Invitation

Every year a guy friend of mine has a big party the night before Thanksgiving and this year was no different; however, I did not get invited. And, yes, I was offended.

Don't feel too bad for me, though. Because of my outrageous popularity, I was able to find something to do. A couple friends and I hit up the Marshall hotspot - The Fox. Then, we made our way over to Waterloo, for a few drinks at MSP.

While at MSP, I ran into this "friend" that didn't invite me to his party. When he saw me walk past, he yelled out, "What's up?" I was cordial and I gave him a hug. Then he said, "Why didn't you come to my party?"

I simply told him I never got the invite.

Then he realized he's an ass, and started to back peddle. He said that I should know I'm always invited, there wasn't a formal invitation to the party, and he had told one of my other friends (who ended up not going out that night) about the party and expected her to tell me.

Let me explain a few things to everyone out there:

I won't show up a party if I'm not invited.

You can't expect me to show up to a party that I didn't know about if I wasn't invited. While I knew about this specific party, this may not be the case every time.

You can't rely on another friend to tell people about your party.

And don't lie and say that there was no formal invitation sent out when I saw the Facebook invite on another friends page. Yes, I consider Facebook invites formal. When/if I ever get married, you can expect your invitation via Facebook...it's just cheaper.

Later that night, the "friend" that had the party informed me that Drake used to be on Degrassi: The Next Generation. You can see why I'd want to hang out with him, he's capable of stimulating conversation that include tid bits of information like that!
