Well.  Jonathan just informed me that, no, I don’t need to help with gas, and how about we leave Thursday morning.

Dear future people I make plans with.  If it’s a large enough, cross-country trip that I buy plane tickets on a certain day, thinking that 5 days together was a good amount, don’t limit my time to 1.5 days in our destination by changing the plans.

I understand for a while there he wasn’t even certain that he wanted me to go on the trip, so I guess it was fine for him to change his date of departure then, but I feel really jipped.  Especially because this trip is kindof a healing-deal anyways.

Damnit.  Sorry this situation is really disappointing, mom.  Your b-day money didn’t go to waste, but I sure have to make the best of it now.
