the plans PLEASE be honest and cancel don't dodge the person and fabricate soap opera plots for why you could not reach them or vice versa. It just looks really WAMP on your part, you lose 5000 cool points and u just may end up STEPPING INTO MY OFFICE!! It would have been so simple if Megan just told me that she didnt have enough tickets for me to come instead of fronting. So until next time schedule carefully and if something comes up just communicate don't be WACK like Megan.
Talk to you soon!!!
