Time to commandeer a restroom stall and lower your purity test score.
I'm with ita. Then take me for a weekend someplace nice.
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

I think ita has the right plan, in that situation!
I'm irked--a friend said "Hey, I'm having dinner with someone, and then let's you and I get together, 9ish? and have a drink and then go dancing". OK, great.
At 9 she texted me, and said "get together at 10?" and I wrote back that I'd rather a littel earlier, if I'm going to leave the house and not fall asleep. ...didn't hear from her. Asked where she wanted to meet. ....didn't hear from her.
Finally it's now 9:55 and she just text saying "where should we meet?" Well, we're not meeting at 10, that's for sure!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I've said this to kids I know.
I've said it to my own kids. And felt not one whit of guilt about it.
WRT traditional summer holiday foodstuffs: ita has a point, but summer tends to mean barbeque, so that's probably why so many of the summer holidays default to that. But the 4th has fireworks. And we are going to Catalina again for the 4th. Woot!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
and she just text saying "where should we meet?"
Some other day, surely. At least that'd be my answer if I was irked. And you have righteous irk in this situation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Memorial Day--like July 4th, but with less flash. I feel kinda sad on its behalf. Still taking it off, though.

But ... There are over 1250 miles of racing tomorrow. How can you feel sad for a day with three massive races? I mean, beyond the part where many people don't care. But I maintain those people are missing out on the awesomeness of motorsports.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

You can have my share.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, that's totally righteous irk.
OMG, y'all, I am so tired! My dogs are barking. Audubon this morning, running errands this afternoon. Then the music store students gave their big Rock Academy concert! They did so completely great! Everything from Tom Petty to Death Cab for Cutie to Arcade Fire. They rocked it out.
Then we had the last worship service with our buddy. We threw balloons out on the stage and dropped them from the catwalk. Then during the penultimate song we did bubble machine bubbles, beach balls, confetti and noisemakers. It was a blast.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Announcement: I found a new cocktail to make at home, involving both bourbon and tequila.
Recipe, please?

You can have all of mine--I grew up in Indy and don't need it.
Luckily, irksome friend eventually showed up, we checked out a new bar with fab cocktails and, shockingly, quiet! on a Saturday night! Then went dancing, where I managed to avoid making out with the ex, but ended up feeling very old when we agreed that managing to stay until 1AM was totally sufficient.
