My enemy is myself

[TheRealCallie]

I see nothing about snowy volcanoes on that meetup page. Must be an error....

<sigh> You're impossible.

Yes, yes I am. So, how about creating your own meetup?

Nope. And before I said no I actually went as far as to look into it.

Anyone can start a meetup group if they want but you got to pay the meetup people a monthly fee to host your meetup page. No thanks.

The person in charge of the meetup I was a part of earlier this year let the subscription to her page run out because she had to pay fifty dollars a month for it. She moved the page over to facebook in early June and that was a good move for her since she didn't have pay anything anymore and a bad move for me because I am not on Facebook.

There was another meetup group over the weekend and I'd like to give a play-by-play of what happened but the truth is I didn't go and what's worse I didn't plan on going. I didn't take the chance of having it turn out like the last time even though there were a lot less people at this one.

I am kind of wondering if meet-up is not for me but then again I could just be saying it to convince myself not to go there anymore.

Sounds to me that you're making excuses. SOME meetups won't be for you, of course, but there is likely at least one out there that is. If you give it a chance, if you go more than once, if you don't sabotage it before you even get there.

If you don't want to do them anymore, find something else to do. If you want what you want, you have to do something to get what you want. What you want won't come to you wrapped in a neat little gift box.

There is no way I can even provide a decent comeback to what you said here because that's exactly what I was doing. I came up with a good reason why I didn't want to go and I held on to it. Truthfully it wasn't that good but I made it good enough.

No, I still want to. What's the alternative, to go back and do what I was doing before which was nothing? I had a little setback and the next time I see something planned I will try my best to be there.

A little update on the meetup scene.

There are no meetups scheduled in the near future so that is either because the organizers have been busy or they are afraid I will attend. (That's a self-deprecating joke there Callie so don't club me )

If there is one in the future and if it sounds good I will go.

While I am at it since this is my thread that I started I want to say something. TheRealCallie is a friend of mine and I am proud that she is. I think she is a wonderful person and I am lucky, fortunate and blessed that I became friends with her. She never told me what I wanted to hear - she always told me what I ought to hear and believe me that is a big difference. Without talking to her I would have never got the courage to go to a meetup or say hi to complete strangers. Her attitude was to try to get me out of my comfort zone instead of saying don't worry about it, everything's ok the way it is. Well, everything wasn't ok and this intelligent and wonderful friend has helped me so much.

I am not where I want to be just yet but I am a hell of a lot better than I was six months ago.

I just wanted to let my friend know how I felt. Thank you!

Meet-up news:

There's a new meet-up scheduled for the end of next week. It is a get together to gather stuff to send to the troops overseas. It's a very nice idea and so far about twenty people are going. Sorry to say I am not one of the twenty that will be attending. You see, this meet-up is scheduled for 7:30 a.m. and I will have already been at work for a few hours. I have to miss it.

Is there a similar meet-up at a later time on a different day, perhaps?

What kinds of things do you like doing?

"The only way out, is through". You CAN make a new story, keep it up!

 

[BeyondShy]

No, this is a one-time thing. Items will be packed up and sent overseas this week.

What kinds of things do you like doing?

With meetups I wouldn't mind going to a coffee get-together or to meet at a cafe. Or maybe go in a group to a movie. You see, I'm not a drinker so I would get pretty bored standing around a bar.

And before I forget, thank you very much for asking. I appreciate it.

Those sound like fun. And I hear you about the bar stuff. I am a moderate drinker, but I don't see much appeal in bars. I feel like most of the time in bars people just drink and talk about nothing, and besides they are usually too noisy to talk anyway.

And before I forget, thank you very much for asking. I appreciate it.

No problem! I just hope you keep trying. People are capable of great change, you have to make sure not to get caught up in negative spirals and keep telling yourself you can have it all if you just keep going for it. Good luck

My friend TheRealCallie is going to love this RealStory because it is ReallyFunny and 100% true. ForReal.

There is a meetup scheduled for tomorrow, November 20th. A better one than the one before because this is a meetup at a movie theater.

Ok here we go. The get together was announced and the time was given also. (7:00 p.m.) The only thing that was not told to us was what theater we were supposed to meet at and just as important what movie we were supposed to see.

One girl signed up to go and she was wondering the same thing. I responded in there that I would go but I had no information either. Monday turned into Tuesday, etc, etc and we don't know where it's going to be. The organizer has said nothing. So now another meetup is over with. I'd give this one a four out of ten.

RealFunny, RealMeet-ups, RealMe! :shy:

 

[TheRealCallie]

OHHH, it's like a treasure hunt!!!! You should totally go.

 

[BeyondShy]

OHHH, it's like a treasure hunt!!!! You should totally go.

It's not too late, you could give me a hint.

The one girl that said she was going to go must have been so frustrated with the entire thing because now she's not going. I blame the organizer here.

 

[BeyondShy]

You know, I'm having a hard time finding a decent meet-up for me but I always seem to find one made for Callie.

I can picture her joining this thing and with her expertise eventually taking over. When that happens she can set the temperature in the meeting room to a balmy 27 degrees. Home sweet home! :rolleyes2:

I haven't posted in here in over a month but I had to today to share the wonderful news.

Match.com sent me an e-mail informing me that there are fourteen (14) women who checked out my profile and want me to get in touch with them so we could meet!!

Fourteen???!! Fourteen? What does someone do in this situation? I need advice! All I want is one. I can't handle fourteen.

Then I remembered something....I never signed up for Match.com

I hate spam e-mails

Have a good weekend.

Little worried about next week. Crutches and I do not get along so well.
