A good evening then a dull day.

So, after trapeze I went to the pub. Met some people I know. Discovered eglantinedreams seems to know someone else I knew. Chatted to a slightly drunk girl. snogged a slightly drunk girl. Turned down invitation to The Engine Rooms. Agreed to see her today.

Today, was Pride. Got some nice pics and uploaded some highlights.

Friend from Bristol couldn't come down, neither could squirrel_dreams.  Thought I'd try and meet a friend hadn't seen for ages but don't have her number and she wasn't answering what I was given as new number.  People I met last night aren't talking to me (I wasn't expecting them to but though I'd try), and all my Brighton friends are working.  Big festivals are pretty dull on your own.  I'm sure there's a way to solve this but I don't know how.  I tried treating it like a sci-fi convention but the social dymanic just doesn't work with normal people (except for that steampunk guy in the last photo). 

Seem to be at a loose end now.

edit: Girl I met last night eventually responded to my text:)

edit2: And completely failed to show up when I suggested meeting up again.

Yeah, I chatted about this with a friend of mine and she defended the girl saying "She was probably just shy or didn't want to hurt your feelings". Like that justifies bad manners. *shakes head*

Rant mode on:

The thing is, that's sort of true. But it's also a cowardly cop-out.

She doesn't want to say "no" because that makes her feel bad. Instead, she messes me about until I lose interest. Makes her feel better because then I'm the one losing interest in her.

I can cope with rejection. I don't like being lied to.

I agree
