My other friend, who said she'd watch the movies with me this week, is avoiding me now...  
 
responding to an email invite to come over:
"I'm booked for camp counseling all week and I have a karate test on Friday."
does this look deliberate to you?
Also, I sent out an email to the people i know who haven't read LOTR, begging them at their feet (well, virtually) to follow along with that chapter-by-chapter book club in the Books section...  None of them have answered either...  maybe they're hoping I will soon go away and rave quietly to myself in the corner.  which wont happen, d'ya hear me??? IT WONT!!!  *calms down and eats a teddy bear*
