Screwed over & boredom strikes...

So the expression should be, "...all dolled up, and no where to be", however, tonight mine would go a little something more like this: "...all dolled up with somewhere to be, but no one to take me". I hate not being able to be entirely self-sufficient sometimes. Okay, no...I hate it all of the time! Independence is something I would consider to be one of my key traits, yet it happens to become one of my biggest pet-peeves when there happens to be a lack of that capability.

So here's the scoop behind my ranting and raving:

My roommate was leaving this weekend to go visit her boyfriend out on the East coast. I was very excited, both for her and for myself. She hasn't seen him in like 7 or 8 months, and that's just hard, but also because I had asked if I could borrow her car while she was gone. Twice during those conversations she had commented back as, "Yeah...of course you can". So, here I am, getting all excited because I'll, at least for one weekend, have the power to go where I want, and when I want, at no one else' expense. I would get to visit my boyfriend on my discretion without feeling like a bother, and I would just get a little taste of 100% freedom. This morning rolls around, and as she's walking out the door to go to the airport, I bid her goodbye, tell her I hope she has lots of fun, and ask where she left her keys. Her response went a little something like this, "Umm...Chey...I don't really feel comfortable with you taking my car". And that was it. No independence...no seeing the boyfriend without feeling like a burden, no car.

Okay...so I would have to find a ride tonight to my friends' gig that they were playing. Shouldn't be a problem seeing as how I have two other roommates that would most certainly be going, right? WRONG! I get home from work...no one's home, and 9 phone calls later, I still didn't (and don't) have a ride. Therefore, I got all dolled up and am currently sitting at home, alone, on a Friday night, while all (yes, ALL) of my friends are partying it up without me. And this is the result of my boredom:
