  So, I went and met my boyfriend after he was finished class yesterday.
After hanging out with people for 3 hours, people started to leave & I was wondering if we would be taking our leave. He then tells me he's considering going to an all-nighter at the local Six Flags.
Um.. then why the hell did I bother travelling there to spend time being annoyed by people who I only tolerate because they're part of the group?
Whatever, he only found out last-minute, blah blah. Fine, after much internal debating I give up and just accepted my feelings of being ditched and chose to not oppose his going.
I would have loved to join them. Thing is, I have no money, and I can't get $40 on 12 hours' notice.
So whatever, he and I spend the rest of the afternoon with the same annoying people. I'm only sticking around because it's the only time I'll have with him until Monday, when we will again be surrounded by people. He and I go for dinner, then kill the time until 11:30 when he's meeting everyone else.
Tonight I find out that the group spent an additional $120 for a speed pass thing that doesn't let you go to a speed-pass line right away - it 1/4s the ESTIMATED waiting time, and THEN you go wait in the speed line.
It still sounds like a good deal when that 3-hour wait turns into 45 minutes, but when you think of how it gets enforced, it really doesn't work like that in practise. It's a gimmick to get extra money.
There were at least two of our friend group who couldn't go because of financial constraints. That stupid speed pass could have covered us.
And guess what? The machines for the speed passes broke partway through the night. No refund, no nothing. So they wasted a ton of money.
I'm really ******** pissed off with all of them. Not only do they all have jobs save for my boyfriend, they also ALL have cushy parent-funded lives. So it's not like they were spending much-needed money or anything. -__-
$5 from each of them could have gotten me in, I could have swung the other $20. I wasted that on food just so I could spend the evening with my boyfriend AS PLANNED and have somewhere that wasn't the cold, rainy outdoors.
But, sure, it's their money, they can do what they want with it, no matter how idiotic it may be.
But my boyfriend spent that $25 for his portion of the speed pass. After ditching me with no notice to go do something that I couldn't go to due to lack of funds. [See my next post.]

sounds cheap if you ask me.. with the speed pass >_> best just to go with the $40 pass and just wait but kinda pwned with the machines not working d= shows what happens when you leave out Kaze >=D
also did you ask if you could get in too? I mean if they are friends of yours they would be willing to do so.. or they could also be cheap by the sounds of it and not do so.. super lame..
at least you were able to have dinner with JUST him as planned.. you know? at least you had that time with him.. sounds like you may need to talk and say your feelings about this directly.. that you would love to A. spend more time with just HIM and not these annoying people.. and B. about this whole "ditching" thing here.. and you already HAD plans set out.. no reason to leave you out of it.. when you ARE his girlfriend too.. >_>

I'm sorry you felt ditched, but at least you did get time with him! Sometimes guys just like to hang out with their group, so at times a relationship has it's compromises where you gotta give up a little happiness for the happiness of your significant other! I think it would be a good idea to talk out your feelin's with him.
One thing I always did with my ex whenever I wasn't havin' fun was just to think to myself "what if this was the last time I got to see them and they died in some accident before I got to see them again?" and it makes me enjoy bein' with them no matter what, so I don't regret the night if it ends up bein' my last! 3nodding Might make things more enjoyable when things don't go accordin' to plan!

The plan wasn't to have dinner. I couldn't afford that and shouldn't have spent that money.
I did that just so that I could spend time with him.
Our plan was to hang out at his place, where neither of us would have to waste money.
The thing that bothered me most about the time at school is that I couldn't get a word in at all to him, so I felt like there was no point in staying.
But as for the evening, it's not like it's "his" group. It's actually our group [how we met in the first place], and the only reason I didn't go along was because of the money.
So I'm really only upset because they dropped that extra $120 for the stupid pass.
But having talked to him I've found out that he had already bought his ticket when someone went off to get the speed pass without telling him. He'd already spent the money, everything was already set that he was spending the evening with them. Then he finds out that they've purchased the speed pass and expect him to chip in. At that point it was pay the extra, or spend the night alone.
So now I can go on to just being pissed off with people I thought were my friends.

I've had that s**t happen to me, too, just not verbatim. That's why I don't care as much about my friends as I ought to, they don't really pull through for you like you'd hoped they would. Sounds like they need a kick in their genitalia so they can waste some more money to get them fixed and working right.
