anatomy of a cowardly act

went to columbus today to help brent celebrate his birthday at the thurman cafe. an excellent time, though it was confirmed that i have no spatial or parking abilitites whatsoever. anyway, i cut my trip short because...well, let me back up.

on friday, after school, i was talking to my friend bea and she asked what i was doing saturday night. i told her i was going to columbus for lunch, but wasn't sure how long i would be gone. she said that she and some friends were getting together and invited me along. my interest was piqued, since one of the friends was her friend courtney, who i find lovely and fascinating. so i told her i'd go, thinking i could do lunch with brent and hang out a bit, then come home.

which is exactly what i did.

unfortunately, 7:30 rolled around and i hadn't heard anything. so i called bea. no answer. so i went back to watching veronica mars. few minutes pass and bea calls. she's sick. staying in bed for the evening. but, ever the good friend, she says i could call and find out what they were doing. so she asked if i wanted courtney's number.

what a question.

so i took the number.

and never called.

see, with bea there, i had a buffer. without her there, then it would be weird. i mean, they were her friends getting together, and though i've met them a couple of times, i would have felt out of place. which is not the best way to make an impression on someone.

pragmatic or spineless?

you be the judge.
