I was invited to a party tonight, but I did not go. Now I'm bored.
A good friend of mine invited me to a birthday party for a friend of his at a local restaurant. I declined, mainly because I'm only an acquaintance of the birthday girl, P., and didn't feel comfortable being invited by another guest.
My good friend got upset at this: "You know P. fine... It's OK... I told her you're coming... There's room for you at the table... You're friends with several of the other guests... Well fine. Whatever. Talk to you later. Bye."
Though I am good friends with several of the guests, and P. was told I was invited, I've only talked to P. maybe twice. So I didn't think it was right for me to be there because the birthday girl herself didn't invite me. Plus, I would have had to make small talk with P., and I hate forced conversation with people I don't know well. Call me antisocial.
What do you think? Do you think it would have been OK to go? Now I've got my good friend pissed at me for being such an antisocial homebody.
