So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from... | It's not that I don't want to go... Monday, October 22, 2007 @ 10:14 pm ...but how do you politely refuse to go to a planned event for your ex-roommate's birthday party when you don't think you can afford it? So his birthday's on 11/9, a Friday before a long 3-day weekend. The plan is to go out to dinner/drinks on Saturday night in San Francisco, which would be fine, but all of us supposedly going to this party had already made plans to go to a Sondre Lerche concert the following night and have fun during the day leading up to it. So now we're tacking on an extra day which would cost extra money to do and it would require me to spend the night in SF, which wouldn't be such a big deal if I never had any work to do during the weekends anyway. But being that I am taking classes, I do. And I NEVER work even if I bring work with me because there's always something better to do. Another option would be to drive to SF, drive back down after dinner, and drive back up the following day, which is just silly, and also pretty expensive gas-wise. Ugh. I don't want to flat out say "No" because that makes it seem like I don't WANT to go which is the farthest thing from the truth. And I don't want to say "No" and then proceed to explain why because that makes it seem like I'm making excuses, and they'll probably try to shame me into it anyway and say they'll pay for me and whatever. But I don't want to be that guy either--the one who owes everyone money because he can't pay his own fucking way. Well, I'm sorry I don't have the time or money to do things all the time. I know I'm young and supposed to be enjoying my life, but it's very hard to actually enjoy things when you know that the money you're using could be used to help pay off your student loans or your credit card or pay for graduate school (if you ever get in) or help go towards a new, less gas-guzzling automobile.... I think I had enough fun in college to It's tiresome, yes. Soul-crushing, indeed. But I think it's something I need to do. Besides, I'm falling behind on my pleasure-reading... I think my weekends would be just as well spent doing that in the comfort of my own room (gas = $0!) than driving about 100 miles roundtrip just to buy a few $7 beers that should cost a buck-fifty... 0 Comments.
