I'm beginning to get frustrated with this new years situation. Rachel and I planned this great party and invited more than 30 people, the VAST majority of whom neither of us have seen in 4 months because we both go to college out of state. We've had only 5 people say they're attending, and I know at least 3 are planning on going to other parties as well. I want to see my friends, but a bunch of them are now going to Russ's party, which was announced DAYS after ours, after we had invited him to ours (and did he kindly return the invite? NO.) so there's that. A bunch of others don't give any reason for their declined invitations. So now I'm probably not going to get to see these people unless they deign to show up at my birthday party.

What gives? We've got great music (I should know, I made the playlist), 3am pancakes and my camera. OH AND IT'S A FUCKING MASQUERADE.

PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO COME TO A MASQUERADE.

My conclusion is that the people I thought were my friends are actually kind of crazy or something, because no one sane turns down an invitation to wear a fancy mask.
