RSVP

So my Halloween movie night/party is tomorrow night, and yet I still don’t really have a head count on how many people are coming. Sent out 15 invites and got five replies back, the other ten waited until I called them their replies were they might be there. A “might” sounds like I’ll come if nothing else pops up.

Is it me or people these days just rude? I’m sorry but if someone is taking the time to plan/host an event, make handmade invitations (that were snail mailed) wouldn’t it be curtness to reply back with an answer then not at all? Both VancityBuzz and Duane think that our generation has that attitude of I’ll show up to your party, if you got something I want …. aka free beer and free wifi. Instead of going because its your friend who’s hosting it.

One of my best friends mentioned to me last night “If someone don’t reply back/said yes but never show then they get put on the do not invite list”. I think I’m gonna start falling that rule as its a good rule to go by. Why should you end up in tears over them being rude. I also think I need some new friends.

What do you do when you got people who don’t rsvp?

Summer 09 in Review

The nine weeks of summer did go by fast … well it seemed to me. But I really enjoyed this summer even if I didn’t go camping or on any fancy road trips. Here are some of my highlights of the summer:

• Got a bone bruise on my ankle early July and it STILL hurts (not sure what I did)
• Celebrated my first anniversary living in this house
• Drove to an out of town dragon boat festival with someone who is the worst backseat driver ever!
• Hosted a BBQ
• Created a dragon boat team of basically Vancouver twitters for a BC Childrens Fundraiser
• My Carbon Fiber paddle broke
• Got a new look, chopped 13 inches of hair off and got myself a new clothes and shoes
• Lost a childhood pet
• Danced six hours straight at my cousin’s wedding
• Attend my first WordCamp Fraser Valley
• Attend my first Renaissance Festival
• Hosted two themed movie nights
• Failed at my 30 day challenge of eating normal food but only having water to drink (no sugary crap ) .. Lasted 15 days
• Did not huli (flipped) when I paddled in a oc1 (1man outrigger) all summer long
• Changed PGN’s layout
• Last but not least…… H2O Geeks placed 7th overall out of 24 teams – I am very proud of these guys
