Well then, next time they'll have to make their own travel arrangements that don't include you since they obviously aren't being very considerate.

They're old enough to know better, Rosie. And you are way too young to have to fret over what your siblings are doing rather than going out and enjoying yourself!

This time DAD asked me, as a favor to him since he couldn't get them. So HE'S ticked off that they just did their own thing without even the courtesy of calling to let me know they made other plans.

I don't have anywhere to go out TO on my own. Maybe that's part of the trouble. But there isn't anywhere here.

I'm kinda hitting a down spot, but I know it's really over silly stuff. Other people are looking for jobs and dealing with real family problems, and I whine about the lack of social events and my pesky siblings. Not really a big deal, I guess, but it can still be depressing at times.
