Note to Self: Get Friends who won't forget me

Having Been home for slightly over a month now I've run into one major hitch... my friends keep forgetting me. I never thought I was a particularly forgettable person but when the people that you've considered your best friends start forgetting you it makes you wonder. The first time I was supposed to be getting a ride to reception, but the person I was getting a ride from wasn't sure what time they were leaving to go, so they promised to call me... a day later and I was still waiting for a call, which bit major. Another time a different friend invited me to go to the fair with him and his girlfriend, again he wasn't sure what time they were going, so I said hey call me when you go... once again days passed... and you know I still haven't gotten a call and don't know what happened there. Then I tried to call a friend I'd had a bad day and I needed to talk to someone, I left a message and asked them to call back... it's been five days and I never heard back from them. And then today I got the most devastating one of all. Last Sunday I woke up with a migraine and was kind of shaky... I wasn't thinking clearly and forgot that Alex Boye was giving a fireside in Boise that night, I was super excited for this fireside when I first heard about it and ranted to all my friends... who all knew that I was obviously thrilled, as Mr. Boye is my musical hero. Today while talking to some friends I found out they had gone to the fireside, no one called me to see if I was feeling better and wanted to go, they didn't call to see if I had forgotten and wanted a ride... nothing at all. And today all one of them would say when I mentioned I didn't know where to go was... "you weren't in church". I have to say this made me feel like crud. And I have come to a decision, it's time for me to go out and find new friends, ones who will keep promises to call me, will think of me when there's something I ranted about attending but then missed church the day of. And most importantly friends who will never forget me
