Thinking Time

While at work tonight I was doing some thinking about friends. First you need to know why I started thinking about this so here is the story. Ashleah just had her birthday and we are going out to celebrate on Saturday with other people...that is what was supposed to happen but everyone else is a flake and can't come now. So Ashleah and I were talking about what we wanted to do (really what she wanted to do cuz its her birthday) and first we thought maybe we would reschedule to another time when other friends could join us then a brilliant second option came to Ashleah...forget everyone else and we will just go without them sounds good to me. Then it got me thinking why do people who say they are your friends tell you that they will be able to do something then at the last min. decided that they can't because something (usually work came up). In my opinion I think that they should tell you straight up that they don't know instead of getting you all excited about going then letting you down. People who do this get a reputation and then you just don't rely on them for anything. This is defiantly not the kind of friend I want to be and hope that I am not. I just want to thank two friends that I have that have never let me down.
