Well, that sucked.

I had the 7 Straight Nights candlelight vigil and sign holding thing tonight.  It - well, it sucked.  Out of the 20 or so people who promised to show, only 4 actaully did.  One person came in off the street who wanted to help, which was awesome, but everyone left well before the actual vigil started.  So... just me, sitting in the plaza with 50 luminary bags, a cooler full of water bottles and a plateful of cookies I made yesterday, hoping desperately that someone would show up.  At about 8:10 I gave up and just packed everything up, ordered a pizza and went home to hide under the covers with a nice glass of Baily's.  Yeah, tonight sucked. 

Oh, well.  At least it's over, and now I can just concentrate on school and my dad.

It was really disappointing and frustrating. I hope that if I do it again it will be better.

Damn! That must have sucked! I hate it when people let me down :(

Yeah. It felt like my heart was going to sink down to my shoes.

How disappointing, Pip. I've had that experience too, of planning something and not attracting folks to attend. I hope you had a good night's sleep and can start out fresh today.

Thanks, hon. It was the first thing I've ever really been in charge of, so it really left me depressed that it didn't work out. I hope that if I ever do it again, the results will be better.

*hugs* You tried -- which is a lot more than most people can say.

I keep telling myself that, but it just sucked so much at the time. Sigh.
