B-Ball Game
So tonight I went to the basketball game against UNLV. I haven't been to a game since I lived in basketball land watching players the size of ants while sitting in one man's b-ball mecca. Needless to say, I was somewhat closer tonight. So here's the skinny: Brandon Heath really is good. Actually, there is a lot of talent on the team. Number 3 (sorry, I can't remember the names too well) is only a little taller than me, but he is super fast and runs around the court like some sort of acrobat. Number 4 is also really good, but I would say he is the weak link of the team because he is really overconfident. He'll shoot the ball and then fade back as if he knows it's going to go in, so when it doesn't, he's not there to rebound. He also has a tendency to move on before actually catching the ball, meaning he loses it when he really shouldn't. The team as a whole plays really fast, and UNLV just couldn't keep up or move fast enough. They also play well together and share the ball (I saw an alley-oop that was unexpected as well as amazing), and they aren't afraid to take risks when they pay off (although they don't always pay off). SDSU is also a good 3-point shooting team.
So here's the other stuff. When UNLV came into the arena, there were boos, which I think is really lame and classless. And then there was my friend. I basically had to invite myself since they didn't even bother to invite me until I said I'd like to use my free ticket for myself and come along. When I asked if she wanted to meet before the game, she said she was riding along with everyone else so I was pretty much on my own. So right before the game, I asked her where she wanted to meet me, and she said, "'we'll find each other when we get there". So when I got there, I sent a text message asking her where she was, and her reply was "in the student section". The student section is one entire end of the arena, and she didn't answer the next message asking where EXACTLY she was, so I just walked around until I found her and the five other people she came with. She barely talked to me for the whole game, and then at halftime she got me to buy her and her friend a soda (which isn't cheap at those things, and they both threw most of it away). During the game, she and her other friends were slapping high fives and she didn't ever bother to introduce me to any of them. After the game, she was talking with them outside and I was kind of hanging around, and she STILL didn't introduce me to any of them, and basically pretended I wasn't even there. Then they decided to go out and she didn't bother to invite me. She asked me where I parked, and I told her I was parked on the other side of campus. She didn't offer me a ride, which I kind of expected. Then she said she had to go because her other friends were going to leave her and she ran off.
So do I bother to tell her that she was a total jerk, or do I let it go? It's not like this is the first time this has happened. Tomorrow she's going to an anti-v-day party, and even though she told me about it, she never bothered to invite me even though she is well aware that I am single and depressed. Aren't friends supposed to include you? I'm really irritated about it, and I really don't want to keep feeling like I'm not good enough to be included or like she thinks I'm too old to hang out with her and her 23 year old friends. Anyway, I'm debating what I should do.
Happy Birthday.
p.s. do you think I'm clingy?

Hey! I missed your call while I was at the Carolina game (we lost by 1 in OT, not a good way to start a birthday, lol)...I was looking at my missed calls last night and noticed it (virtually no cell service in the Smith Center).
Wow, your "friend" is definitely a jerk. Heck, even if *I* were at a basketball game and had all my superstitions to follow, I wouldn't act like that. Is it worth it to have the discussion with her or would you rather just write her off?
As to your clinginess, I'm assuming the question refers to you in relationships. Yes, I can see you being a bit clingy. Of course, that trait may be due to your gender. ;-)
