Okay, here's my issue. A group of my friends and I were planning on doing our XMas/New Years celebration dinner/hanging out thing either today or tomorrow. So last week I sent out a mass email (our typical way of making plans) to see which day works best. Out of the 8 of them, only 2 responded. So I waited for more responses. And waited. And waited.

Finally yesterday, I sent out another mass email asking if we were doing anything or what. I got an email back (yep, another mass email) saying yes, they've decided to book a hotel room (stupid idea - there's going to be 10-12 of us!), and we'll either have a potluck, go out to eat or order in pizza, etc. It'll cost $12/person, yada yada yada. The email finishes "email me if you can make it or not", etc. In other words, even though this was meant for me to organize, and I attempted to, it seems like they've went behind my back (deliberately or not - point is I have no say in this anymore), organized this, and now it's up to ME to show up or not.

Do I have a right to be irked? Should I blow it off tomorrow?

I'd say yeah, you should be slightly irked, but I honestly don't think it's that huge of a deal. Obv you only hang around with cool people (like moi), so I say just go and have a good time, instead of sitting at home harumphing. Just be safe in the knowledge that you could have organized something way better, and smirk to yourself at every opportunity.

True, but there's always been this underlying tension between me and the crew. They're the same circle of friends I hang out with when Raf (aka The Paraplegic Date From Hell - who just formally asked me out last week) started focussing on me. I'm substantially younger than most of them and I was introduced to them by another friend. Basically, I'm the 8th wheel. It just pisses me off because last time they got on my case about planning things and then blowing it off (usually because they wound up wanting to leave things to the last minute, or they didn't give any input to the plans and I finally gave up) - so now I'm trying to plan something that I actually wanted to attend, and they knew that, and still decided not to include me.

I mean, basically, if I hadn't sent out that email asking what was going on, no one would have contacted me to see if I wanted to go. (And this isn't a traditional thing - I don't think. I was just introduced to this group in April.)
