>>10576022Yeah, leadership isn't a thing I do, I'm just the friend that's there for everything whether I'm needed or not.
The only time I ever disappoint my friends is on MY birthday... I hate my birthday. A whole day where the focus is on me. Weirdly, I hate getting presents. I hate when people give stuff to me, which makes my Mum of all people sad, in turn making me sad that I'm being such a prick on my birthday... her youngest childs birthday.
Hell, my 20th birthday, she planned a surprise party for me. Even made it Power Rangers themed, because I still dork out over that show. I unfortunately was home one day, received a phone call not meant for me from the place asking about the reservations for my party and stuff... I specifically told her I didn't want a party and said to not do anything of the sort for me, so you'd guess I'd get pretty pissy over it.
No... well, sort of, but I took the opportunity to confirm and improve certain things about the party, then like an incredible jerk off, I disappeared on that day.. I went elsewhere for the day, left my phone at home, just went to this bookshop/cafe a few hundred miles away that I remembered I went to once. Spent the day there.
The kicker was, everybody went to the party and were getting worried that I'd disappeared, but remained anyway. The time that it started, the owner of the establishment gave them the message I requested he leave for them. Something along the lines of "I know it's an incredibly dick move, but I did say I didn't want this. That's no reason for everybody to not enjoy the party anyway. Go ahead and enjoy celebrating me, but I will not be attending."
Ohhhhhhhh I seemed like a gigantic douche bag for that stunt, but everybody did what I wanted anyway and enjoyed themselves at least.
