you wait for 2 hours for some friends.
turn down 1-2 other well-meaning pals who ask you to join them instead. pals who you haven't seen as often but nevertheless you turn down because you have a prior pact to keep.
finally meet the very important people, and end up being sidelined by conversation on topics you don't know... you ask questions because you genuinely want to find out more about something your friends are interested in and so as not to be a spoilsport... but barely get any replies over a deluge of other interruptions.
you give up.
La chose triste? Personne n'est intéressé.
maybe i just am oversensitive. but it's not like i go, emo, cut and cry myself to sleep or whatever. i don't. but it hurts all the same.
